The first night i took my car out, i ran it to my old phyisical therapist, who also happens to be a family friend... he has a 03 cobra convertable.... its pretty nice.... fast car.... i rode in it... havnt raced him yet. He wa slike "ya, your cars pretty cool.... still about a 100 hp short of hanging with my car..."
He says hes putting down about 420..... but then agian i bet he weighs about 3800-3900 pounds.... and i am putting down about 330-340, and weigh 2900 pounds. I think i am gonna try and get him to run my car this weekend.. if the weather holds out.
No doubt, they are nice cars though....

One of my buddies has an 03 cobra I have run a couple of times. I think he only has a catback & shifter on it. Atleast thats all he tells me, but he already installed all the guages on the A-pillar which I thought was premature. Anyways, I ran him last week from a dig. He launched on me hard cause of his Nittos and I caught up to his back bumper and stayed even with him til 4th gear. But from a roll at about 30 I had him by almost a car length. His excuse was that his clutch was shot.

TA TED, your translation is provided:
I beat a Cobra.
Extended translation:
The other day while leaving work, I spotted a 2003 Cobra. I turned left and lined up even with him on on the road. We were going about 35 so I punched it, but apparently he didn't. I slowed down because I thought he wasn't interested. He flew past me while I was slowing down, so I caught up to him and pulled him by 3 or 4 cars. Ford is disappointing, except for the new Cobras, in my opinion. Does anyone have any race stories with them? I'm too lazy and illiterate to read the other threads posted on this board.
