Default 04 Cobra Kill....

My buddy bought a new yellow 04 Cobra today man dose it look sexy it almost make's me want to trade the old Z in on one...
It took me all night to get him to race me we raced twice...
My car is untuned and has stock stall and stock 2:73 gear's as well..

Dead Stop
From a dead stop i pulled him by atleast 5-6 car's it was nasty he was not spining at all it was a good clean street race.....he did not miss any gear's

Roll
From a roll i let him get a head start from a 10 roll and then i took off this time i uncaped my cut out thank's QTP... and i pulled him 2-3car's i was shocked i out ran him from a roll...

Were you spraying? Not to doubt just wondering sounds like you would have to be to pull like that. Give that car a few miles to open up and I'm sure it will put up a little better fight. Nice kill.

Nice kill. I think the Cobra might have something for you with just a pulley mod.

I'm a fan of breaking a car in right, but damn...racing with only 200miles on it? Kind of harsh.

Give your boy some break in time and let him do a few mods then run him again.

Personally, I don't doubt that a cammed LS1 would run a stock Cobra. I think it's a win for you either way. It's just the distance you won by. Sounds like the guy should get used to his car or break it in. They call them "Terminator"s for a reason, those cars are no joke.

Good kill

It'll be a great run from a roll between you two. I think Unit put around 430 horses to the ground with just a K&N filter, pulley, and chip.

Also, I've heard with the powerband of the 03 with the Eaton makes it a bit hard for newbies to drive it to it's full potential... I've never driven one, though. You'd have to ask Unit about that one.

Well, to justify the mod pricing a little bit, the '03 probably cost him a lot more than your LS1 cost you. But yeah, they're pretty sick cars, they can make lots of power pretty easily.
