A yellow S2000 would be nice, but this one just happens to be silver... oh well. Is there a reason you're typing in all caps?

3rd time... from 40 in 1st gear for me... and I got him by half a car until 140.

WTF??? it definately was supercharged. I know it's a crappy year Cobra... but I was expecting him to rape me. it didn't happen. the first time he got me because I wasn't completely ready.

I was disappointed... i was hoping to lose bad... lol.
All he had was gears. Blown Cobra's put down 450+rwhp

I made that post with the knowledge that a bolt-on '96-'98 Cobra is capable of hanging with an LS1, and a geared/bolt-on Cobra is every bit the equal... if not faster. So if he really did beat a blown Cobra with a stock LS1, that would have to be the absolute shittiest driver ever. That's a ~100-125rwhp difference, and they weigh the same.

Dyno Jet... I really needed some longtubes. The guy that dynoed before me had basically the same mods, and put down 280/312. I was planning on doing longtubes/gears/tune to get somewhere in the 280-290rwhp range, but not anymore. And thank you

Thanks. Gainsville raceway? Damn didn't know you were that close. I'm looking for a trailer and I've always wanted to run on that track.

This is how a bolt-on 96-98 cobra is supposed to be driven/shifted...


1st 11 sec pass..

it wasn't a kill.... lol. he beat me 2 out of 3. the third i had him barely by half a car.

it was supercharged. the whine was obnoxious and sounded great!!!!

i don't overestimate those year cobras.

i've seen what they can do... and it ain't much. we're not talking about the 03/04s.... those 96-98 were cows.

Still mid-high 13s car in the right hands, and can easily put down 425-450rwhp with any sort of decent blower... so for you to be that close to him means he either had the crappiest setup known to man, or he needs to have the car taken from him. It's not an "excuse," it's common sense.

Take a look one post above yours. That light bolt on naturally
aspirated '98 Cobra will *** rape your 13 second cow.
