Default 2004 cobra vs NSPR8TD

the victim


the winner and my setup



3 runs all from a 1st gear roll.

1st run, we take off, i miss 2nd gear and he pulled out on me, i got it back in and started reeling him back in.
2nd run, we hit it, i spin hard but pull 2 cars in second and held it.
3rd run, i get better traction and pull out in first and kept pulling, got him by a little over 3 cars, this was with a closed cutout running through a stock muffler.

Not at all. I'd be happy to run you on blower alone.

Nice kill. I hate racing on the street because I get **** for traction, but it sounds like you do also.

You'd kill him UNIT.
I've run him (nspr8td lt1) and our setups are dead even....
..or should I say, we had even results on our runs.

well, there are some 03 cobra guys here from Florida this weekend. We have a nice rice set up with them for 600 bucks to 1400 bucks. nothing big just a regular race for a highway bomber. Set speeds for this race is 80 to 200mph. I will try to be there for video, but i will keep you posted. We are having some good weapons coming out to tame these cobras

I'll be sure to steer clear of your PARENTS new GT.

...better not sleep on Detroit. There are some pretty nasty cars 'round these parts too. A lot of them don't run though <cough> Harlan <cough>

harlan and Derty, you got two big dogs. You need a lot more of them to get up there. Hell even our Caddilac EXT's are fast down here in texas. Jon knows what i am talking about Dan. Check out the Houston Moderator thread in the lounge Dan

That's true, you have more. We just have the BEST.

Just remember who makes those cars you're tinkering with.
