Found my first cobra Hey guys, around my city (in canada) its rare to find 400 + hp cars, so when I do I make sure to get a run in 
Today I was fortunate enough to get a run in with a newer 2.8 KB cobra. I'm like a kid on christmas day when I see another nice car around here lol. So we hopped on the highway and waited for a straightaway. GF was with me and hadn't been in the car with me yet during a race, so I was stoked (she's only seen the videos). Started from 50, and threw it in second and quickly got the hook. We both hit third and spun a little, and he spun again when he hit fourth. I was staying even most way through third, but then he started putting cars on me in 4th easily (regardless of spinning a bit). Pulled over and talked for a bit, anyway turns out his car is putting down 630 rwhp and yesterday he was running 11.1's trapping 130 on street tires
His car was sick, I think he'd put me away no problem with the right conditions (cold day, foggy).
Wanted to see if he'd come out again this week so I could at least film the noble death, but his car is sold on tuesday
Anyway, had a blast, really cool guy. Glad I at least held up for a short while
My car: 99 ws6, cam, ls6 in intake, ptb, lid, cat back, headers.

Just for everyones info....there is only 1 PLACE IN CANADA [WHICH IS LARGER THAN THE U.S.] that they say A-BOOT......that is the Island of NEWFOUNDLAND,the most Eastern part of Canada. And there are only 20-25 thousand of them. Just informing those who don't know, and probably couldn't find their state on an unmarked map. ...................PS--I do not know if there is a NEWFIE Lurking A-Boot or not.......

I have friends in Windsor that say it like it's their job. Mostly when they go on holiday though.

Yep it was a termi, he picked it up out in California. Was in some mustang magazine before he bought it. There wasn't a spot of dirt in the engine bay, very clean car!
