you need more details. from whats in your sig you dont have 400 horse. and a kb will make more than 500 so unless your car is gutted to the gills with a full drag suspension and crazy gearing i dont beleive you.

The one I raced wasn't no joke. Only the modded C6Z06 I raced that very same day gave me a worse *** beating .

This particular one beat me worse than the procharged C5 I raced awhile back! I personally think they are pretty damned nasty myself.

Good kill for you though!

Hey I'm all about a good kill but let see your title states "Why are KB Cobras so slow" There not if you knew a little more about cars you'd know that. N20 does help even the score. Aah arrogance gotta love it. BTW good kill

There are some nasty one's out there. Of course once you start modding things anything can be nasty.

Well there are several KB blowers, first off. Secondly an 03-04 Cobra with basically ANY of them would make more than 500rwhp. And your car (depending on your shot) would be over 400rwhp, so that's not a good power example. If you're coming up with the general consensus that "KB Cobras are slow," you're not running the right ones
