Another '03 Cobra goes down all motor style.....

On the bridge last night was a black '03 Cobra, and there was gointo be money race on the bridge, so alot of cars followed out. Me and th Cobra are the third cars in the line of cars. So the cars infront of us go and me and the "supercharged beast" hit it off from a small first gear roll. We stay even through first and as soon as he snatches seconI began a slow steady pull. When it was all said and done I was out by 3 cars. I didnt have a bottle in the car. So now I dont think my other Cobra kill was fluke, there just slow. I made 335rwhp which puts me around 385 at the crank, 5 less than the Cobra, but the mighty LS1 just out breaths the blower up top.

I saw him last night good kill on the cobra.
How fast is the 360R about the same as a cobra?

Strange, no LS1 has beaten my Cobra on the street yet. Though, my cobra didnt start getting fast till 2,500 miles or so.. Just like my LS1 did.. I wonder what I am dyno'ing these days

A lot of people say that the Cobra's IRS sucks. Did Ford do a poor job designing it? The Vette has as IRS and rarly hear people say it hinders them? I am just asking a question....not flaming anyone.

Good kill!

Uncle Ben knows IRS can work quite well if you have something good to start with.

I am having a hard time believing you are racing competent drivers or you are really using a little squueze because as Zate said the 03's are making 360 at the wheels and every magazine that has tested them has had no problem getting mid 12's out of them. Your car should weigh a little less but not much. Maybe I need to convince Aharon to let me race you at the track one of these days.

I can't speak for the drivers but i definately had no bottle. On Fri after getting my bottle filled, I was tourquing it closed and theend of the nut on the bottle snapped off into the line. It's still there as we speak. I showed everyone and made it public that I would not be spraying.

That's cool.

Sounds like I need to borrow a '03 to see if you can bust off another one.
