Playing with the Z's
 
The other day going to work, I was following a black Z-28. He would jump on it and I would jump on it, nothing too serious. Then out of nowhere, another Z joined in on the fun. This one was white, and had some sort of "go fast" sticker on it. Well, we eventually headed out on the interstate. The three of us holding up traffic so we could line up. We were going about 35. I was in second gear ( cause first would have be nothing but smoke) and I took the jump. The black Z stayed with me, however the white one just sortof faded away( like they are supposed to http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif ). Going into forth, I had a good car length, maybe one and a half. I figured that I had won and settled into fifth. The black Z suddenly swerved behind me going into the far right lane, and onto the shoulder then swerved back around me and flashed his hazards. I didn't bother to catch him and see what the heck he was doing, as I didn't want my car hit. You don't think he thought he won, do you?
You would think I won right? Just checking.

I would say so. Gotta watch out those crazy people that start that zipping in an out of traffic. When they start that garbage, they can have it.
I was playing with a 98ish Firebird, up until he passed a honda accord on a double yellow line going up a hill. I just let him go.

Well, hell, what a moron. He didn't wil, but when other cars flash their hazards, that is when they "think" they won.

He's probably on camaroz28.com bragging about smoking a cobra!! Some of these guys are convinced they'll never lose to a cobra so they can't accept it and have to do something dangerous to get ahead. What a loser!

Another race and you did not tell me! Well
maybe I could find the guy and race him,
then he'd be really p.o. because he got beat
by a Cobra with a girl driving.

My car never loses. At least when I am
driving it.

Man Cobras are fast! One here runs 13.4's with gutted cats. You need to mod an LT1 to keep up with that! It comes with cross-drilled brakes too! I don't know why but I have that fixation on cross-drilled. I even have a set on my Civic! Seriously, it's so much safer!

Anyway, Cobras are sweet.

I lined up against a '95 Z-28 LT1 at HRP last Friday. He was heavily modded with heads, gears, exhaust, cam, drag radials and who knows what else. He ran 12.57 to my 14.08. Some of those Lt1's can be damned quick. That's the fastest one I've ever seen.

Dude that Cobra had just a few more things than gutted cats.

I'm glad you said that LK, 'cause I really didn't want to! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif 13.4's are nice, but not out of a stocker.....well, not unless it's a Solara. J/K. Not trying to start a flame job here. (heh heh God that was funny)

What's the lowdown on the car Lizard? All I know is that he replaced the cats with an H pipe. He has a tach and a shift light. What else is done?

TheSloAod 05-25-2001 08:26 AM

it doesnt take much for a cobra to run 13.40s, a girls 99 cobra went 13.60 before the recall and 13.50 after, i'm sure with a couple more trips to the track it will get a better time...
from anyones experience, what does a stock 93 cobra run? the girl with the 99 has a cousin with a 93 cobra that is stock, maybe we should take it to the track... 2 fine cousins with cobras, that is nice

WHITECOBRAGIRL94 05-25-2001 01:14 PM

The newer stock cobra's have faster times
then the older stock ones. A 93 Stock is not
going to run the same time as a 99+. And it
all comes down to the driver. Personally, I
like my Cobra better then a newer one, even
though it is slower than the newer ones.

He11, give me an '01 2V with a Vortech S-Trim pumping out 14 psi, and I'll be satisfied. For now anyway. Later I'll have to have a 351 or better with the same blower. MORE POWER!!!

Later.
