Default vs. 97 Cobra

My sister just started dating this guy that has a 97 Cobra, sweet ride too, done a lot of work to it, dont know specifics. Anyway, he's been talkin it up for a while so we took em out one night. First time, dropped it about 2600 and spun way too much, more than I'd like anyway. He pulled about a half-length away but once I caught some traction it was over. Still only ended up beatin him about a car length. Second time, dropped about an even 2000 and got better grip off the line...no contest from the start this time. Pulled ahead off the line and got him by about 2 lengths. He hasn't said anything since. Hard to find decent racers around here besides Eclipse's that think a body kit makes them invincible.

New to the LS1Tech scene but been at it for a while, plannin to stick around.
