Default 03 Cobra

Man guys I can't believe it. I smoked a cobra. Car is pretty much stock with some tuning and bolt ons oh and a 100 dry shot from Nitrous Dave.

I was cruising down the 4 lane @ 65 and in the mirror I notice some stang headlights. The car gets beside me and I immediately notice the hood. I crack the window and can hear the blower whine. Feeling frisky I arm the nitrous, tap the purge and then open the cutout. Easing up beside my prey I tap the horn. The driver rolls down his window and says on three. I hear him down shift and we slow to 60. He proceeds with the honks and I punch exactly when he does. My car down shifts to second the nitrous hits and I am off to the races. After a fairly bad whoopin 4+ to 130 I think to myself he should have been more modded............................................ ..............................

You heard the blower whine while he wasn't making any boost?

Maybe it had a aftermarket charger on it like a ATI, they are very loud even at idle. My friend has one on his 98 cobra.

I highly doubt he had a procharger on a '03 Cobra.

A '98 is completely different.

I was participating in nitro dave's promo and it was a "fantasy race" that I made up.......But I have heard blower whine at freeway speed when being passed but probably not when they weren't makin boost.

I figured a bunch of guys that don't check the nitrous colum much might wanna know about it.

You edited out where i said "at least that is what COULD happen when I win a nitrous kit from nitrous dave"

I guess you could say I was breaking the ls1 law here. Its a fantasy story.

I knew something was weird about this story. Didn't feel like the same style as your other write ups.

You have a '03 Cobra Bob. Ever hear the blower whine at 2,000rpm?
I sure as hell haven't.

Why post stupid **** like this? Granted I think 93% of the Mustang kills on this board are made up also but still...atleast those guys don't admit it.

Mustangs do get beat on average 93% of the time, the other 7% the LS1 blew the rearend allowing the Mustang to win.

You got that backwards... Mustangs win 93% of the time and the other 7% the LS1/LT1 is racing while the Mustang is parked in a parking lot along side the road.

Mustang owners like to get blown. We got off the bottle when we were little boy's. I guess LS1 owners are just a bunch of little boys with bowties that mommy makes them wear?
