Well, about 3 ½ years ago I got my cam installed. The car made good power, I had beaten a few cars, and I was feeling pretty good about it. Then I ran into a ported blower/pullied 2004 Cobra. This was the result:

Well, I hadn’t heard from the kid or seen the car since then and I didn’t think much of it. That is until PSM ran into a white 2004 Cobra with the same mods…and the kid happened to remember running a red LS1 Z28 a while back that ran pretty good. Here’s PSM’s experience:

Well, I definitely wanted a rematch with the car now that I have my N2O kit working good. We gave him a ring yesterday and he agreed to come out and line them up. We went from 3rd gear rolls (60-65 mph starts) because he had crap tires and I wanted it to be a fair race.

Here are the results:

In the last race I let off before the top of 4th because there was a car up ahead and I didn’t want to get too close and have the driver freak out. I think it would have stayed right where it was without me pulling more and without him catching me.

Also, there was a passenger in both cars for all three races.

Cliff's Notes for people at work:
-1st race was from 65ish to the top of 4th (125+). I was on a 125 shot. We both hit it and I pulled about 2 cars on the Cobra.

-2nd race was from 60ish to the top of 4th (125+). I was on the 100 shot. He never heard the honks and I got a huge jump and pulled out a couple cars. Not really a good win since it wasn't nearly an even start.

-3rd race from from 60ish to partway through 4th (110+ due to a car up ahead). I was on the 100 shot. We both hit it and I pulled out a 1/2 car early and once we got into 4th the pull stopped and appeared that we were going to hanging there with me a 1/2 car up.

After the first race I changed the jets from the 125 to the 100 because we were trying to make it as good a race as possible.

Very fun races, and the guy was as cool as I remember. I fear that my victory will be short lived, however, as he’s currently finishing up how own N2O install. And the cycle continues…

 

Nice. What do you think both cars trap?

 

It's an 04, not an 03.

 

nice kill

 

Good kill your Z sounds good ripping threw the gears.

 

Not sure on his trap speed, I don't think he's had it to the track yet, but I went 124.3 mph on the 100 shot.

Yeah, I wasn't sure on that. Fixed


Thanks guys!

 

Nice races.....The last race was going to be a very good one. Keep the vids coming.

 

Thanks, man! I agree, the 100 shot makes for some very well matched cars.

 

x2. But I just realized I made a mistake with the video. BOTH cars had passengers on these runs. The way I worded it in the video makes it sound like there is only the cameraman swapping between cars and I don't think your average viewer can tell the difference between a Cobra and a Z28.

In the video I'm posting up with my car, there was only one passenger with the camera that kept swapping between the two (fourth person had to leave).

 

It's ok, you were probably distracted with thoughts of nitrous kits and KB Cobras in your rear view...

 

hmmmm, trying to figure out what highway that is, haha. i would like to come out and play sometime....

 

Damn dude, give us some more info on that blower setup.

 

looks about right. what kind of power do you make with the n2o?

 

What do you mean "highway"? This was on a close track in Mexico where everyone goes

That looks like a badass setup you have there!

Haven't gotten it on the dyno with the N2O yet. The HSW kits are rated at the ground, so I think around 500 on the 100 shot.

 

nice runs i would think on a 100 shot you should still pull him i would assume you guys make similar power you at around 515 and the cobra the same and the camaros lighter. but who cares nice runs with two fast cars

 

Thanks!

The Cobra has some weight reduction so I think the cars are similar weight wise with a slight edge possibly going to me. The power should be close, but I wouldn't be suprised if the Cobra had me beat by a bit on the 100 shot. With the current setup he dynoed 487 on a Mustang dyno, but with the same setup 3 years ago he put down 527 on a different Mustang dyno, so who knows.

 

Nice kill. You definately gave him little to no chance.

 

LOL ScreamingRedZ... well next time your out on that mexico closed track, you should let me know... haha, but i think its time for my car to hibernate for the winter...

 

Thanks guys!

NXPRSS, definitely! I use to put my car away in the winter, but then we kept getting seasons where there wasn't really any snow until like January, so I just keep it on the road all the time (don't drive it in bad weather though). We'll have to get a few people together for a cruise some time. I wouldn't mind getting pulled by a badass blower car!

 

ScreaminRedZ, i put my car away as soon as they sand and salt the roads... where are you from? i live in oxford.. always looking for some cruises!
becareful what you ask for... i did wipe the smile off some middle age mans face driving his precious ferrari 360 spyder, with his smoking hot 25 year-old gold diggin girlfriend... haha... probably one of my greatest kills!
