Default 97 cobra

ok my friend is bragging abou having the fastest car around and he lives around teh corner from me.

he has a 1997 cobra with borla X pipe and catback, CAI and 5k in suspension (airbag).

what chances do i have on taking him with good street tires, and the 4.10's him being M5 and me M6?

You will waste him especially from a dig.

thats what id like to hear!

his friend has a 240SX with an SR20 swap that i killed 3 times before back to back, and now he wants to race me too since he got a FMIC. but hes afraid of the cobra heh..

oh, and the cobra is sitting on 275's eagle F1's. if that makes a diff.

stock for stock they are pretty damn equal. If he has the stock 3.27's, you'll eat im up. If he has a gear also, it will be a driver's race.

Anything can happen on the street if that's were youre running. I'd say the cobra should win but it would be close.

Should be a good race, I remember running those back in the day and it was usally dead even with my stock LT1 to their stock Cobras. Bolt on though an Lt1 has a ton more potential to get quicker.

You should probably beat him with a good launch. Should be a good race though.
