wow im not impressed with the ta either i mean those expensive aftermarket blowers make those cars a little bit faster for the money. i pretty sure its safe to say that the ta was sand bagging cuz we all saw the first vid.

well the cobra spun last race and the trans am dead hooked from the first video.

Lastnight the cobra dead hooked and the trans am didnt so Im sure round three is in works.

The guy with the trans am tune his car himself so I honestly doubt it was on the same tune last night but both are stout cars.

Someone needs to learn how to launch a damn car on the street, t/a should have yanked a car off the start he left at idle.

It's not a camaro. Yes it did win the first race cause the cobra didn't have traction and this time it got it and the trans am always rolls out to keep traction this is his first loss so I think he is doing alright launching consider he has cleaned up everyone around here and he might of had a off night who knows but a third match is to come to clarify the faster car.

Props to the cobra for the win. Both are sick cars for sure. I saw the first race, looking forward to round 3. Thanks for the video.

The trans am is a 5.3 with a custom grind cam and that's it the heads are untouched and it's on 15lbs. I highly doubt he had it for sale.
