me and some blond chick in what looked like her 30's pulled up in a nice almost brand mustang SVT, i wasnt plannin on doing anything tonight because my header isnt tightend all the way to the exsaust, we were sittin at a red light and i was mindin my own busniess, when it goes green, i start to go normaly and she shoot's off, so im like wtf and floor it, we went about two blocks before we had to shut it down and i was starting to pull on her, my front bumper was about even with the rear of her door's (mind you she had the jump on me at the light) we cruise together for a little bit, then its time to part ways and she give's me a wink and takes off, me and my buddy were crackin up, anyways just thought i'd share, wasnt a win, but i dont really think it a loss either https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

the only SVT is the cobra.



if it was almost brand new it's an 03.



03 cobra = s/c 390hp....which most people agree is underrated from the factory as many are seeing almost exactly that at the rear wheels.



therefore



n/a vert < s/c cobra



honestly i dont think you were catching up, i think they were feeling bad and hit the brakes.



kevin.

i think she wasn't even paying attention to you and driving like typical females do. what i gather from this story is that you got smoked by a cobra at 3/4 throttle....

whatever, it had the typical mustang body style, i couldnt tell exactly what it was, but assumed it was an svt, it was pretty dark so i could be mistaken, and i could tell she was on it, yeesh, what is with people bein dicks about any race i seem to post, with the 510 everyone was in awe and now that it's the vert im suddenly lieing out of my ass?

well looks like everyone can be in awe again, im gettin my 510 back https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

The problem with the story is it doesn't add up.Even if she was a bad driver you guys raced to atleast what 140, that would take some serious power in a vert to catch up to a high 12 low, 13 sec car....

how does two blocks add upto 140 O_o we got to 70 or so, and like i said i could have been mistaken about the model, it was dark and the car was black

My 11 sec AWD talon got eaten up by a modded 03 Cobra from a 40 mph roll on. They are fast cars....

It could have been the previous generation Cobra, or even just a GT. That would make it closer, they are heavy.

like i said, i could have been mistaken pretty easy, it was dark and car was black, all i could tell is that she was on it and i was slowly, very slowly, but still creeping on her

Dude dont get all defensive, but when you tell a story, and you said it was an SVT cobra, thats what the people that are reading ther story are going to think it is. So if we say there is no ******* way you hung with an SVT Cobra, then take it like a mang. By the way I guess nice tie non tie kill loss thing.

IT WAS PROB A V6! if she was really on it it would prob be just like you said





p.s. not that theres anything wrong with that

no need to get on the defensive, but there is no way in hell your vert could come close to SVT mustang, she wasnt racing or she was driving a v-6



the exaust tone of her car alone should have told you.

a lot of people run dual flows on the v6 and you cant really tell. well you can but its not that simple

i couldnt hear her car over mine, my exsaust isnt bolted completely on, and im not trying to be defensive, i'm just trying to get fact's out, i could tell she was raceing, and i was slowly catchin up, belive it if you want, i had a passenger who saw it so i dont really care

the laws of physics are against you, your car has less then half the power, it has almost 1/3 the power of a Cobra.



dont worry, I have 2 of those slow verts myself, lol

well the law's of physics suck https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png but yeah now that i think about it, i could have heard it over my car if it was a V-8, i just said SVT because my buddy was actuly lookin at the other car while this was happenin and that's what he told me, i was payin too much attention to the road to really notice

get a new friend.





no, jk

he's usaly pretty reliable about car models and things of that sort, but i guess everyone has there off day's https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

SVT's have been around for longer then the new 03 model with the supercharger. The old SVT either had a high output 5.0 engine that put about 285horse to the ground or the shitty 4.6 liter that puts around 250 to the ground. So if it was an SVT you might have hung with it.

Great kill! Rock on https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683827.gif

even with 250 at the ground.... this is an n/a vert.



aka heavy and heavily underpowered.



kevin.

with a street port, and just put my new driveshaft in that day so no more vibrations = more power actuly getting to the ground then before



plus now that i think about it, it looked more like a GT, like i said, it was dark, and i wasnt really payin attention to the model, i just wrote what my buddy said it was. mistake on my part, oh well

Even a GT would smoke a modded vert...

people who really know what they are doing and do great tunning are lucky to get 200hp from a street driven N/A 13b, your probably around 140-150 HP to the wheels.

whatever, im tired of defending my car, i was there, so was my buddy, and i was catchin up, take it as you want, i personaly dont care, it's pretty surpriseing the lack of entusiasm for a rotary kill (sort of), and yet everyone and there mom's were pattin me on the back when i had the 510 killin people left and right

maybe those people werent racing either https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



still dont know why your getting so worked up, no one knows how fast your 510 is/was, but we know how slow verts are.

im not getting worked up, i honestly dont care, it's just surpriseing that no one has any entusiasm for when a rotary start's catchin up and probably would have gotten the kill if i'd actuly have known she was gonna try and race me.. and it's pretty clear when someone is raceing, espicaly when they launch like there at the drag strip and floor it, granted, my 510 was a hell of alot faster then the vert, but for what it is i feel the vert is pretty fast, but wtvr, thats just me

Is a vert lighter than the base hardtops? I'd think it would be. Wouldnt that make it faster, if it is lighter than the hardtop. I dont know, I need some help here??

Vert is 300 pounds heavier than any coupe

Wow, no offense, I have never herd of a vert being lighter than any coupe, just in casr ur wondering why, think of all the support not there on top, where else do you think they put it, on the sides and other places plus some, sooooo.... ya

Oh. Good thing I know that now. Thanks, I know the question was a little dumb, but I seriously didnt know. I thought vert=lighter top lighter car. I didnt think of the extra reinforcement needed because of the fact that it has no top. Thanks though.

He-He-HE- I can CRUSH an SVT. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

SVT's are kinda fast ........but if u dont beat'em you can allways laugh @'em b/c is a POS rustang!!!and BTW i smoke SVT's all the time ....My friends got a 85 stupidcharged rustang GT and i whooped his ass 3 times in a row w/my gslse....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

OH ya! i 4got 2mention that he smokes SlowVt's w/ his STANG https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

what I dont understand is.... you were behind the car. your headlights were shining on the back. She is like 30 I doubt she would take off she shiny SVT badge on the back and her bumper would say COBRA (unless it was the 99 cobra, it just said mustang)

How do you mistake that for anything. It either said it or it didnt. If I was getting eaten I would look to see what was doing it. But thats just me

Maybe you were concentrating on shifting.

I'm sure I'll sound stupid for asking but, What is a vert? I pretty new to the rotery thing and don't know a lot about the history of roteries.

Con-(vert)-ible https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Ah, convertible. Thanks, I knew that question would sound stupid.

new to rotary and allready owns an fd..



well sir, learn all you can, but be weary, fd's arent the most reliable, or simplest of the rotary family to own or learn on.
