i got timeslip to prove it... wanna see that too? Spare me with your egocentric thoughts about the superiority of big V8's... i'm in both worlds.. and i like em both. Not once in your argument did you ask about modifications, not once did you ask what i was running. From an argumentative perspective, you have only shown ignorance. It pisses me off, quite frankly, when people question my integrity and honesty.

lol Jen...calm down. You did say that you were running 14.9 in your civic right? So it WOULD be logical to say a stock mustang cobra can beat you...quite easily. I know I got beaten by one and I'm running 14.0 ...not trying to bash your civic but only saying he might of thought like I just did.
Or maybe it wasn't a cobra? Just a GT?

No, it wasn't a GT it was a cobra. He did beat me in the 1/4, like i said. But i got to the 1/8th ahead of him. So i still lost, just making a point. And i'm not saying it is a fair comparison, Nitroused Civic vs. Stock cobra... but i have no where near the amount of HP OR Torque. 2500lb car, 140hp+55shot Nitrous. My 60' was 2.1. Like i said, i lost to the guy, but to think that NO civic could take a cobra is silly.. There are plenty of turbo honda's running 13's, and 12's... No flame.... just pointing things out. :yesnod:

When did this topic make the jump from 230cc SBC heads to hondas? :confused: Jenny... no flame, but what did the honda beating the cobra in the 1/8th mean?
