01 SS vs 03 Cobra
Was On my way home on a main cruise spot avenue,and up head I hear the distinct sound of a mustang.I catch up to it at a light.I see it is a 03 cobra with at least exhaust and drag radials.I been wanting to run one to see what all the hype is about them.Well I got next to him older guy about late 40's.I gave a rev he looked over and nodded. we got to a opening in traffic we both got on it at the same time from 25 mph roll was dead even till I missed third he flew by me doh.Well we raced three more times all from a roll nether one of us wanted to from a stop,The next three times I had a slight lead threw 1st 2nd and third I pull away about a car and half.My mods are lid catback kooks headers and 410's.That supercharger screams at full throttle,cool guy pulled over and he showed me the car.

he must of been granny shifting, i raced a guy on this board(Santiago i think is his name here) after running at Sacramento Raceway, he has similar mods, Full exhaust, headers, lid etc. and my 03 Cobra only has a filter. We ran from about 40mph/2nd gear and i pulled on him about half a car if not a bit more. But on the highway we would go from 3rd gear/60mph and he would BARELY pull on me until he would switch to 4th gear i would start to pull back on him since i can run 3rd gear longer and get about 1/2 car, then hit 4th and slowly start to pull some more then we would shut down. So from 3rd gear he would get about a bumpers length then id gain it back once id get into 4th after hangin 3rd out longer. all in all we were about the same, we would shut'em down at about 115-120mph area. Good runs, dont you think Adam? (if you see this post)

Doubt he was granny shifting. I hung right with an 03 which I know was stock, and I'm not the best driver in the world. Good runs man.

The cobra was a 6spd and this guy could drive,The cobra had exhausht and drag radials only.He was I think quite shocked that I was able to pull on him.Like I said we both pulled over after woulds his only excuse was that third gear is slow gear.Thanx for the props guys it was a heart pounding runs.

I beat an 03 cobra, he had intake and full exhaust. but I dont think about it too much because If I would have drove his car I would have destroyed my firehawk. also first gear is where I had the advantage cuz he wasnt getting too much traction..
Nice kill. Give credit where credit is due.

My buddie had a 99 Transam with 410 gears,SLP lid,Zo6 intake, and Mac Mid leaths.
With this set up.He went 12.49
Now he has an 03 Cobra.when it was stock the best he did was around 12.7
So i believe his story. (by the way,great kill)

I am just a lightly modded A4 with a good stall and have taken out a few 03 Cobra's,and some pretty modded ones with me sprayin a bit .
I ran a 03 with only a CAI on the highway(3) times . I sprayed the 1st run,just because this was the 1st 03 i ran into and did not know what to expect. But i put at least 3 car lenghts on him in very short time.
The next 2 races were N/A for me and i still pulled him 1-2 cars from 75-110 mph.
Even pulled off the highway and chatted for a while with the dude and his girlfriend.
I ran a 03 Cobra with Longtubes,full exhaust with more boost . This guy i sprayed and put 3 cars on him out of the hole to 60. Then same car,we went from 65 mph roll and i put 2-3 cars on him again to 110(with me sprayin).
I think the Cobra's are real strong cars ,BUT, it is a driver that can make or break it's performance.
I'm sure my luck will change when i run into UNIT213 . But i'm sure Dan will be gracious about it.
Nice kill man.
