Beat by a Terminator So, my Buddy and I head out tonight in my car. We go to the local hang out and there was a few cars there. Right before we pulled in a white '03 Cobra had pulled in. I asked him if he wanted to run. At first he declined, he said he wanted to run his slicks. I then told him I was on street tires too, maybe from a roll then? We agreed to go from a roll and headed out the the highway.
We get on the highway and get to about 40ish, which is a dead spot for me. Well, he hits and then I pursued. We stopped at 120 and he had a good 4cars on me. We go again from 45~50 up to 120. He pulled a good 4 cars on me.
The cars:
2003 Cobra Mods: Whipple (unknown boost level), full bolt ons, solid 8.8 rear with 4.56s, dyno tuned. Full suspension, to include tubular K-member and Arms. Was told by the driver the sits around 550rwhp without spray. He didnt spray on the runs he said.
My car: '01 A4 Z28. F14 cam only, with full bolt-ons. 4.10s, 3200 stall, full UMI suspension. Untuned, just modified Predator.
Yea, wow. I knew I was gonna get beat, but wanted to run anyways. I need my bigger stall to get here so it can go in, I need to get some heads and maybe some spray. Well, thats all folks. Oh..I have one of the runs on tape. I'll upload it tommorow.

He would definitely need slicks to launch that thing with that kind of a gear, which is why he probably didn't want to run from a stop and only wanted to run from a roll. Anyways, take it easy guys.

sometimes the news will show coverage of the 1/8mile track down Mexicali. Wow, some low 5sec and everynow then you get a mid 4sec 1/8 car. Alot of guys here will swap out there rear to go run the 1/8 in Mexico and then got the track up in Pheonix. Theres some quick cars around and in Mexico.
mexicans are natural born hot rodders!!!!!!!! from old impalas to f-bodys vettes and trucks its pretty much part of our culture so i guess any ricer that calls anyone here a mullet head doesnt know ****.
