Guy a knew from back in high school recently traded in his Navigator and got a white '99 Cobra. Nice car overall. He's a pretty cocky guy and he tends to drive around like he owns the road, so I was really looking forward to this potential matchup... and it just so happened on my way to work this morning.

Pulled up next to him at a light behind some traffic. Complimented him on the ride, he actually admitted he would have trouble with my SS. His only mod was a catback, sounded nice. So he gets out in front of traffic, and I make my way up along side with nothing but clear road ahead of us. This is the exact moment why we own the cars that we do.

I drop down into 2nd and we hit it from a 50 punch; I run out 2nd and through 3rd I'm ahead by 2 cars, still pulling decently when I let out at 95 for upcoming cars. Gave me the thumbs up and I returned the favor. I was pretty fired up, first Cobra kill for me. Now I gotta get some real mods to go play with the big boy.

I've really enjoyed the last 6 months since joining the darkside.

 

Does his Cobra have "the fix"?

 

That's a damn good question !


For what they are ( 4.6 liters ) those Cobra/Mach motors run really, really well !

And, they sound so bad azz !!

Good kill, though - and , glad to hear that he was not a sore loser !

nice kill!

 

The run really well, easily capable of mid 13's stock driven right, react to mods well , especially gears...Good Kill

 

good race, most SS will beat cobra untill the 03 came out! Well stock for stock SS will lose to the 03, and thats because Camaro didnt come out with a 03 :/

 

Don't know if he definately had the recall done, but I wouldn't doubt it. At this point a majority have. Car ran pretty strong, I heard back before the '99s were fixed, they were slower than the GTs. I did get a slight jump which helped my cause as well, I'm sure it would have been closer from a dig.

Thanks for the compliments.
