Default KB 03 COBRA vs 14 GT500
Been a while, figured Id drop this off here.... lol


Went to a couple of car meets with a buddy and some of his friends. Did a couple of runs against his new KB 03.


We did a 20 roll (neither of us had traction)... Then did a 50 roll.

He is still getting used to the car.

My 14' is basically stock, sans the new air filter.

His is a 2.8 KB with supporting mods:

Looks like he completely missed a gear on the 2nd run lol. How do you think you guys would compare on a good clean run?

He definitely could have used driver mod, no doubt.... he didnt miss any gears, just granny shifted it...

On a run with equally experienced drivers, races would be close but I am comfident that I'd still come out on top.

I think you woulda had him covered on even a clean run.

Good run!

Nah, car runs just fine... 03 cobra owner just didn't do his car justice. He is a little rusty when it comes to racing...

Cobra guy def forgot where the gas pedal was half way through second run. Needs driver mod and diet.

Arent GT500's supposed to be slow?

Kind of disappointed with the KB Cobra. I would have liked to see how both cars did with good drivers in both. Cobra driver could use some seat time.
Real clean cars though!

Dont believe the hype. KBs work just fine.

I need driver mod and could use a diet too.

Extremely slow, especially the 14's.

Yeap. Me too.

But in all fairness, owner just needs some seat time in his new toy and he will be doing his car justice in no time.

No passes yet... maybe soon, but I am not stock anymore, since I changed my air filter element.
