Default Cobra vs. Camaro

Street night out. Pretty wicked Cobra. If the Camaro woulda been flowin nitrous, it woulda been over! Good sounding video though.

Why not? To win? I've been sprayed on that late in a race.

His converter locked and stopped the Cobra's pull dead? It sounded like his RPMs went up.

So is saying "that's when the convertor locked" the secret way to say you got sprayed?

I like how it locked up just as the Cobra was about to go by him...almost like he had the convertor hooked up to a button....

Sounds like my stalled 02 z when the kit comes on and I'm already in it. Def not the converter. Spraying in high gear like that, beyond stupid.

Easy heat......we know you like to see your boosted 32v v8 beat these na ls motors.


After watching it again he may have sprayed it late. But w/o knowing terms of the race it don't really matter. Besides, 2 rwd cars going from a higher speed roll is

I can see slow rolls once in a while, but 40 and 60+ mph rolls are just ******* gay.

The 2003 Cobra running 14lbs with exhaust,Intake, and pulley. I can't remember what all the Camaro had at the time. It now has a turbo. He use to run 250 shot at the track and I know that the bottom end was beefe up. I think maybe he had LS3 heads & intake, different rods and piston, and a torquer V3 cam. I really don't think he sprayed on this run because his tanks were out of the car. It would def run low 10's on spray. I have a picture of him doing a wheelie off the line with slicks. If he woulda been running spray, he woulda left the Cobra like it was tied to a stump.
