There is a black guy with a blue '03 Cobra named Andre that I raced at HRP last year (it was a Strictly car). At that time he was running something like 11.50's. It would be pretty safe to assume that he's probably quicker now.

those guys seem a little on the cocky side, probably just your average 600rwhp KB 03/04 cobra...

Hey what did the cop say he pulled you over for? I was wondering what happened. Never saw you again I had some trans trouble last night and had to take the car home. When I came back I asked but no one knew. I thought he was comming after me.

I think I have seen the guy with the 03 blue cobra (black guy). He had just bought it and rolled out with his girl. Ended up losing to some impala. I am guessing it was stock then.

I was there that night too. That was Mike Whitehouse that beat him in his land barge, "Impy". To say that Andre in the '03 Cobra was surprised is an understatement.

Yeah I didn't have a front plate either LOL! Sorry to hear that! Yeah I pulled him a little I was almost empty and when it got to about 5500 (Sucked the tank dry) it just nosed over and I don't think it would have been pretty for him if I hadn't run out of fuel LOL! He was cool. I also blewout my rear seal on my trany so I had to take her home for a new seal and fluid made a mess all under my car. Got to pay to play. Well catch you next time.
