Default "SuperCharged" Cobra vs. Me

A 96-98 Cobra... don't know the year. We went 3 times... on the highway. He got me by 2 cars the first run. From 75 in 3rd gear to 130...

2nd Time we went from 60 to 120... we were neck and neck. I kept up.

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.

So you have a Trans Am... with flows... and beat a supercharged Cobra from 40-140? Well that's either , or he wasn't supercharged.

There was a Procharged '97 Cobra down at our track last year on drag radials, ran 8.3ish all night long with a decent launch and shifts, not sure what the problem was.

I can believe that all day long. Hell if the OP has a stong running car it's not a doubt in my mind that he could hang with a 97-98 what ever year ( not 03-04 ) cobra from a dig and a roll.

Good kill. Typically base kit vortech would put down 400-420rwhp at 8psi. But anything possible on the street. -Mark

im a big fbody ls1/lt1 fan but like bitemark said 310-315rwhp and 3500lbs vs 380-420rwhp and 3500lbs should be a nobrainer...

Actually, he did. Reading>You

Good kill, shows that anything can happen on the street. Also, I don't find those Cobras to crappy in any way those years, IMO. Maybe you're thinking of a 96-98 GT?

Nice races. He definitely should have romped you if he was supercharged, but maybe he was just a horrible driver.

thank you.finally some1 said it... i just read another post n him n this guy were getting at it because he said the race was "bs" or something..? people like that just annoy me. dont ruin this guys thread by sayin it was a bs race.
from the legendary racer vin diesel "Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning". hahaha

anyway back to the point. good kill overall. try n get a vid next time so you can "prove that you won" to some people...

he is right...99.9% sure that it wasnt supercharged. those years werent unless he did it himself...but everyone else noticed what i noticed....he tends to get pissy when a mustang gets beat. im not saying he always does or people dont bullshit, but someone new to the forum might get a certain biased perspective outta this guy. not dissing you man, im just saying.


good kill though, either way.

I agree every thread i have seen him post in he is calling bs about a mustang being beat. jesus christ himself could bless the race and the outcome and IRUNELEVENS would come right out and say jesus lied. (just for the record im not religious, but if jesus blessed the race outcome i wouldn't doubt him) haha

^I think the point that he was trying to make was that the mustang probably wasn't supercharged like the OP thought. That'd be a 310-320 RWHP car pulling a 400+ rwhp car from a roll.
