Default blue t/a vs 03 cobra vs 08 gt500

one of the worse races ive ever had and i won for that matter. went from a 35 roll didnt hear the honks and get left from the jump about two cars. decided to chase caught up by the top of 2nd gear and just started pulling clicked 3rd and my drivers side front runner decides to blow-out putting me at 120 with no left tire talk about tunnel vision. thank god i was able to hold her steady. well got pulled over and was expecting the rim to be shot which was not the case turns out it held air just blew the tread off and it went to silly slaping my fender and front bumper destroying every thing i think im done with street racing for a while now hear the vid you can hear when the tire gives out

mods
gt500 -are pullies cold air and a tune
cobra -pullies cold air, tune ,injectors,and a couple other stuff
blue t/a -408 stroker b/s tune stock fuel and air with lts,and a lid

Good runs man... I've luckily never had a blowout at that speed, but I did discover a nail in my sidewall the morning after I went 142

Nice little video there. Too bad on the tire but you kept her straight and on the road. What kind of numbers are you putting down? I was expecting the GT500 to come in second.

Good kills amd good thing youre ok. GT500's look great and turn into MONSTERS with a blower swaps but Id have to say 03 Cobra personally. Think of the mod money to be saved too.

Ah that warms my heart! LOL I have a buddy that just bought a GT500. He is getting the mods that car has done to his. He is trash talking about how he is going to be faster. He is expecting 650 700 rwhp! LOL

That would be why they have speed ratings on tires.
Good kills. Way to hold it down for the F-bods.
