and 12.8x in a '97 Cobra with just gears & mid-pipe is halarious. I want whatever he's smokin'!

I'm sure he can show Bitemark quite a few things he's doing wrong.

And Matt said with 4.10s and some tires.

Do you know what the term "gears" refers to


And my comment didn't include Bitemark. Should have clarified that, my bad.

So Bitemark can do it but no one else can? Is that what you are saying?

When God leaned over that cloud to touch that LS1 motor, for fear of leaning too far and falling, he used his other hand as a brace and accidently touched my motor. Thats why I'm the only one. Duh. lol.

You got me, I looked over that. What's hard to believe about a 96-98 cobra with 4.10s and tires running high 12s? Hell it should run faster than that imo (as mark has shown) not to mention 4.10s are horrible gears for a bolt on 96-01 cobra at the track.

OK. Enough talk about bolt-on 98 Slobras. I would like to see some races. A rematch would be nice.

The world could end by then. Rematch or both of them are liars and it didn't happen. Both really drive Yugos.

ROFL! That's just a reMARKable comment! Hilarious! The irony is palpable, to say the least. Well Done...

Obviously you knew how to launch/drive that car. I don't think anyone here can argue that. Well actually no one did. lol

Some are talked about as if they were slower, but most like they were quicker. The 96-98 Cobra probably suffersu the worst in the "slower than it used to be" category. Many people just never learned how to race them. For those who did, the LS1 could get a run(though the quickest ones were still quicker) and the LT1 had no better a shot than it did against the LS1, all being factory stock, that is
The '96-98 Cobra was a dead heat race for the LT1 - not LS1! Since when did the SN95 Cobra's run high 12s to bottom 13's @ 107-108 off the showroom floor? They wouldnt come close to that. Heck, the 99/01 Cobras were a couple ticks quicker than the previous model and they werent quite up to par with the LS1 F-body. Mach 1's were very close and we all know a Mach will outperform a 98 Cobra in a straightline bone-stock/mod for mod. Even with 4.10s/4.30s your going to have your hands full with a stock LS1 M6 and a driver who knows what he's doing.

Good luck finding anyone in this section that's packin' enuff for that car. Better hit up the "Single Digit Club".

Heard that! I'm pretty excited about it...and seeing your piece of Soth Kerulonnah rice...or the 5.0, whichever.

Still pissed that I missed meeting F8L last yr. BTW F8L I lost your #, pm me or text me if you have mine.

You should talk WSsick into coming with whatever hunk of **** he gets. We could compile a mini SRK racing video
