Default Cobra got own.T

Was on my way to wrok this morning and i see a yellow '99 or '01 Cobra with a body kit on rolling towards me. We both catch a light, we did not make any eye contact or anyhting so i really thought nothing of it. Light changes green, i ease into the throttle nice and slow, then the cobra hits it. He pulls about 1 car on me. I was like fvck that get back her. I floor the trans am going sideways, nail 2nd gear already i was 1/4 car ahead, rip third gear let off about 70 and he was 3 cars back. He stay4ed back till the next light. His impression Gave me the thumbs. Was a cool guy. He said what do you have done, i said besides exhasut i have a CAM ONLY CAR. he said the fvcker is fast as hell.

Just thought i would share. BTW what does a 99 or 01 cobra put to the rear? He did have exhaust.

but if i remember correctly the 99 models they had intake and exhaust problems, car could not breathe for **** that is why none were produced in 2000.

Good one, they put about 275whp I believe and are a little slower than a stock LS1 car.

What? DO both!

My 4th cam was a TSP 233/239/603/113 and I LOVED it. Then a 100 shot, its like butta.

I have this problem. Ricers will go through hurdles to catch up to me, but never line up once they catch the exhaust note - a quiet, stock LS1 whispering out of a Magnaflow catback.
