Default *VIDEO* 87Camaro vs 03Cobra

This is a run between me and a 03 Cobra, the mods on both cars are in the vid. It was a close run and I was on a nitrous tune and had alot of **** in my car, I intended on spraying but my WOT switch didnt wanna cooperate. I think were gonna run again this week and Ill either be on a motor tune or Ill spray. His car is really nice and the guy can drive really good, tell me what yall think.

Cool vids...awesome thirdgen!

But..I have to say. My favorite part of that vid...

You see plenty of race videos, and at the end, they list reasons for not racing again, or reasons why something didnt run right, or etc etc... And you actually took a few seconds to show the loose switch, and evidence of the coolant issue with the stang.

Just liked seeing that. Not that I have any reason not to believe you or anyone else that gives reasons like that...but it was cool to see thats what really happened.

Haha..anyway. Again...cool cars, nice vid!

Nice race. If it didn't sound like the world was coming to an end while it idled, you'd have quite a sleeper on your hands.

Thanks bro, I wasnt planning on using that song but I had it and the intro worked out very well I think. On the bottle it pulls in 5th like it does in 1st

That's one rowdy third gen! I wasn't expecting you to outrun him on motor. Well done.

I wonder how well that intercooler was working. It looks like the coolant in the intercooler resevoir boiled over. No intercooler on a pullied Cobra means serious intake charge HEAT. HEaton + coolant on belts = slow Mustang.

I bet that Cobra was running about as strong as a stocker, which is about how fast I would put your car at. I could be wrong though...

You are wrong, did you see how bad he pulled that 400whp GTO? I could destroy a stock Cobra, he didnt leak coolant till after the race. My car traps 96 in the 1/8th on motor, and his car traps 94. Read my Fquick page and youll see why my car runs good.

96mph is unusually strong for a 355 with 250cfm heads and shorty headers.

What was the deal with the coolant leak? It was the intercooler right? If so either the pump failed or there was a restriction - either way the intercooler probably wasn't working right.
