Default Beat a cobra! whoo...

alright alright, Theres not much to my car..Just full boltons, stall,built trans and nittos
His car is a 03 black cobra, Smaller pulley, CAI, cat back, with nittos.
We went from a dig, and I put about 2 on him from the start then I hit second gear and put another car on him, by 90 he was creeping up slowly but in the end I ended up beating him by maybe 1.5 cars or maybe 1 car idk.
.And from a 35 roll, I put about a half car on him till about 70ish and he started coming around me pretty hard but we had to let off because of traffic. All in all it was a fun race, no **** talking or anything... we jus went out there and got it done.

I'm jealous. I still have yet to run a Terminator or GT500. Not a whole lot of them around.

Those cars are mean as **** man.The hole shot is the only way to get them at your level. Cam your car and it will be pretty even running a pullied Snake. Either ways the 03/04 Terminators are the only ones worth pissing on.

Really? Where abouts in West Chester do you hang? I've seen quite a few Cobras hanging around up that way. And every once in awhile I make a few passes through town.

i dont see many of them around northern DE where i live either. everytime i do see one, either they guy has one of his kids in it (im not going to race you if you have small children in the car), or theyre always going the other way

ive wanted to see how my Vette stands up to a stock GT500 for a long time. hell, ive just wanted a race for a long time... ive had the car for over a year now and havent found one race yet!

Good stuff man. My Cobra don't hook worth a ****. Its pretty crazy that my T/A made more power but hooked so much better. Same size tire and I actually have better tires (brand) on the Cobra but in first and second it just waggs its tail. Once it hooks it pulls pretty damn hard though. Its a roll racer until I get some slicks. Anyways congrats on the kill and the death. Its all fun either way right.

No where. I take what I can get when I'm on my way to wherever I'm going. Once it gets a bit nicer out I'll probably start going out a bit. I'm actually closer to Delaware than I am West Chester, but everyone in the area knows WC. I rarely ever go into town.

Take off your sway bar or roll bar whatever the hell they call that thing......lol. Helps weight transfer dramatically and with the IRS it will squat REAL hard. Do you have DR's?
