An 11.5ish motor pass and breaking into the 10s on nitrous was. Im hoping that I can get my car somewhere in there range. I notice they hardly ever have a race come along because there much faster than everyone else with the exception of a few cars that are not regulars. Plus I want to race them at the track. As you can tell from the video they have serious traction issues on the street.
like i said ben i will be happy to run you when i get my car back. i dont have a kb, but hey i can try.

i don't know what you mean by drag car. it will be 100% street legal. it doesn't even have the straight axle in it yet. it has a lot less stuff in it than yours does.

I can find several vids of cars like this racing and usually the LS1 wins unless the KB/Whipple car is on race gas and 21+psi.
I love Cobras, you can check my post history sticking up for them on this site. My cousin recently sold his Whippled Sonic Blue 03 (redfire550hp on SVT performance) and also had a bolton Redfire 03. I just hate when people act like it takes an act from god to beat one when a nice sized cam boltons and a 150rwhp shot which also nets about 200rwtq will get it done. Unless the Cobra runs race gas and 21+ psi as mentioned before.
Twin Screw 03 are by far the best sounding cars in my book though.

No one said it takes god to beat anything, I had a cam'd out Z06 I know what a strong running cam only car can do. It's pure numbers at this point and if they are to be a close race it's going to take the F-bod trapping 130 just like the Cobra.

i LOVE cobra's
I LOVE my Vette too
I got my Vette for a deal or i may have been shopping for a Cobra. There is a guy near me with a '03/'04 in that DSG with maybe a K&N panel in the stock airbox and wants to race my Vette. How do you guys think it will go. I'm a pretty descent driver so that's not as much an issue. I've got intake and B&B Catback. I think it's gonna be a good race
I'm not sure if he wants to race from a dig, roll, or both...

From a roll in a stock weight car it needs more than a 150, or at least it should.
