very nice kill!

by the way, when at the track sunday, we put pace setter long tubes, borla cat back, off road y-pipe and a lid on a 1999 Z28 auto...

with just nittos the car went 12.56 at 111 mph THAT IS QUICK!!

cant wait to see what it will do with a converter in the car

Thanks. To all people doubting this kill: I was just as shocked as anyone else to win this race. I thought I was gonna lose for sure. Ill give my friend some props because he is still getting used to the M6, and there were 2 people in the Cobra. I told him to pratice at shifting, and Ill race him again. (With more mods on the Camaro of course! )

Yeah I agree with the Matt SS.....very hard for 2 think that a lid/catback A4 could take a new cobra from a roll! Even with 2 people in the vert it would trap higher in the 1/4 so it should pull the A4! But the guy has photos to prove it.

Hot02SS that win should make you fearless for a while!

Enjoy the moment

Good kill man, I cant believe no one has pointed out that the snake was only at 3K RPM's when the SS was already ahead. That snake owner must be quite the driver

The Cobra is a little hard to get used to, give him some time to learn it... If he knew how to drive, you would need a few more things to pull like that... like a cam, long tubes and a good tune. I speak from experience. Good kill though!!!

I think the cobra should win vs the A4 or M6 But My car has beat many more M6's even w/ more mods than have beaten me.....Even from a roll.

If we go between 50-60 they pull on me untill I get to about 70 and I start coming back....As soon as i hit 3rd I pull on them hard..

For all you m6 guys im not saying I cant be beat by u guys.

I'm thinking they were getting ready to race or they just hit it and the SS got a half car jump. Maybe he was in 3rd gear waiting for the hit. Dumbass should've been in 2nd at 50mph.

Maybe he just posted the video captures in reverse! The cobra was really blowing past him like he was standing still. Just kidding dude, nice kill, but go mod before he learns to drive.

this weekend an 04 bonestock coupe pulled on my BONESTCOK 01 TA by about a car and a half from a 45 roll.... i was still surprised .....i just picked the TA up...its SLOW dont get me wrong but not that slow.... so i could see that ss pulling away on a bone stock vert with 2 people in it but i dont think he got very much farther than that picture and who knows maybe the cobra was reeling him in after a nice slow shift. either way nice kill and nice car!

One of my friends stock cobra went 12.8@ 112 and another raced a mach 1 who runs high 12s and took him out of the whole but at the end it was almost even....

Its sad how bad some drivers are. At memphis I watched some cobra's go high 13's lol.....

IM happy you wont tho

lol , your experience is lacking then, cause a ls1 damn sure doesn't need a cam to pull a STOCK 03+ cobra vert with 2 people in it. Much less by themselves.


Good kill, people fail to realize that MOST new vert cobras don't even break out of the 13s stock.

True, true. Im gonna get some LT headers, mabye a new cam, and some nitro. Then we will see how hard I can pull!

Word of advice, get a stall and lts first, then nitrous. Do cam and heads last. You will be running LOW LOW 11s at 120+ with just a 150 shot and the stall on nittos. Ask me how I know?

Maybe your right... I am not real familiar with the verts. Never been interested in verts so I have never checked the numbers on them. I pulled an ls1 with a M6, cam, full exhaust and some other stuff pretty easily and all I had was a K&N. It just seems like a lot of ls1 drivers think there cars are freaks and Cobras are slow...not the case. Some ls1's are really fast and some Cobras are really fast also. Stock for Stock, if an ls1 beats a Cobra... the Cobra driver does not know how to drive.
