I was on I-10 going home when this nice black on silver 01 cobra pulls up next to me, rides there for a few, then punches it and pulls away. There was a car in front of me so I moved over and caught up to the cobra. He moved into the next lane so I could get up along side him and when we were even, we hit it. We went from ~70mph, and up to 120 I was pulling ahead. All of a sudden he shoots out ahead of me about 3 cars and holds it to 150. He either has a great top end or he sprayed me. But the game is, “RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG” and I lost.

Good death.

I'm sure he was probably spraying you since those things are only about as fast as a stock lt1 and you're far from stock.

I believe the 01 Cobra came with 320hp and I’m sure he wasn’t stock. I guess I’ll have to put my car on the bottle so this doesn’t happen again. Anyone have any suggestions for a good wet kit thats easy to install?

All of the wet kits are equally easy to install. I have heard good things about NX for LT1 cars. If you have the bottle and run into that same cobra again, Im sure the outcome will be WAY different

They're in between an LS1 and LT1.

Dude 150mph on a public road ....

Everyday!!!!!

Well...only on the turnpike late at night....

Out here there are several stretches of I-10 that are pretty empty and there are a lot of long stretches that run straight. So yes, I have had my car up to those speeds a few times.

I LOLed IRL at that one

My guardian angel is Dale Earnhardt and I’m sure he is cruising around up there at mach II so I figure I’m pretty safe.

I have the TNT wet kit for my LT1 and i love the setup they have, no complaints here.

01 Cobra's have the ability to run in the lower 13's stock w/ the right driver. There almost a 1/2 second faster then a LT1 right out of the gate..It sounds like he sprayed you but a Cobra w/ the right gearing,driving and bolt ons can easily run well in the 12's.

Yeah the 01 cobra's are faster stock for stock than an Lt1, and they can be pretty mean when modded,.

No offense, but E.T.'s mean little to nothing when youre talking about a race from a roll. It's all about horsepower at that point. MPH is a better judge of what will happen in a race from a roll. You are right though, the '01 cobra's run a little better than a stock LT1. My buddy has one and has gone 103mph in stock trim. The are a little soft on the bottom, but pull pretty well up top. I ran him at the track a couple times when my car was stock, and I would put a car on him to the 1/8th, and he would make it up and put a car or two on me to the 1/4.

Put a little shot on your car and you won't have to worry. For a guage of what the nitrous will do for you, when my car was stock w/ 100 shot I pulled at 2 1/2 cars on an '03 Cobra from 30 to 110. We talked afterwards and he said he had catback, CAI, overdrive pulley on the blower and a chip. i will say that most of my pull I got from 30- 80. It was pretty even from there, and of course I didn't tell him I was spraying.

The point I was trying to make was that the cobra has a big advantage right out of the gate. "Little better then a Lt1" is a far reach from the truth... Head to head a 01 cobra will kill a LT1 both being stock. A hot cammed LT1 isnt much faster then a 01 Cobra. Most LT4 Cars run in the lower 13's.Ever since the terminator came out no one could careless about any cobra but them. Never seen so many 99/01 cobras for sale in my life.
