buurn rubber!! thats the way to Git R Duun...haha....
i agree with Unit....drag radials are really a must have unless youve already installed a 12 bolt or a ford 9 inch.......unless you want your stock twig to break into pieces.....i know if i slapped sum slicks on my ride that my rear end would be GOOONE! would be nice to have all that traction, but the drag radials are the shizznizzle......go with nitto, you CANT go wrong with those...they get unbelievable traction under dry AND wet conditions...and at the track....theyre that sticky icky iiickyy!

It's pretty easy to tell the difference by just looking at the hood:

The Z06 was heavily mod'd as the owner claimed it was an 11.50 car (cam, heads, polished, ported, etc. etc.)
Not flaming you - just curious...

"Y2kHawk05 if you are ever in the DFW area look me up I would like to run your car sometime.. "
I will definitely look you up. It's a shame SLP is not doing the customer appreciation road show anymore. I went 2002 & 2003 to Ennis. I did not run my car as there were too many F-body's.
Anyway, Keep in touch.

So what kind of times do your run that you've never lost to a modded Cobra?

Just pick up some drag radials if you want to keep the stock 10bolt rear end. It'll last for a while on those. ET Streets will grenade it sooner than later.

I'm thinking of going with the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials. Heard nothing but good things from people that have them,and some say they like them better than ET streets. What do ya'll think?

Hey nice kill those Mach 1's are good cars to get a run against. I had a encounter with one in Denver. It was night I was driving home and this Mustang flies by me, so I play catch up. Then we cut off a little tricked out CRX and did a 50 or so roll on I started about the same cars back [1/2] and pulled him in by 70-80. Congrats on the kill again!

Unlike all the parts on your Cobra that got pulled-off & replaced at the 1st opportunity due to performance or asthetic reasons,
wheels can easily be taken-off & sold to someone who likes that style.
Can the same be said for your stock air-box or stock mid-pipe?
(I don't think they're the best wheels ever installed on a '99+ Stang myself,
but they're not nearly awful enough to buy new ones simply for looks alone...
