I actually do know snorman from T.R. i used to hang out with him and Mike 00ss and kenny h, and a few others I won't mention because of personal reason and not wanting them to see this and start posting here again.
If snorman went 12.6 on a street tire at Atco that is one thing. If you are talking about racing in the 1/4 mile to Ultimate orange with a 3400 TC, cammed, bolt on car I am going to have to say no way in hell. I have a similar car its an 02 with a 3600 TC, exhaust, and I went 12.2. that clearly is better then his 12.6. Now if you are talking on the street then yeah I can see snorman destroying him because I'm assuming it's supercharged. I'm not a mustang fan so I don't know.
Anyway my point has always been that in order for the stangs to claim their dominance over the LS1 they have to supercharge the car. They can't or at least couldn't make a stang that was even close to the LS1 N/A.
In that case why would I spend all the additional money on a stang when I can do basic mods on an LS1 and still be faster.
Not to mention if I know SNORMAN he probably did a few little tweeks and didn't tell anyone. He knows how to get good performance out of cars with very little change.

Hes a member on most of the fbody boards along w/ stang boards. You may know him. He ran a 12.6@115 stock in a terminator right here in Atco. The cars trap proves the power differance in the two not a driver mod. Not sure what Ls1 is trapping anywhere near 115 bone stock, o wait there isnt any. He also raced a member named ultimateoranngess from eatontown(99 hugger SS) who had a stalled(believe 3400 @ the time), gear'd,LS6 cam'd, bolt on Ls1 car and detroyed him stock, they were also clean races. Im sure he posted that in the kill stories as well. Not here to start a flame thread, all I ever owned were camaro's but for you to say that its a drivers race is crazy. Now a bolt on Ls1 and a stock cobra might be a drivers race. Believe me there's plenty of Cobra owners that have ran near Evan Smith times without being professional drivers. It doesnt take the driver mod to get a 12 out of a termi. Most of the average drivers cut 12.8's or so. Both these cars have been out several years and anyway you look at it the Cobra is a 1/2 second faster stock on average and it only gets worse when the modding begins due to the FI @ forged Cobra motor. I understand this is an fbod board and there's bias people here(why should it be different then any other site) but thats no reason to dog the oppositions performance because of brand loyalty. Im sure you die hard fbody guys are tired of hearing this crap so im gonna end my part in this thread right here  . |
