Midnight drive to Walmart turned interesting for once! I work the night shift so on my days off I find it difficult to stay awake. Hence the reason for going to walmart was to get a case of redbull. Last weekend I was at cecil county and filled up the GN with 112 octance :cool: and had plenty of left overs. So, I always keep my eyes out when I go somewhere, and low and behold rollin up beside me at a stop light was an 97 or so model cobra. Sounded healthy enough so I gave it a lil tap to snort at the kid. There was two of them in the car and couldn't have been older than 19 or so. The passenger looks over and I spool it enough to let the drivers side raise up he was like uh oh :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: . So I asked him if he wanted some, the light changes as i'm looking over and I hear his friend say "tell em go" So this dude jumps out by about 2 car lenghts and i'm like damnit you bastard. I lay into it and spin the hell out of these crappy 17 inch kuhmos and as ol shamu finally comes into boost and decides to straightin up hes 3 cars out. About 5 seconds of actually worrying I start reeling him in and start the catch up game, I actually got scared :tongue:. Shamu as yet to let me down in a street race. So as I pass I give him the look out the window at his headlights as am going by. I passed him up pretty good and the ever famous whistle of death wins AGIAN! So, they kids were like hey is that supercharged? I was like nope just a turbocharged V6. :D Both were like :confused:

The Cobras of that era are not fast at all, but good kill on the Stang. :D

Fast is relative. If you're a ricer, then a Cobra would be very fast.
 
Just be glad it was not a 03/04 Cobra with an upgraded pulley and chip. :D
Good kill though!! :biggrin:
 
There's a ton of difference between Cobras of various years. A cobra driver might think the same thing if he encountered a stock GN (i.e. I thought those were supposed to be fast).

Nice kill on the kids in the Cobra, but your signature indicates that there are plenty of Cobras (basically any pullied/tuned 03/04) that are out of your league.

Late model Cobras are like GNs - Many times you can't tell if the guy in the next lane runs 13's or 10's. :biggrin:
 
Yea yea, so what about the 03's but this dude jumped out 2 cars before I even laid into it b/c of the way he said go. If any chiped or pullied cobra gave me a 2 car jump and I was in race tune its not catchin me. Oh and my car has been some 12.2xs in the 1/4
 
Yeah, 12.2 would be enough to take on some lightly modded 03/04 Cobras. Definitely enough to spank a Cobra older than that, as well as my Camaro.
 
i have yet to see an 03/04 cobra around here lay down some good times

nice job shamu
 
Ditto on the 03' 04' cobra they can be tough! I know I have one :eek: Basic bolt ons 490 RWHP 490 Trq. (Safe street tune)
None the less good kill though! ;)

Was the "yea, yea" in your post to make it seem like I was making excuses for the Cobra? :confused: Well I wasn't. Just trying to bring perspective from somebody that owns both.

Based on your 1/8 mile trap speed, I think my Cobra (and many pullied 03/04s)could easily give you 2 cars and track you down.

Then again there are some local GNs that could give me two cars and easily track me down (but they trap 100+ in the 1/8th and run 10s, not 12.2@???).

Again, nice job giving them the 2 car hit and still running them down like dogs. :smile:
