Cobra needs !bad driver mod So tonight on my way home from work I pull along side a beautiful sonic blue cobra. The two of us were going about 35 so I moved my lips very blatently saying nice car. He smiles and burps the throttle at me a couple times and looks at me questioningly. Not being one to back down, and being one who loves the way cobras sound I give him a burp back. I start the honk and on three floor it. He immediately as I expected starts to pull away, but I swear I could have counted a second every time he shifted. His shifting kept me in the race and at 100mph I had his headlights barely behind the front of my car. We slow back down (45 zone) and he asks what I have done, after telling him I ask him what he had. Apparently his car was completely factory, and he had only been driving it for the past two weeks after buying it used from a friend. I offered him a rematch for next month, figure by then he'll be able to drive that thing away from me.
Yea same here, not many F-Bodies or Cobras in the area but an INSANE amount of rice mobiles with gigantic spoilers and fart cans...must have been awesome racing the cobra, I love the feeling when you know theres someone next to you who is probably a little faster and your heart starts pounding knowing you have to drive your absolute best to win, no better feeling in the world. Nice race though and BTW what mods do you have?

I've raced all kinds of cars from Z06s to modded Supras but the funnest by FAR was against a modded '03 Cobra. Hearing that supercharger scream right by your ears is the shizniot.
It happens too fast though 
The faster your car gets, the quicker the races are over...unless its a close race and you go from a dig to 120+...even then its like a 10 seconds or so deal from the time you both go... Trending Topics

The cars do sound beautifull. That was the second one I've raced, and second I've beaten. However the first one I raced was on my two wheeler and wasnt as much fun. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to mod up the camaro or wait a year and trade for a cobra... lifes a bitch aint it?
btw my mods are a lid and catback. I've got a set of QTP lts w/q-tec y-pipe scheduled for install after I get a pass with the car as she is now. After a pass or two with the LTs I'll have a 35-3800 stall for her.

there's a guy at school whose dad bought him a 04 cobra and he put bassani exhaust on it. the car sounds sweet as hell. anyway he was behind me on the entrance ramp both of us slowed to about 35 (no traffic) three honks. held it to about 95 and had almost 3 cars on him. btw this was before i had headers and ory.

The shifter in the Cobra's SUCKS! I can believe a new driver would shift slow with the cluuunk---cluuuuunk of those shifters. I think I twisted mine cause I can hardly get into 5th from 6th anymore but 4th to 5th is fine.
