Default '04 Vette (me) vs stock '04 Cobra

Ran an '04 Cobra last night when I was in my '04 Coupe (Vararam and Corsa). We went from a 50 roll both times.

First run: Did the old 3-honk, both jumped about the same time, I quickly top out second with him pulling about half a fender, slam third and gain the fender back about 300 RPMs into the gear... and I start walking. Ended up about 3 cars ahead at 130.

Second run: Same 3-honk, we hit it at the same time and he pulled a littler more than last time, maybe half a car. I put the car in third and start slowly inching up again, by the time I'm shifting into 4th I'm starting to walk the Cobra pretty good... ended up about 2 cars ahead at 125, and 4 or 5 cars ahead at 150.

These were some pretty fun runs... the guys in the Cobra were cool about it, and looked pretty suprised when I told them I just have an intake and exhaust.

Haha, I'm down. You going to be at that big car meet this coming Friday? Hopefully I will be, and if you're there we might be able to "arrange" something
