Prwlyn, you may have just run up against a V6 or stock GT with a Cobra badge. Some peole dress up their cars to make them their own. I sprinkled a bit of cat nip out there, and look what it attracted.

Question: What did the prowler say just before it got killed?????

Chromer - they don't like you either!

Mike's 11.65 quarter mile time, along with the other 11 second cats and a host of 12 second cats will get respect where it counts - racing. Who cares what they say on an internet forum.

There's no doubt in my mind a Cobra can be modified to be faster than the fastest Prowler. If I wanted to just go fast, I would bought a V8 car or a Viper. I'll keep what I got - thanks. You Ford people - enjoy your's too.

For the Cobra guys (and Mary - see I did read your posts) who are lurking there. I have some time slips from my local 1/8 mile track showing low 8's (8.14 to 8.23) in the 1/8th with a 1.82 to 1.94 60 foot times on a stock Prowler 3.5 liter moter and 150 HP shot of juice on street tires. With my new 4.0 stroker motor, once I get the fuel delivery and tuning finsihsed, I should be able to get that in the 7's with 1.4 mile in the 11's. Not exactly rice burner times you're trying to compare our cars to.

It's good to see people take pride in their cars. It's too bad when some people have to get ugly about it.

I had a stock Mustang 5.0 that ate a Vette for breakfast...I considered Camaros my rival. Hated ricers.

I had several Camaros ...some beat Mustang GT's at stoplights...Now THEY were my rival....and I still hated ricers...LOL.

I bought a Prowler to GET AWAY from street racing (I was getting in too much trouble), and the ridiculous brand bashing... I cruise, I enjoy my car, and I almost never have anyone try to race me like when I had other cars...not because my car is so super scary, but most people recognize it for what it is....a laid back cruiser. Even ricers don't bother me anymore...the rivalry is gone.

Big props to Cobra40 for seeing the big picture...but the trash talking is just sad to read. Then again, to be fair, if I had a Mustang and a Prowler owner was dissing my car because he thinks he's hot sh-t, I would start to hate Prowler owners too.

How hard is it to enjoy what we drive without swinging our balls into everyone's faces? Why do we have to feel whatever we are driving is better than anyone else's?

How would this play out in 1910?
