Not too bad for nearly stock vs stock. Some of the later vids is when the Cobra upgrades a few things, it gets a lil ugly.
Seen it. Nick has himself a bad ass car... 95LT1 why don't you head on over to www.f-bodyhideout.com and check out their video section, has a crap load of 98snakeeater producktion and LS1turd.com videos too.
I have. I have so many freakin videos on my computer it's not funny. Since I've gotten "teh BROADBAND", I think they've tripled. I get them from the said sites above, kazza, and usually AR.
You dont have to join to d/l. I know have exactly six (6!) gigs of racing vids (with a few funny vids thru in) almost all from there. That site has a ****load of vids, regardless if it is for neons :)

I know LT1 is gonna flame me for this but.....
There is no way that t/a should have kept anywhere close the that 03 cobra. That 03 should have walked away from em. Kilabyte has to be the worst driver in the entire world, either that or his cobra is a "Factory Slowbitch" (vs a factory freak).
Every single vid I see him in he loses (and i have like 3 or 4). Every one. A guy in a AMG e55 outlaunched him for christ sake! Like 4 different races! And he had D/Rs on, and was dynoing like 470 hp or something. That is just sad. Losing to a AMG is one thing, it is a high HP car, but it weighs tons. Getting outlaunched like that is just sad.
I think he must granny shift at like 4k RPMs or something.

Dude, I'm not gonna flame you for it. IM NOT BRAND LOYAL, well maybe a lil. I just KNOW that right now GM cars produce more power than Ford's. That being said. The same Cobra, with different mods, beats the Snake Eater. That's why I don't think it's the driver.
Go check out the "SVT or SS" post in the 4.6 area, then you'll see why I have so many problems with Ford guys.

The AMG E55 weighs about 200 lbs more than the 03 Cobra, and having like 550 ft lbs of torque over Kilabytes like 460 ft lbs makes up for that 200 lbs easily.
I know the videos you're talking about, and if you go to mercedes benz' web page and click on the AMG cars you can see a set of stats for the E55, it's a monster of torque...more so than Kilabytes Cobra is making afte rall those modifications.

95LT1 no doubt the TA's are strong, the one I drove was almost as fast as my C5. I was surprised. The darn torque curve is so flat, B*&^% pulls nice at only 1,500. I like both Stangs and F-bodies, there's good and bad in em both. I wish They make one with the good in both. I so wish that Ford would bore out the 4.6 and keep it NA. BTW nice GIFF
I also wish they'd kept it N/A, would've been more respectable. Instead of actually trying, they just strapped on a blower. And, Thanks [image]http://www.mustangforums.com/albumtn.aspx?size=tn&imgpath=2937-asppg_Tr516949445.gif[/image]
