Cool another Cobra kill!

I hated to do it but a beautiful atlantic blue 98 Cobra rolled up on me wanting to play so at around a 30 punch we both hit it and it was dirty from start til' about 80 or 8-9 car lengths(not sure but it might have been more?) he drives by with eyes wide opened and jaw dropped and all he said was damn! he said he has raced LS1's before and beat some lost some but was never crushed by one until tonight! he said he had full exhaust,4.30 gears,CAI,pulleys and a tune and he had nitrous(but didn't have the bottle in it) he said he didn't even with the bottle he would have been close and when he asked me what I had done I simply replied just exhaust,and a K&N he said no way and swore I was sprayin'! so we pulled over and I showed him the car and he was just in disbelief saying "it's just not possible" LMAO!

I have a few more mods then i claimed but a car like that might break high 12's with his mods but nothing faster without serious weight reduction so the outcome was on par in my eyes!

yea but I should be ashamed of myself for not revealing the whole combo on my car but he didn't even question it so it what he didn't know didn't hurt him although he was very insistent on me sprayin' but could not find the evidence to back he bogus claim!

So what are these "few more mods" that caused you to pull 8 cars on what would otherwise be a car that's fairly equal to you?

You either have heads, cam, nitrous, or some kind of FI to pull 8 carlengths on a car like that. 8 carlengths on a high 12 second car would make your car an easy mid 11's or better. Good kill reguardless!

I didn't think those cobra's are equal to our cars because i drove a 99 with 20K miles on it and it was a complete dog, I was not impressed with it at all.

they are not! now maybe a 03-04 Mach1 with those mods might have been alot closer but not any Cobra 96-01 would do it!
