03/04 Cobra

[Mr. Luos]

Had at least exhaust.
Plate read 'WHTWHNE'
I have a feeling it had more than exhaust, but I wasn't able to talk with him.
I went out to get some gas in the T/A. Won't have time tomorrow night after work and Wednesday afternoon I am racing it at the track. So, just took it down the street.

I was on a local 2 lane road (55 MPH) and I see the car. I go about 60 to catch him. Side by side for a while, then just as I step on it in 3rd gear, he does too.
From roughly 55-85 I put about 1 1/2 cars on him.

I had to get outta it as traffic was approaching.
We both take a left at the next light. I am behind him.
We get around the corner, and he goes WOT. Took him a second to do it, so I thought we were done playing and had already shifted into 2nd.
I just floor it....I had to short-shift 2nd gear to avoid hitting his bumper. 3rd was basicly the same.
We both slow up....and I head home.
Quick wave.
Fun!

Nice.

N/a kills the FI. Bonus points for that being in high elevation. Well done.

i hate u soooooo much right now......good kill/fun! i here in the boring place that i am, have no fun, unless i go to the closed down middle school by the house and put up cones for my own little auto-x. no one wants to race anymore these days by me, unless u have a fart can.

I seriously saw this thread title, and who started it, and the first thought that went through my head was "poor cobra"

You didn't put the beating I expected on him, but nonetheless, very nice kill, especially considering the altitude! Congrats!

I don't know what would have happened if we actually got to run a good distance.
I wish I knew what was done...Most of the Cobras around here at least have the pulley swap done.

Would have liked to have had some distance and been able to run him from a dig or a slower roll.

Don't worry. A pulley swap Cobra, or even a ported Eaton one will not likely beat you, unless enhanced by spray.

At your current ratings, It'll likely take a KB or Whipple Cobra to walk you, considering the weight disadvantage Cobras have.

[Mr. Luos]

There is a local guy running very similiar trap times as me with a KB Cobra.
Mean car!

[2000LS1Z28]

Good kill. I'm sure if you were able to get around him there'd be one irritated Cobra owner. Still though, the fact that bolt ons Cobra can tally up to 450whp, gives them half a chance. I can't say the same of the Ford GT500, because it doesn't seem all that much faster then the "Terminators".

Hoping to line up with a GT500 tomorrow night at Bandimere.

[Mr. Luos]

I will take the video camera.
