Default 00 WS6 vs 03 Cobra

My Mods: Boltons, Full exhaust, Tune Best Time so far is a 12.7@110

03 Cobra: Pulley and a Tune was all i could hear him say trying to drive down the highway and hear him at the same time.

well i was on my way to the next university from where i go to school at which is about 45 min. away and nothing but straight highway. I had two people with me and behind me was a car full of hott girls following us there when we passed an 03 cobra with dealer tags, at first i really didnt think much of it but then he pulls up on me and paces me for a little so im thinking it was stock because of the dealer tags but man was i way off.

First Race: 50 roll he let me get the jump, hung right by him for about 2 seconds and then he was off like a bat out of hell and put a strong 5 cars on me

Second Race: 40 roll he stayed at my back bumper and gave me the hit and once again i hear the screaming baby under the hood wake up and yell at me as he passes lol and puts another 4-5 cars on me up to 130

Third race: 20 roll he honks it off im with him through first, still next to him in second and as soon as i hit 3rd he was gone! he put 5 cars on my again up to 140+ and held it.

he was a cool guy, he had 2 passengers and so did I not that it would have made a diffrence for me lol. So he gives me the peace sign and goes on about his way so do I. So the girls in the cobalt ss that were following us to the party and desperitly trying to keep up to see the race finally pull up at the gas station to meet back up with us and the first thing they said was WOW that mustang beat you pretty bad!! i was pride hurt...

Cliff notes: Heading to a party with a car full of hot chicks behind me, tryed to run a pullied 03 cobra, got stomped, everyone saw it, my pride was hurt lol...this race totally changes my plans for the car

That is the best reason to lose. It will give you an excuse and major motivation to build it up bigger and better. Next time you will be ready...

Not bad, man. 4-5 cars from a car that's probably making over 100rwhp more than you could have been worse! Time to throw a cam in it and see if you can keep up. If not, nitrous.

Oh yeah, and I would have told the girls in the Cobalt SS that if they think you got beat that bad, then you'll race them for their shirts.

you running slicks to get that 12.7 in the quarter mile? some 3.73's would be great for you but if you do have slicks with 3.73's your rear will be gone in a hurry.

I would grab a Cobra (everyone should own one once) and then in 2-4yrs when you are sick of it, C6Z's will be in the mid-upper $30K range.

I had the most fun with my KB Cobra
