Good kill. But come on guys... just because you beat somebody in a race doesn't necessarily mean your CAR is faster. It means that you and your car together beat the other person and their car. That's not directed toward the OP, just in general.

Awesome kill. More times than not LS1>NA 4 valve. To the guy that beat a full bolt on 03 Cobra, he must have not know his car cuz a full bolt on 03 can easily put down 470+ rwhp.

Good kill. 99-01's had IRS. So launching is a bit tricky.

Thats what will happen when you put a car with sticky tires against one with street tires at the track. Good kill!
