Default 03 Cobra vs 00 Camaro Z28

Me and a friend had a friendly match. He has an 03 Cobra with a Bassani catback, and my mods are in my sig. We were both on street tires. The Cobra was on KDW's and I was on Hercules tires. Im surprised my car hooked at all. It usually just spins all of first and second on a sunny day..

Here's the video

The race I did not get on film is when BubbaBFP was driving the Cobra. He launched a hell of a lot better then the owner but he also had traction issues. He was like 2 car behind I think. Ill let him tell his side of the story.

Thanks to BubbaBFP and Rastarajah for recording

Ace got a little ahead on his captions as the Cobra missed second.

Those were some good runs last night and I was about to leave too.

Nice kill!

The cobra needs an auto or the driver mod

I raced him again tonight. He was on Mickey Thompson Drag Radials. I was on Hercules tires that are at 35PSI.

The First race he got me by 2 cars.

The second race I spun so he raped me.

The third day I was next to him the whole race. He started creeping me. By the time it was over I was at his door lol.

Cant wait to race him tomorrow on some old Drag Radials that my friend has.

I think most ls1 guys ,who are mostly stock,have little idea what they can do against a close to stock terminator.this vid is good and may give someone a boost and they drive like they stole it.Not too many unmodded cobras around me though,most snakes are easy 425rwhp in AZ.Nice racing man.....

Nice kills. Driving lessons would be a good next mod for the cobra.

Nice cars and nice runs but you both seemed a little slow off the line even for street tires.. Did it just look slow on the video maybe?

You gotta get some long tube headers and a really good tune...and then you'll be able to run with the Cobra's or out run them one.
