z28ss4me...if your car still traps 106, you won't find a cobra slow enough to give you a race. in stock form they all trap 112+ around here, which would obviously be no match for a 106 trap car.

there are a few cobras around here, but most are 10 second 130+ trap cars..

that's cool though, i have respect for a cool car, regardless of its make

I hate to break it to you my friend, but 11.70's @ 115mph isn't going
to do much at all against even a lightly modded Cobra. I was running
11.2x in the 120's with a pulley, tune, CAI, and a catback...nittos
as well.

Nice loss. Don't sweat it. Just mod up and be ready for round 2.

REspectable death no doubt. He could have been a full bolt on, but who knows.......Cobra's are scary.

Pete - Your car looks sick.....no matter what. Now that I have seen it in person, ain't no doubt it is one bad ****.

ws6togo - You must not run into very many. Or very many that have competitant driver's.

Lol, well we'll use my car for a "test" vehicle if it turns out good you can decide from there. I had to go back down to 17 psi to keep it from pinging, but once I install the meth kit I'll be going back up to 20
