Now there is a smart engine to mod.. a boat anchor 305. There are 4 cyl Kias today with more power than what those terd 305s put out.

How many "kias" do you see at the dragstrip?

Re: Cobra performance

I have personally ridden in a 305 supercharged. It also left a Bmw M3 like it was standing still!

M3's aren't drag cars nor is every M3 fast...so what's your point?

Oh I forgot, putting a supercharger on a 305 will beat ANY Corvette, Cobra etc with its awesome 13 second time slips lol Simply slapping a supercharger onto a 305(LB9 I assume is your example) will get you NOWHERE near the 11's, not even close...you must live in a freakin' fantasy world.

Re: Cobra performance

What kind of air freshener though? One of those tree ones that hang from the mirror or the ones that clip into the heater vents? There's a big power difference between the too.
