hung with a cobra

[RoBoDEATH]

i was driving down shorter avenue friday night. this newer stang cobra keeps running around me changing lanes and revving and shit. well guess what happens? red light changes to red, look beside me, there he is........ fuck i think, fuck fuck fuck........ we see the opposing lights turn yellow.....then red....then BOOM the green arrow comes on our side and we almost run all over the fucking intersection......green arrow turns yellow, then goes away, then the light turns green.......i got a shitty take off which put my front bumper about in the middle of his door, and guess what, it stayed that way through the whole race, had i gotten a better take off, i would have taken him........after the race he rolls his window down and screams "GODDAMN WHAT THE FUCK YOU GOT UNDER THE HOOD OF THAT THING" and THAT is what made my day

Sure you beat a 385 horsepower monster. And if what's under the hood doesn't mean anything, you wouldn't have put in a supercharger under your hood. A civic couldn't beat a V6 mustang if it tried.

When he said "newer", it didn't necessarily mean the "new" Cobras. They did have the 2001 Cobras too, you know, with "only" 320HP. A properly tuned Civic with the JRSC his sig says he has can hang...as long as it's driven right...

Oh, and go here to read about my encounter with a V6 Camaro.

Sweet race, nice to hang with the big V8s. Nothing like the look of surpirse on people's face when you keep up with or beat them.

Carnutt- I would have more faith in a civic that looked like yours, obviously you know alot about cars. I just have trouble believing this story. He said it doesn't matter what's under the hood at all COME ON!

i never said it didn't matter what i had under the hood or what he had under the hood, what i did say is that he asked me what i had under the hood because i suppose he's never had a 4banger hold up with him.....but since you can read you already know that

Ok, then good kill

Im sorry, but if it was a real cobra AND he did not screw up launching and shifts, he would have pulled way past you. With your mod list your probably running, what like a low 15 high 14? The 99 or 01 cobra usually run in the low-mid 13s. What made you think it was a cobra?

[RoBoDEATH]

three things made me think it was a cobra
1.) The different looking front bumper
2.) The little cobra on the SIDE of the car
3.) The word COBRA on the back bumper


as a matter of fact looked just like this

Well if it was a cobra, then the things you listed make it a 01 or 03 cobra, thats if it was in the new edge body style. Still have my doubts, its fairly comon for v6 and GT mustangs to add cobra body items to their vehicles.

Why is it that the flaming always starts when people start any thread with a domestic in it. Some ignorant people think that V8s are unbeatable or something. Shit I have beat many V8 mustangs and have been beaten probably just as many times. There are some fast domestics that post on this board and there are just as many imports that would put up a fight. You all should come down south here. Believe it or not most people around here with all kinds of cars are pretty cool with each other. A buddy of mine drives a Camaro SS (I think its a 99) that is built to hell, runs a 100 shot and a sc at 12psi. He runs a 10.65 daily driven, and guess what he hangs out with all us import people although we all know that he would beat the snot out of us. I myself run consistently high 13's low 14's also at 12psi (which really isn't too great but my car is still in need of some work) .

Keep in mind that the Cobra weighs, what, 3700 pounds. That Civic is probably 1000 less than the cobra. With that list of mods it is very much possible for him to hang with him.

Don't EVER count out a four banger with forced induction.

yo maxspeed, i've been thinking about building the internals, i haven't heard alot about hp increases, but i'm really worried about wearing my car out, i drive it about 40 miles everyday to and from work, i think it's got 83000 hard miles on it
