You had 5 people in your car and your racing? Please don't.

Re: i got beat by a 03 cobra.

I'd like to know how you had 5 people in your car in the first place?

Perhaps it was an earlier version of the Cobra, or if it was for sure an '03, then maybe the guy's pulley fell off??

Re: i got beat by a 03 cobra.

he said it was a 03. i don't know he told me that it wasn't superchargered and i didn't hear the wine. that link said that the cobra runs a 13.5-13.6. so why would i get flamed for losing to something that is faster. i think that he had so mods. not sure. i will get a rematch after cam and heads are installed.

b/c if it were a real 03 cobra it would have a blower on it

the link that said the cobras run 13.5-13.6 must be for teh 99-01s
