Default 94 Cobra Kill!

I have a buddy with a beautiful red 94 Cobra and he has been wanting to run for a while but has had some issues with it? anyways we meet up tonight and we first go from a dig(he's on slicks) and I guess I under estimated the street and thought I could get my car to hook without a burnout but no luck and he whoops me good! we then go from about a 50-60 roll twice with both races being neck & neck until once again not having my car TUNED does my in! no shift on the 2-3 shift so he walks away! anyways looks like I will never see the full pontential of my car until it's TUNED! anyways his Cobra is a 331 stroked,TFS head and intake,customed cammed,full exhaust,3.73 geared and TUNED car so I didn't feel so bad about losing but it still sux! but I will get my revenge after it's TUNED!

Good runs, get that tune. Sounds like you have an A4?

I would have beat him on the HWY runs but without the damn TUNE letting it shift it just wasn't going to happen! now that car makes 335rwhp and 403rwtq so on the slicks it blasted out da hole!
