I would really like to run your car. I get the feeling there is more going on with your car than you are letting on. Was your friend starting a gear higher than you. I don't see how you could possibly pull that much on him. I know anything can happen on the street but that is hard to believe.

Great video Nice runs Mutilator, but I do find it hard to believe you could pull that Snake with just a lid, free mod and Nittos. I have beaten full bolt on 02 LS1s in my Vette at the strip and I can't pull on a stock Cobra like that.

Congrats on the kill nonetheless

It looks staged to me. It might be just me but I dont know. First you KILL him when he is stock. Then he basically is right beside you with 2 mods? Looks like the dude in the Cobra wasnt racing when he was stock. If you look closely when he shifts it is REALLY slow and the car doesnt jerk up like a Cobra should when its punching it.

hey-go to that driver side front fender, get down on the ground next to the car, and beat on the bolts for the front fender to move it back flush with the door.Then make sure the guys at Discount tire dont **** it up again lol.

Seriously-im real curious as to why i couldnt hear the slightest bit of blower in the first few races, then suddenly after a CAI and a tune-you couldnt even hear YOUR car over the blower it was so loud?

Like Mrs. SJRTX said, get a 2x4 and a rubber mallet and take care of that little fender tab. It is costing you about .01 seconds in the quarter, and LOOKS LIKE ****

I'm having a hard time believing your car as well, especially since I have one damn near just like it. GM gave me a slow one though, and while I've never raced a 03/04 Cobra, I know it wouldn't do that to it. Lucky bastard...

The CAI does make the blower louder. I understand what you are getting at though. I put a CAI on my car and the blower got somewhat louder. Not deafening by any means.

Good video.
A stock 03/04 Cobra can run 12.9's in the 1/4th... What does your SS run?
Nice cars by the way!

Well that was just retarded... Did the cobra launch in second gear or something? Also if you watch the last race before the cobra got its two "miracle mods" the cobra didnt get any farther away from the traffic behind it while the camaro took off... nice try but i dont buy it.

Dude you got it all wrong. That dump truck behind the Cobra was spraying a 200 shot of naws. That's why it was keeping up, which in turn, created an illusion.
