Smile Killed a 03 cobra

Went to a local car hangout and set up a race with a 03 terminator that was stock besides a short shifter and some 315s in the back... it was a convertible so i figured i had a decent chance.

see sig for my mods

Race1: 30-130
I honked it off, spun top of first and got a little squirrelly into 2nd...but managed to pull a 1/2 car and keep it that way to the very end, with me possibly pulling at the very end. very exciting race

Race2: 25-130ish
He honked off this time, Spun a lot in first and a lot in 2nd...not fun. ended up with me having a fender on him the entire way.

Guy was very cool and the car was strong. One of the better races I've had in my car yet!

good kill, sounds like you could use a different tire, what kind are you using?

Hell of a KILL, especially while spinning as much. I agree with Slobra, you need something different to reduce the spin. But obviously road and temp conditions play alot in this, as well as if your tires were warm or not.

I have BFG Gforce sport 245's...in my opinion they suck. Straight up. yea it didn't help being 40degrees out on a concrete freeway. We each had passengers and mine was my roomie, the 2nd race he got a little scared when the back end kicked out on the 1st to 2nd shift lol.

He was telling me before we raced how he would beat his friends 2000 ss with exhaust and gears m6, so i was a bit worried....but afterward he said my car was definitely stronger than what he's previously encountered.

Dynotune04 lets do this lol

Nice kills. Cobra needs a driver mod. Even Cobra verts run mid to high twelves stock, and he lost to a 13.2 car?

sorry, i trap 108.6mph at 2700ft DA...thats 111mph at sea level. the guy in the vert could drive, his shifts were quick and we stayed even after the first 50mph flew by. that 13.2 was with a 2.2 60ft...I'll let you figure the rest out.

Nice kill.
