I'd say a stroker LS1 with a 100-200 shot should be enough. Just hope that Cobra doesn't have the bottle

Race a pro tree and put some ET drags on your car. Come out hard on the 100-150 and make him have to drive around you to beat you. More pressure on him if he starts out looking at your bumper. -Mark

yes unit we all know u have one. see cobra drivers are one of the cockiest guys around. most of them suck behind the wheel of ONE very capable car. there are some good drivers too that are very modest ( must be chevy guys deep down inside ) i can recall at least 4 cobras that have had mods including pulleys that suck from a launch and miss gears 1,2,3, and somtimes 4.

but seriously a car doesnt mean squat without the RIGHT driver behind the wheel. a good driver can make up the hp difference.

I agree. But, to be truthful, your post was cocky.

You mean like all the driving "skill" it takes to pilot a stab-and-steer A4 car?
Sit down.

Haha believe me Ive seen my fair share of cocky GTO owners. Matter of fact I had one that pissed me off one day, it had rained earlier in the day so I couldnt get traction at all, and I was out cruising around and he kept trying to get me to race. I dropped it down to 2nd and went sideways so I was like ok screw it I cant run. Well all night he was next to me reving and taking off like a ricer. He was acting all cocky and smiling like he was fast or something. Well I seen him a few weeks later (when the roads were dry) and he was messing with an S2K So i pulled up and he looked over and laughed, so i dropped it down to second and let him hit it, well needless to say I raped his *** pretty good, then my wife who was behind me in the Z06 did the same to him. I havent seen him out since then
