A few weeks back I was leaving work around 5ish and as I was getting on I-10E bound I noticed a 2002-04 mustang with windows down and sounded like full exhaust, but didn’t really think anything of it. We are both creeping along in traffic and as I slowly pass by he revs it, laughing I rev back. About 2 minutes later he gets up next to me trying to get me to race. But like I said before we are in traffic. There were cars literally 10 feet ahead of us in all lanes. Plus I wasn’t sure I wanted to waste the gas. So I just smiled and ignored. Later down the road I find him in the center lane basically waiting for me. Both lanes are clear for a quick race, basically from a dig 5mph+-. So I look over and give him the go ahead. Let him get about 2-3 lengths on me and I floor it. And pretty much flew by him like he was in reverse. Lol. Good times.
01 Z28, 3.42, full exhaust, SS3600, on sticky tires.

A cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust
It had 170,000 miles on it and ran 8.5 8th mile. It ran good for what it was. Nothing special. I would get killed on the highway by them LS1's but it was normally pretty close from a dig. Never lost to an LT1. But then again, I only raced like 5 or 6 LT1's...

The car itself wasn't too mean. I never lost to another Gt, Mach1, LT1. Beat a few cobras and vettes at the track and on the street from a dig also. I'm not saying it was faster than LS1 because they would walk all over me on the highway. And yes, it did have a rough life when it was driven. But very well taken care of while not on the road. I miss that car a lot. I'll post up pictures one day. Probably not on this site though haha!

I'd try 26". I was on drag radials but still spun a little out of the hole. 8.5 isn't bad at all for a 97 cobra, and you don't really have any mods...
