Default Cobra got me

Ran my buddys 03 cobra, pulleys, exhaust, apten ported blower, custom tuning, today.

Went from a 60-65 roll, got him by maybe 1/2 car by middle of 4th, and damned if I can't hear that blower noise gettin closer. Get into 5th and he's got me by 1/2 a car.

Fugggin Cobras are no joke.

Was sprayin a 75 dry at him, next time I will go bigger.

Awesome run, thats what makes this hobby fun.

I would not stand a chance with a Cobra with the mods I have.

why do you run from such a high roll? that is where a blower car will pull its best. need to run from a low roll so his boost wont be built up and you'll have time to pull away. atleast thats how i will run one if the guy will ever do it. can u believe he is scared to run me because he thinks i have gas. oh well maybe one day

The cobra uses an Eaton blower that makes full boost very early - way earilier then the ATI and vortech blowers we put on f-bodies. It probably wouldn't have mattered what speed they took off at.

Roots blowers have a ton of tq almost of idle. It may have been worse from a dig.

Nice death.
Good to run for fun, sounds like a nice strong pair of cars goin at it.
I have my sites on a couple real nice looking Cobra's in my area.
1 guy i see every now and then just smiles this little,you can't win ,smile at me .
1 of these times i will be going the right direction and try real hard to remove that little smile . I got a 150 shot just waiting for him. And the other 1 is a guy that comes to the dealership with his car . A plate that reads"ITFLYS",i have never talked to him but everyone tells me he is a really nice guy.
I just want to line up with his car to see who really FLYS .

I just want to see just how far up the MOD list a Cobra goes before i can't keep up anymore. Some of these cars are REAL mean.(Right, Unit 213)

You know it Dave.

If this guy is talking about racing broke7 (guy over at svtperformance.com), then I can see why he lost. He runs 11.2's at 123 or 124mph I believe. I don't recall exactly. He's going to spray as well. There can't be too many modded '03 Cobras in Anchorage Alaska.

I bet the number of Modded 03's in Anchorage, can probably be counted on 1 hand.
Has a good chance of being the 1 you mentioned,Dan. IMHO anyway. 123-124 is killer mph,PRE-spray at that. COOL.
