I want my gas money for this race. Because you should obliterate him if he is in stock form.

Lmfao

. I will test this theory this weekend.

Yeah I was thinking mid 13s

In other words, "I'm gonna kick that puppy so hard!"

When you line up and you see him purge his N02, you better be on your toes. 2nd yellow, hammer down and don't let up. If he is really running 13.0X's, he's got more than a tune.

Bob Cosby · 09-14-2012, 06:18 AM

A stock 96-98 Cobra that runs mid 13's is VERY rare - especially a heavier convertible like the one pictured in the OP's first post. The vast majority were high 13 to low 14 second cars. A 'tune' would help a little, but not much.

Gears, tires, and exhaust....different story there.

Brutal SS · 09-15-2012, 05:15 AM

So how did it go AdamZ?

I'm interested. I have a friend with a '97. Headers, gears(4.10 I think), and maybe handheld tuner. I would like to convince him to the track..

SSGUNNER · 09-15-2012, 09:46 AM

Has the race occured?

vroomapunk · 09-15-2012, 10:05 AM

Its a vert, so its even heavier than the coupes, that I think you could beat.
I think you got it.

Now the 99s and up can be a different story, im bone stock (paper filter even). I had a 99 cobra keep up with me all the way to 120
