Got-Boost?

Nice video.....maybe I'll be off work next year...

Yep looks like a 944, 968, or 928 but hard to tell....

LOL....what's it gear limited to?

Not impressed with that Cobra AT ALL...

Oh course, because it's only the first time EVER done... :gabe: Onboard video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQh8kZnyL9M

I don't have time for this crap right now, let alone I'm in Texas.... Have Jamie bring that thing to the Texas Mile next March and we'll do something there on the runway...

So really it's not the fastest, just the fastest that meets your criteria for what is considered or called a street car.....got it! You may want to add with air conditioning also....

I'm sorry but who exactly is suppose to be the fastest street car based on this thread? 1/4? 1-Mile? TopSpeed? Typically you have to earn the right to be called "the fastest" before you call people out to race. For clarification would this be Ray Hoffman, Larry Larson, Sal Patel, who?

The RACE BIKE!! http://hphotos-snc6.fbcdn.net/278423_248119565216379_100000550137534_1009993_4144670_o.jpg

He just ran 311MPH at Lorng this morning....congrats bud!!! https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/photo.php?fbid=248119565216379&set=a.122515351110135.18273.100000550137534&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/photo.php?fbid=10150315500500312&set=a.189940560311.155888.506580311&type=1&theater http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a1d934b3127ccefdca512d4edc00000030O00AZNWrhk1aOGIPbz4e/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

Pics of it finished, update?

+1 Another GREAT platform... :thumbup: I thought he was just messing with everyone like the 7M guys....so he was serious?

Not really surprised......wish someone would bring one of these bikes out to TX2K12... When JonVon's broke dick ass POS BUSA with WORKING nitrous stays beside Tim and SW's car, a proper TURBO-BUSA is going to walk them...

I don't see the big deal with a stock engine. I'm more concerned what kind of power the BLOCK will hold. Anyone can slap some rods/pistons in but what are the blocks limits if we are talking 800hp+... If you are only planning on making half that 400-500ish....what's the big deal?

+1 The 96+ Cobra blocks will handle over 1,200hp+. Good pistons/rods and they handle a LOT of power even with the older heads/cams. The 03/04 heads will make more power... 96-98 had 9.85:1 compression. They are very stout motors I would say closer to 500whp on stock rods/pistons but that is pushing it. Ben Dorn went low-10's on a stock motor '98 Cobra making around 600whp before the rods let go... They don't respond to bolt-on's like the LSx motors but with Supercharger/Turbo(s) they will make stupid power.... If you mean completely STOCK bottom end, there are guys making over 1,000hp on the 03/04 Cobra's but a top end run and they are done. Your talking closer to 600-800 for drag duties with a proper tune. Like anything, some have made more before they popped and some have made less. The stock rods won't take long periods of high RPM at 700+...

Stilling wondering what kind of power he's wanting and what size Turbo?

Like to hear yourself talk much....LOL!?! Yes, Toyota did have hundreds of people come out with complaints. A few hundred is a little different than a dozen. My point is that where does it end? Pretty soon you won't have any niche vehicles or special models because anything besides going 55mph to/from work, etc. is going to be considered excessive because of claims by people using the product to the extreme. Then everyone will get there vag all out of shap because in there mind that's what it was built for REGARDLESS OF THE SCENARIO... I took my Raptor off a 50' cliff and it didn't survive, damn you Ford I want a new truck... :lolguy:

They can NOT design a truck that will handle EVERY scenario that is thrown at it.....PERIOD! Anyway, the point is that this has only affected the dozen or so trucks ON THAT DAY AND COURSE!!!! With that in mind it seems like the video clearly shows what caused the damage and ONLY those trucks have been affected. Some guys posted in the thread that they have done far worse and don't have any frame issues... If it were a real problem there would be hundreds of these trucks with bent frames out of the 10k+ produced and that's just NOT the case. Even the bean counters factor in lemons and other issues that can and do happen with ALL brands. I would say that a dozen is pretty minor compared to total build volume and with your legal team, even that should have turned on a LIGHT... Again, this isn't happening to ALL trucks only a select few so a mass recall is just STUPID!!! Think about what you are saying. The 99's got a new catback exhaust and some cars got the extrude honed intake. Even then Ford made it right....same with the 03/04 Cobra's that had some bad catalytic converts from a SUPPLIER that were down on power... I guess this guy better get inline at GM since the truck didn't handle what this owner considers "normal" driving:

It was on the 1999 Cobra's that were rated at 320hp not the 1996. It was also because some people coudln't launch the IRS cars and run times in the 13's and when the regular GT was beating them they were pissed. So they did do a few things to the cars but from my EXPERIENCE actually racing them, the cars ran just fine. I ran 13.6-13.7 in my 97' Cobra's stock and friends with '99s ran 13.4-13.5 BEFORE the recall changes. Again, idiot consumers that can't do what is claimed or NOT because of lack of ability. They then want the manufacture to repair there car or give them a refund or some other form of compensation for there tears...

I see you edited and added a little, cool! There is a difference in Ford and Nissan (to give you an example, times may be different)... Nissan advertised the GT-R to run 0-60 in 3.x whatever and continued publicity on those numbers and launches. Only problem is the car wouldn't run 3.x times but only 4.x with the car in what they considered "normal" driving mode. In order to get the 3.x time they were claiming you had to put the car in launch control mode blah...blah....bla... which they then define in the owners manual as CLEARLY VOIDING THE WARRANTY! I think they also said something about the car being stuck in snow and then having to turn off that same aid that voids the warranty. There is a BIG difference... Ford has never said anything like! They haven't said the truck can be jumped @ 40mph over a 2' rise, etc...etc... then when people do like Ford supposedly claimed the frames are bending! ...and the video: I'd say that's a pretty good kicker and clearly it bent the frames! Heck, they are documenting everything nicely, once Ford reads that thread they could deny a lot of claims!

Do you really think they are going to put out that kind of info/videos without a SINGLE disclaimer? Go read the fine print sometime.... Notice how I said OTHER threads......some of those guys are doing stuff way beyond SVT videos... Really people......really....lets have a little common sense.... GO READ THE WARRANTY AND BROCHURE.... HERE: http://files.me.com/jasonwilliam/ilnxdo That's in addition to the regular F150 warranty/brochure also... Pretty sure a company like FORD knows how to cover themselves. Not saying they won't cover the damage with enough complaints but lets not get crazy here.

Did you read any of the other threads? They were doing Raptor runs at 60mph+ over rough terrain, I'd say he's out of luck and it's not Ford's fault at all. I see Mustangs raced in brochures, doesn't mean if you go out to the dragstrip and snap something it's going to be covered under warranty...

I don't really see an issue. Some of these guys are NOT kind to those trucks so a few dozen having issues out of over 10k could be considered normal. I'm sure Ford will make it right in the end.

Great thread... LOVE my daughter, greatest thing that has happened to my wife and I....look forward to more some day. When she was a little one, have to look on my FB page for current ones (now 21-months). http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/GotBusa/Baby%20Barton/Barton008.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/GotBusa/Baby%20Barton/Barton013_BW.jpg

For those not in the know, what does this mean? Heard Velocity is closing shop, the new owner couldn't keep up with demand last I heard... I hope you have a good tuner, that is the deal breaker on a Turbo bike!
