Stepped on a Snake Well, I am not that creative soo...here it is:
75-11X I put 1 car on the 99-01 Cobra. Slow crawl, I just threw it in 4th and wound it out. At around 5300rpm I started pulling. Ended up about 3/4-1 car ahead
My 5.0 isnt as bad as I thought

No your 5.0 isn't that bad then. My best friend has a 99 Cobra and it's faster than hell. Course it's not stock, but either way not too shabby for a 5.0. Is it a fox body or 94-95?

What's the setup on the 5.0? A '99-01 Cobra is ~265rwhp stock, but they weigh about 3500lbs, and still have 3.27 gears, so they aren't much special without some longtubes and gears. Good run though

My car is way faster than mid 14's. It ran that with a bogging carb that cut out on each shift and then spun the tires. It was horrid. The best 60' was a 2.15. Couple that with cutting out and spinning on each shift and 14.4 aint all that bad. I have seen LS1's do worse.
Realistically, on a tire, I think it is a mid 13 second car. The point is, his poor snake got crushed.

Either way if its still the the same 5.0 running the same then I have my doubts. As they used to claim to beating Ls1's easy in it, meaning pulling hard on a C5 Corvette,while saying it was running great, then going to the track and only running mid 14's @ 98mph and coming out with the ricer excuses that the carb wasn't right or the track needed to be moved 2" to the left or something.

Damn!
I dont know man, but that's pretty funny his fox body would be a good race for my 305 camaro considering it falls on its face in the 60ft and dosnt start running till after with a 2.18 and 2.2 sixty foot and then cuts on and runs 9.00's in the 8th @79-80mph.

I think trapping less than 99mph or not, whether the ET should be better or not, a good-running Cobra *should* still pull. Not get pulled on. But it's said all the time... anything can happen on the streets.

Anything can happen on the street. The track shows how fast your car is. Racing on the street is a combination of many different things. The guy could have been in the wrong gear, late start, slipping clutch, running on 7 cylinders, the list goes on. Everyone keep in mind that a slow crawl of 1 car to around 110 is definitely a margin of error for equally matched cars. Had BLKWS.6 reacted a hair later he would be posting about losing by 1 car. Nice kill regardless.
