Default Got my first '03 Cobra. Yeah baby!!

I was out with all the guys at a local place we street race at. There was a guy there with an '03 Cobra that everyone said I should race. According to the owner, he said he had a pulley(don't know what size), and an x-pipe.
Anyway, we decided to go from a 40 roll so we could both hook up. We went three times. The first run, I put two cars on him and pulling. The second run, I got him by a fender or so, and the third run, he jumped me a tad and got me by about a headlight. I was starting to pull him out a little on the third run, but he got out of it.
It was so cool to get my first '03 Cobra kill. A lot of people thought he would kill me, but they obviously underestimated the LS1. Thanks for reading.

Nice kill. I love beating those cars. Did you spray him or stay n/a?

I think my car would only run high 12's N/A. Probably mid 12's if I could ever get a good 60ft. I ran a 12.3 @ 114 on the spray on a 2.0 60ft. So, the mph is there to take a cobra from a 40 punch.

nice kill, 03 cobras are dangerous but i think for the money difference ls1 could top them , something like SLP 427 or 382 stroker kit would be quite effective as a snake charmer. i seen the ultra z run a 10.52 on motor at SLP day in orlando on the 29 of march. i keep my eye out for you since we are in the same city.

The first one is the best one. You can only see headlights getting farther away. I'll talk to him about it.

Congrats on the kill <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ; I'd like to see the videos too whenever they're up.
