Default Beat 04 Cobra!!

well i was on my way to taco bell and there was a black cobra at a stop light so i pull up next to them the light is getting ready to turn green and here him rev him engine and i was like the what the **** i dont, so before i have time to turn off traction control he takes off so i punch it, he gets a hell of a head start on me so i am like **** this thing has a loud exhaust. My traction control is shuting me off, buy the time of second i am right next to them after him having like a car on me in first, third hits and i pull a little bit more his headlights are right next to my quater panels, so the road cuts down to 1 lane so i let off and hit the brakes as he goes full pedal ahead of me. good race i thought. i was freakin excited after that cause my lid and catback car just beat a cobra. everybody that was with us was like hell yea dude cause they are all f-body people. Just thought that i would share the news

That doesn't add up... you had passengers, lid/cat-back, TCS was cutting you off, and a bad launch and you beat a S/C Cobra??

Yeah, anything can happen, but when you lose off the line its hard to catch up unless the other guy cant drive or your making a lot more power.

Unit..Is your car lowered? I just got an 03 with 18's and want to lower it a bit. It has 275's and 295's but I dont want any rubbing issues.

Lowered? No...slammed? Yes. It's in the weeds. It looks great IMO, but
it's a little too low. My Nittos are torn to **** because they rub when
I launch or when I pull into my inclined driveway. I'm going to roll the
fenders. I don't have any pics of it with it's current stance.

The Cobra I just picked up has a Bassani Catback and K&N Filter and put down 404 rwhp...Most dyno 350-360 stock from what Ive read, of course some stronger.

Mine put down 386rwhp. That's a little higher than normal.

I agree with you. It's a little odd, but who knows. I've seen stranger
**** happen. The part that is a little iffy is that the Cobra pulled
him out of the hole and he was still able to catch up. I'd buy it 100% if
it were the other way around...he pulls the Cobra out of the hole and the
Cobra couldn't catch up.

404 is higher than normal? Lol, I hope so I actually have about 3-4 dyno sheets it dyno'd at 370 stock I believe.
