Default Need a driver mod???

Tonight at our local racetrack i saw the saddest thing ever...it was a brand new comp. orange 2004 cobra. the kid rolls up and drives throught the wet box, he then tries a burn out by just taking off. after this he over shoots the staging lights. Finally he runs constant 16's all night...

someone needs a drive mod!!

everybody's new at some point. I've never even raced at a track yet. And when I do I will probably look like a moron. that's the way it goes.

i have to say that's pretty f'in amazing.
i didn't think cobra's could run that fast.
it must have had intake, pulley, and exhaust.
and more than likely a 50 shot of nawz

you will always see people like that..

i enjoy it because when cars like that first come out and people see it.. they think they are slower then what they ACTUALLY are..

but some people do impress me with their bad *** driving skills like that

I disagree with that. The very first time I ever stepped foot on a race track was with my 2001 WS6 M6. I ran a 13.3 @ 107 mph having never ever been on a track before.

agreed, and that's fine and dandy, but I wasn't concerned with the dude's ET's so much as his "burnout" skills, and getting over the line before the runs. Either way, some got it, and some don't. And I hope when it's my time that I got it!

I love seeing newbies at the track. Once I saw a ******* idot stage off the rear tires. The track people tried to get him to back up but then just let him go. I wonder what he thought of his 60 foot time? lol

When i first went to the track, I was paying close attention to how everyone was staging, so i didnt look like a fool.
I avoided the water "box". and did the same kind of burnout he did. (i acually do that quite a bit =))
just my .02

mimic, you are dynoing pretty damn low for having headers. you should be well over 300rwhp. if your numbers are after all of your mods you need to find the problem.
