The Cobra sure is sweet for just being white, which I believe is rare. He also sounds like he's leaving at low rpms, ie no tires/gears to get out of the frickin hole.

Try ~1800lbs., sometimes even less if they cut out enough metal.

Yeah, didnt look like much of a race either way.

Full fiberglass Honda, so much glass that he didnt even have headlights. Vs what looked like a pretty stock Cobra set up for street duty.

Congrats?

It looks like the same cobra that lost to a 99z28 owned by a member on here.he posted a vid of beating it. I believe the cobra makes 480 rwhp w/out the spray.

Cobra looked nice and clean too. I have to agree, street car vs drag car at half the weight not a fair race really.

Bullshit, that's a full race Honda. Only thing missing is the wheelie bar.

The Cobra is a stage 3 port on nitrous on hoosier drag radials. The Honda supposedly has a stock motor that went 10.8x @ 13x. I hear that it is some where between 1500- 1800 lbs with driver. The Honda was supposedly taking off from second gear on the 2nd and 3rd race. This is the first time these two cars ran. This is the first Honda the Cobra has lost to as well. and yes this is the same cobra that was posted earlier losing to a heads and cam z28.
