My 01 camaro ss V.S 99 Cobra with R badge Great DAY What's up fellas Im coming out of south carolina from attending a friends wedding I'm with my fiance headed to georgia to visit family when all of a suddent im cruising at around 75/80 MPH when off the exit comes what I can see is a black mustang. I notice once he gains speed that it has a cobra on the grill and I start to Grin LOL, I was thinking it was a terminator but I noticed it was a older model cobra.
My Fiance is not paying attention and playing on her phone when all of a sudden he gets close and we crusie a little in and out of traffic. I had to all of a sudden get on the throttle a little to go around a couple cars including him. So of course he bites and I see him jump behind me. We line up and slows down and traffic clears to get a good run in. All of a sudden we hit it at the same time and I start to pull but some idiot pulls in front of us. So on the next three runs we did a 50/60 mph run; and his girlfriend counted it of and I pulled about a car and a half to three cars immediately and held him off until about 110/120 and shut it down all four runs were all the same and seemed that I was gaining more as we gained speed and on the last couple runs for sure.
Great guy he followed me off the exit and I got gas. He gave me a lot of respect and I did the same with his car. My fiance and his girlfriend was talking about how scared they were; and how guys will be guys lol. I was happy with the results. I was smiling the whole time i was pulling away lol I had to keep my composure while we were talking to him, He seemed very suprised that my car was a A4 LOL he said all runs were him starting in 3rd gear and he had a 5 speed.
His mods were a intake and muffles he said; I have a SLP intake, bbk long tubes and magnaflow catback, and dyno tune by frost, 323 gears UMI strut tower brace and Subframe connectors. He had a R badge on the back of his car, so I knew it was maybe a performance version of the cobra . I'm about to look up any specs on that model year any help and input would be much appreciated. Does this sound about right from a race perspective. We both have passangers and I had a car full of luggage and gifts. So I might have been a tad bit heavier for sure.

If he had back seats, a radio, and a huge wing, then the R badge stands for "rice." If it was a true cobra R it shouldve been a bit closer race but im sure you still wouldve won.
Nice run though, at least seemed like a cool guy.

Im not going to lie I grinned knowing he wanted to run but was a little nervous because I thought it was a 03 lol I know it would have been a different story all together lol i told him it would have been a little better for me going from a dig.... and I think that I might have needed a couple more mods for even a slightly modded terminator lol

It's always nice to meet up with the person after and have a respectable car conversation instead of having some idiot that can't take a loss and won't look over at you after the race. Good kill!

Hmm, no cobra expert but i found this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mu...a#1995_Cobra_R
1993 Cobra "R"
Each of the 107 produced were offered in Vibrant Red only
???? '94 Mustang as an option, painted gloss black
1995 Cobra R
Only 250 vehicles were built, available only in white with saddle cloth interior
2000 Cobra R
Each of the 300 produced featured a charcoal interior with cloth clad Recaro buckets and sporting a Performance Red exterior.
EDIT: OP good races, IMO they are the only good running mustangs of those years.

A friend of mine has a yellow supercharged Cobra and it's a monster. It's got a high perf cam, smaller S/C pulley, CAI plus headers with no cats. I'm not sure of the year but I'd say its an early 2000 something. It sounds downright nasty and looks good too.
