went down hard to a Cobra
My buddy and I were driving to pick up some and we figured we do a little run since neither of us would be driving later. He was driving his 04' Convertible Cobra with LT's, new x-pipe, new cat-back (he doesn't have cats), chip, pulley, and intake. I'm sure you all know what ensued. We went from about 15mph, he pulled pretty hard on me and put about 5-6 cars on me and let off at about 90. Fun race, but not even close; I want to race a stock 03-04 and hopefully make it a lot closer. Damn elevation always screws the n/a cars anyhow.
On another note, a cool guy in a 91' 5.0 stang with just 3.73 gears and exhaust wanted to run me for some reason. We went from 5mph and I probably put about 2 buslengths on him by about 85mph. I assumed he probably didn't know too much about LS1s (he looked pretty young). Fun race, but I wish it would've been closer to make it a better kill.

Ive raced a few of the ole snakes. Stock it will be more or less a drivers race, at least in my experiance. Ive been hammered by a few of the modded ones too, but ive a NX wet kit says that wont be happening any more.

MJSLude99 - Nice kill and death. Sounds like it's time for a cam to help turn the tables on your buddy.

I have raced a 03 Longtube header/X-pipe(loud as hell)/pullied/chipped Cobra,both from a 60ish roll and a dead stop.
Now i did not look back to see the gap between us,but i think i had him by 2.5 cars each time..
But.... I have a stalled A4 with a N/X wet kit/Longtubes/ORY/Borla/Nitto's and a real big need for speed.
I have yet to see a M6 car find a ton of traction on the street with the bottle and gears.
