Default Xtreme Horsepower's Blue 03-04 Cobra...?

Who was driving it on Wednesday evening in Keller on FM 1709?

I'm pretty sure all hell/traction broke loose when we went into boost (damn cold weather). Oh well...wasn't much room in front of us anyways. Still fun though...

Stir the pot sir. But thats why Im curious, ls1s need disadvantages to lose. It would be a no brainer if the snail was in its shell where it belongs.

We started in 2nd...he beeped it off. I jumped the gun a smidge and like I said, we got into our power band and just smoked them down. We both let off cuz traffic was heavy. I imagine he would have beat me just by looking at the external fuel pump wiring on the car and the freaking huge tires, but we didn't really get a good go at it.

Hey pdan, what do you have done to your car? Do you want to run them? I raced that cobra and beat him. We are supposed to have a rematch but nobody has called me and I have sent my num to several peps that know him. I did talk to one guy and he is supposed to set something up.

He had pretty large DRs in the back and I'm on street radials...soon as I went full boost, the tires spun and then slightly hooked as I went towards redline. Same thing happened to him...he spun to and by the time we let off, I'd say we were dead even. It really wasn't a good test of who was faster. Honestly, I was surprised he even beeped it off cuz of the lack of room in front of us.

If Nick beat him though, I'm sure I could win because Nick's car is a turd.

Man ... Lets just say IF you had beaten it then that would have proved it is slow...

Most drag strips require it (at a certain speed, certain tire, etc...), but very often do they pitch a fit about it.
