It's gotta be a bad driver. Unless that LS1 is a freak car. I think there's more to the story than what there saying.

also in the ffirstthree runs where he got killed, i could not hear his turbo at all. the rest where he won it was clearly there. seemed like he let off a couple of times too while you were still racing, also in the last one in front of the 18 wheeler. nice tho.

I agree too, it looked like the semi was catching up with the cobra in that race.

That has to be the dumbest driver ever. Did you all notice the few times that the cobra did pass the LS1 the video stopped.

yes.. ive run even with them or slightly edged one out with mods before stall and headers, but damn, not by no 5 + cars.. and i was running 12.80 at the time and they were stock. if that was a older cobra non sc car or a gt/mach1 or something i might buy it...

the second set of races looked real though and about right id think depending on the ls1 guys boltons and race wieght! but i know a predator didn't make up 5 car lengths lol

Also sounds like the cobra is starting at around 3 grand from the roll races

yea im all in favor of ls1's pulling 03s or an 04 in this case.. just some of those runs looked more accurate.. and some looked like a v6 mustang vs a ls1...

i think it was a set up look at the 2nd to last run look more like what would really happen im all for the F-bodys over the slowbras but lets face it they are a lil quicker than us..... take it to the track and throw on some slicks and see how they do......

Looks like the Cobra gave up after the LS1 got the jump. But regardless, a slightly modded LS1 should hang with a stock Cobra no problem. All it took for my car was minor intake stuff, lt's, and LM.

Newer cobras can be fast, but they're nothing special over an LS1 IMO.

The guy in the Cobra is definitely the worst driver ever. Period.

Just like said...Minimal Bolt on LS1's can still hang with em...I've pulled quite a few stock or close to stock ones (intake, intake and exhaust) ones from a dig and roll...I have 4.10, Loudmouth, Air Lid.

the predator/cai have nothing to do with the races IMO, maybe by the time installed those parts, he learned to drive it better.
