Question Why are people so scared of Cobra's?

Last night I raced a 197? Brand X truck. I only raced him because he wanted to see what she had. and it wasn't even a good race, it was over before I even got out of second gear. POO ON GM!!
No one else here wants to race a Cobra, unless it's another Cobra. People are kitty cats!

SPRAY AND PRAY!!!

Sounds like you have a pretty fast car there. My father-in-law's car is HELLA FAST!! I could go on forever about it. But I've had more races in that car, and it would run circles around my Cobra. I guess it's just the image of the car, who knows?

'94 Cobra- 3.73 gear, MAC cold air intake, E-303 cam, MAC off road H-pipe, blah blah blah.

Nah, nothing special yet. Still not sure which direction I want to head in yet. I've thought about alot of different ways to go, you now, full on drag, street monster, coner carver, road race(silver state), etc. I'm getting most of my ideas from my father in law, we are thinking about waiting until the motor goes down and replace it with a 351 and make it a Cobra R wannabe. Sound good?

I have a quick question for you guys, and gals(if there are any here), the TPS on my car is off a little, and I've never had to adjust it, where do I start?

You have to turn the screw on your throttle body. You are supposed to disconnect the negative battery first to reset the cpu.

I have no problem racing Cobra's except for the fact that I don't run across to many in my area. The two or three I have run across were driven by old women or men. By the way that is meant as no problem racing them not beating them.

What's really funny is I've had a handful of LS1 and LT1 cars back off from racing me even though the LS1 guys with a good driver and some mods will kill my car. Must be the welds and turndown exhaust!

All the people in your area must have no knowlegde of aftermarket parts.Could be that they know they can't go mid 13's.

Yeah I don't have any problem racing them. There's a guy around here with '97 I think and he thinks he's hot **** . Until I caught him at a light. He didn't know what to think. There's this kid around here that just got a new 2001 camaro SS. Man he thinks that no one can touch him. I still haven't caught him but I really want to. Should be a good race...but I think I can take him.

I haven't raced anyone in a Mustang with my cobra yet, and I know of at least 10-15 Stang bangers out here that'll walk all over me. Yet when we pull up to a light, they just shy away. What kind of poo is that?


HUFF AND PUFF AND WATCH THEM PONIES RUN!!!

My friend has a 95 cobra with an off road H pipe, cold air setup, and all the goodies that come with the Cobra and I beat him with only an H pipe, cpu chip, k&n, and msd coil Plus I had all my trans stuff too. Go figure. He should have killed me but he didnt catch me untill we were hitting 5th gear and the qtr was way over by then.

Hey, I know how your feeling, I dont get any races in my car either. I think people are afraid of the big Saleen window sticker. Instantly "Supercharged" and "351" goes through their heads. But all I got is a N/A 302. My cousin has a 68 Coupe and he gets 10x the races I do.
