Default I got me a Snake!

Ok so not to bash, before i picked up my formula i was supposed to go look at an 04 cobra, anyhow didnt pan out and i own an ls1, Cammed full bolt ons, dynoed385/375 mustang dyno

So i am taking my brother to get is first tattoo, and going down 294s, in illinois, cruising in the left lane at about 80 in 6th, when a very nice looking silver 03-04 Cobra has the peddle to the metal and flys by me. I got some Disturbed playing Down With The Sickness!!! anyow i catch up and give him a nice rev so he knows im not here play dolls.....The Race

First run we 3 honk from 60, with the new cam 2nd gear is an option, were off i hook awesome with my bfg drags, looked as though he did aswell, i jump about half a car , slam third stays the same, as i go into fourth i extend to about a car length, 5th stays about the same , shut down at about 150

Last race we tried as hard as we could for a dig.. ended up going from about a 15-20 roll, on the interstate!!!! Were off i hook awesome again, he spins alittle, i jump out about a car, 2gear no noticeable gain, third gear half a car, shut down right into the middle of 4th with me about 2.5 cars.

First Snake Kill and i couldnt be happier, sadly my bird is going away for the winter! What does everyone think

I think of a Viper when someone says snake kill personally. Sounds like he may have had a few mods done. Sounds like a fun race though, good kill.

When did this race occur? Just curious since it's 21 degrees here in Chicago now and
it was rainy / snowy the past few days.

Good race and nice kill.

Yes I do, and if you want to bring your ls1 up here and race at Summit point you will see nothing but it's tails lights, if you can stay close enough.

the race occured yesterday, yes it was cold, gps said 35 degrees

lol, jealous of a ford? Like a lot of people said it took ford 8years to get where GM was back in 98, lol and in case you forgot MUSTANG = Must Use Supercharger Against NA GM, hahahah and for the price tag ud just assume buy and fbod, use the extra coin on mods and tear apart your cobra.
I wasnt going to bash, i actually like the cobra, but had to defend myself, and so you cobra or mustang guys know, excuses are like ******** everyones got one and they all stink. Hail the almighty LS1
