Default 99 Cobra....Killed!

Alright guys.......after the loss to the 2003 SVT Cobra.....we managed a nice kill on a 99 Cobra last night. After getting new shoes "18' Falkens" on the Z car.......it ate my buddy's 99 Cobra from a 25mph rollin run by a little more than 2 cars.

Eventhough the 99's ain't much......it was modded with a nice set of headers and a Troyer Perfromance box.

Just gotta go find me another SVT to see how we fare w/ some traction.

I had the same experience as you. I ran into an 03/04 Cobra that spanked me pretty bad, so after the race I was pretty upset, especially since my girlfriend had too see something like that..... About a month or so later, I took out all my hatred on a cute little 98/99 Cobra; I had no sympathy for him! I managed to beat him by one and a half too two lengths as well. Although, even though I bought new rear tires, and installed longtubes, I wont be looking for the 03/04 cobra any time soon.. Your a brave man.....

Come on up to the metro-Detroit area. There's about a hundred '03 Cobras
in my area and they are all pretty well built.
