Cobra ran close at first....................

Driving to work the other day and was stopped at the light at the edge of town putting a CD in and this solid black 00-02 Cobra rolled up. I think he thought my car was intimidated when he revved it. I revved mine a little jerking the car side to side a bit. Right as the light turned green and I eased into it and this guy starts barking 'em, so I was like okay it's on. I stomped on it and got ridculous tire spin, got up right beside him just pacing him, this dude looks over and waves a bye bye motion with his hand and I keep right there with him. We're at around 90ish and this dude seems a little worried looking back and forth at me and then ahead. I was like enough of this dude, we were going too fast and he was riding the center line coming extremely close to swapping paint so I honked, waved bye bye and floored it. About then we were doing 100 -105 or so and I absolutely raped this dude, he got left real quick! He definetly wasn't supercharged because I raced a '04 Cobra once and it was closer than this. I guessing them Cobra dudes don't like it when us Camaro guys supercharge our ls1's!!

Actually sad but true a few simple mods to the blown 03/04 snake will run head to head or beat the blown LS1. Colletti defenately left in style.

Ran a blown '04 Cobra at the track in Memphis this past summer, he ran a 12.4 to my 11.9 and he had all the goodies. Actually his car sounded better than mine. I love the way they sound!

The guy couldnt run for ****?...so Im sure you knew all the details on his run huh...weather,temp., elevation, etc. Evan Smith(w/ his doctored up track at Englishtown) and a few others ran a 12.4 ,the average good driver in decent weather run 12.6-7's...Your the last person to be talkin about someones driving ability.

MMFFs mag. Evan Smith was the driver. This is not the norm, rather a record.
