Love how OP is relaxing, granny shifting, and walking by the Cavalier effortlessly also.

What's the setup on the Cobra? Car was out!

Surprised the cavilier did as good as it did honestly. Most guys that have caviliers think they have 300hp stock.

Cobra is a 2.3 Whipple on 18lbs... first run which my rookie camera man missed was a lot worse, but i guess the terminator was spinning pretty good. Cobra started in 2nd for the taped run from about a 10-15 mph roll to get traction

This one legit has like 320 wheel hp, i give the guy credit for taking the road less traveled. I guess he said he hang with a pullied 03 cobra and then there was a lot of **** talk online. I give him credit for showing up though. Refused to run me though

So he says he beat boosted v8s, which he could likely do with ease.
And you show up with a twin turbo 6.0 TA and a whipple cobra.

Did his Cav really threaten you that badly?

Hopefully it was a humbling experience for him. You would have ripped him a new *** on spring pressure alone.

Not too bad for the Cavy and like you said props for him showing up to the fight at least. I took the road less traveled years ago when I was in the sport compact frame of mind. I set out to prove a point and ended up with a 500+whp Cavy... the only problem was everything had to be custom, expensive, and a pain in the ***!

The motor was very overbuilt so it was actually pretty reliable once it was done. PT6262 turbo and about 32psi on 110 octane. Fun car but FWD made it nothing but a highway car.
