Sounds like a pretty weak Cobra. Even if you trap 111mph at sea level.

Yeah...termi needs a driver mod... was he completely sideways? missed 2 or 3 gears? Nice kill but not exactly what would happen had you ran someone who could drive.

Ok I stand corrected. Maybe he had two bad cops. Or maybe he had a dead cylinder. Otherwise with your mods and tires spinning a healthy Cobra should wax your ***.

Just let me know which site has the better street racing section and I'll check it out. This is by far the best I have ever seen and I am on alot of them. Post the Video I'm sure you'll get more than 4 replies.

i rest my case. I'm half of those replies.

Anyway, i was the one spinning, he had 315s. He didn't miss gears.

And if he should have "waxed my ***" shouldn't he still have pulled a lot even short shifting?

Also, my friend with a catback intake 04 cobra hardtop, ran a 13.4@110 two months earlier at the same track i got a 13.2@108. I don't understand why this is so hard to believe, I have two cars, one heavier stock and one with mods....one would beat me, the other didn't. Cars in Arizona don't run magazine or east coast times.

but whatever maybe all the cobras i know are slow and have retarded drivers, I'll take my lucky wins.

Here's a hint around here...you gotta post a Ford vs. Chevy thread to get to more than one page.
Nice kill, sounds like a strong running car you have there especially for your DA

Don't take it personal man, everyone just seems to think ALL Cobra's, regardless of their driver, run mid 12's trapping 112+ bone stock. Even the 3800lb verts are UNTOUCHABLE by any lowly LSx vehicle

What they fail to understand is in AZ the DA is never much lower than 2500 and about 90% of the time its 90+ degrees outside. Thats not friendly to ANY forced induction car, especially a roots blown car.

Just to give you guys an example, I've seen upper/lower ported blower cobra's on DR's running bottom 12's (11.9-12.1) @ 117-119, in those same conditions I just pointed out.

lmfao, I love these threads. Is it me or is it always the guys with the lid, catback cars talking about beating Cobra's? Then the driver mod **** gets thrown around cause all Cobra drivers are the suck it appears.

Not all Cobra drivers suck. Only the ones that lose to LS-1's with a lid.

I'm going to go talk to a wall and have a more meaningful conversation with it, than i would you.

A race from 30-130/140 is long enough to where if hes right next to me the entire time, a driver mod is pretty much negated. unless hes shifting 1k short ...which didnt seem to be the case. hey look at that our trans are geared the same..yet he has 3.55s to my 3.42s so...yet his redline is higher...so when we shifted near the same time...he was basically wrapping out as much rpm as he could..hmmm.

no kidding...10 grand is more like 700+ rwhp...he must've had a missing arm and leg or something.

Bullshit. I have less than 10 grand in my car and I'm over 650rwhp and closer to 700 and my seven year old nephew could beat a CAI LS1 in my Cobra.

Look dude, whatever reason you won...good kill. I never doubted the kill from the beginning. Cobras are badazz cars and underated at the factory. With the same bolt ons as you he could be in the low 12's, So there is always people who are gonna be, should I say skeptical, shouldn't take away from your kill though.
