Try to have a discussion that envloves a import and domestic and the import guys seem to get bent or take it the wrong way every time.
P.S.
Mullets do rule, you will figure it out some day.

It gets old because so many domestic guys won't just let it go. I don't think anyone was being overly critical of the Cobra until you came into this thread and said, "Not to suprised since the STi looks to be at it's factory limits where as the Cobra can pick up 100+ at the wheels with a simple $80 blower pulley." You were wrong on two counts. One, the STi is nowhere near its limits and two, an $80 pulley will not get the Cobra 100+hp at the wheels. Even if it did, you would have to spend more money making the proper supporting mods to the car (i.e. fuel delivery and management). From that point forward, the thread went downhill into the same old "mullets own j00 all" stuff we hear all the time. It isn't getting old, it got old five years ago. Now it's just a mutilated pile of flesh where a dead horse used to be. The Cobra is a reasonably compitent car, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. No one made any real derogatory comments before your post, because no one cared enough to bother.

BTW the blower pulley mod requires no additional work to go with it (fuel, management, etc.). Darn those
cars are so cheap and easy to mod.. I would shudder to think what it costs to get the same H.P. increase in the mighty Subi. ? Oh and I did not make any derogatory comments as you referred to, it just seems you are the only one that views the that way.
P.S. What about that 9 m.p.h. difference in the 1/4 mile ?

I've seen what happens to a supercharged Ford running more boost and an inadequate tune up close and personal. Forced air induction means more fuel. Anything less and you run lean, jack up EGTs and eventually pop the motor. An STi owner could easily jack up the boost with a $50 MBC, but that doesn't make it the smart thing to do.
Are you just all about antagonizing people? Everyone of your posts is meant to "stir people up". I don't go to the Ford forum and start trouble. What's the point of this???

You need to grow an Iron Maiden style mane. That would kick ass.

Hey MR. Wizzard, are you always such a fucking cry baby ?
See anyone else getting bent out of shape besides you ? Who is stirring up trouble with the smart ass comments ?
And I am glad you have seen a Ford running boost up close and personal
. As I said before and anyone else with a brainstem knows install the Lightning pulley on a Cobra and instant huge h.p. gains, no e.c.u change, fuel, etc.. Would changing these things help even more ? Sure.And I would pimp a Focus RS any day so do not generalize all domestic drivers as mullets, some of you import crybabies hate it when domestic owners do it to you. I am pretty sure Ryan knows I respect his car and it is a import right ?
Now go get over yourself because your not impressing me any and you are looking like a tool.
