00 T/A WS6 Vs. 98 Cobra Ok, I was going to get my pizza I ordered, got up on the highway and a few miles down the road I catch up to a black 98 Cobra 
I had finally came up on one so I reved it up to get a response, and he took the bait. He dropped down and was making his car jump forward. So I dropped to third crusing at 65 and just honked three times and put it down. We went up to 125 and I had AT LEAST 5 car lengths on him 
Slowed back down for more but he wouldn't get anywhere close to me. Damn, it doesn't get any funner than that!!! (Unless it's a faster car 
) Who says 98 cobras can keep up?? I thought it was a nice kill! Loved every second of it!

T56- 2.97 1st gear ratio
T45- 3.37 1st gear ratio.
That was my point.

At the beginning, we are even then the LS1 really wakes up by the 1/8th and by the full 1/4 they have me by about 1 1/2 cars. NOT 5. My Cobra is BONE STOCK. Traps 100-102 consistenly.

Nobody is saying that you are lying. So simma down now. On the street anything can happen. Just saying that from a dig the cobra has more of a chance than from a roll. My car is deadly from a dig for little hp is has.
230rwhp stock huh? lol. Its not a 302 ya know.

exactly my point. But I never mentioned anything about going from a dig to 100. I just stated that I pulled on it hard from 70 to 125. So I don't see the need to argue. Lets start another thread about a T/A vs. a 98 cobra at the strip, then we can all argue about it.
