Nobody cares what you like, If you are around a Cobra you better like to loose. I will walk your car towing a U haul triler full of F-body rear ends, oh sorry S10 reas.

Hey man, do me a good one. Go wiggle that exterior door handle a little. Squeek squeek.. Camaro. Call me when your clutch pedal pops up of the floor. F-in Camaro clutches!!

The LS1 engine couldnt even save the pile of garbage. What pride you must feel rattling around everywhere.

How did I even forget, F-bodies are the only car STILL with a Y-pipe. OMG how retarded are you. One akward pipe going back to that boat muffler! You cant even have tailpipes. Can you say innovation... Thank you 1982!!

Rock on Camaros. I look forward to many more years of slapping you guys around ONCE they are brought back from the DEAD!

Lol you can do yourself one and come shake it yourself, 65k miles and no door handle squeeks or rattles. Also, I checked out your vid.... I love how you shake the steering wheel to make your car look fast. Go FORD!

KB Cobra I raced (about 70 RWHP) ago was a beast. When my car was about 360 RWHP, it was no challenge. Took him from a 5-10 roll, but, only 'cause I'm a A4 with Yank SS3600 TC and good DR's on the rears at the time. Once he hit 2nd gear, that S/C was screaming like a wild bitch. I'm just about ready for the guy now, so, next time it will be a close race.

All jokes aside, you have a pretty good setup. What size shot are you running? Where in Florida are you?

Awww man you got me there, wow your car is faster than mine, geez I should just go kill myself right? Especially since youve probally got twice the money in your car as I do. None of this matters because you are still queer.

Yea, youll still beat plenty of pullied cobras cause most people have no idea what to do with all that power.

Dyno Queens? no, a dyno queen is a car that makes high HP and has NO useable hp under that number.....the stock eaton makes all its HP/TQ around 3,000 RPMS, a KB cobra makes BOTH at 2,500rpms. thats WAY to soon for an inexperinced driver.

however i must say good kill to you my freind, you took out a very good car. I just hope this wasnt at a race spot you frequent and your understanding how lucky you are to have beat him. Because they WILL get one of there buddies with a KB cobra that can drive....and you WILL think you can take him...and maybe you will....but you probally wont. KB cobras are 10 sec cars with 500rwhp....not TEN FLAT, but 10.9-7 at 500rwhp.
