If it was a KB cobra he should be making around 600RWHP, not 500. 600RWHP on street tires equals death pretty much from whatever speed you went from. Good kill, but I think you got one that was either wounded or didn't know how to drive.

but any ways was it from a dig? If it was i can understand. I beat a 500+rwhp cobra from a dig, pulled 3-4 cars on him. we raced through about an 1/8 mile. And my car is just a cam only stalled car that only makes ~350rwhp.

Hey, you know what, I beat a KB Cobra yesterday by two bus lengths. I didn't want to say anything because I knew none of you guys would believe. Thanks, Nick, for giving me the courage.
