96' Mistic Cobra with bad driver/ I think I can take him.

Dark_5.0 · 10-02-2001, 07:05 PM

I am running a 14.79 @93mph (@3000ft) and I am consistent as hell and get good reaction times.

This guy has never been to the track and has a big mouth. His car is stock other than a chip that he claims added 30HP.

I have rode in this guys car and it feels fast after he stops spinning he does not launch for sh!t he just dumps the clutch spins like hell and calls that racing he gets beat by stock LT1's on the street.

I know damn good and well that his car is faster than a 14.79@93mph but he just cant drive.

I think that the way he drives that his 1/8th mile would be about a 9.8 so I think that I could take him. He is one of those guys that is always talking trash and has no skill at all. He tells me he would beat me by 5 car lengths in the 1/4 and that is B.S. at least it is with him driving.

Anyways I think I want some!

I say go for it, and drive the **** outta your car. He can run low 14's but only if he can drive. The 1/8th is to your advantage also as he will hare more topend charge than you.

Run him and find out.

If he can drive like Skyman or me, he'll be in the low 11's with that car though.

Good luck. If you do take him off the line, I'm wondering if you're making enough HP to hold off his top-end charge....

go for it, then after you beat him ask him where that 30hp from the chip went to

i've seen both ends of teh sprectrum, i beat a supercharged 97cobra when mine was an auto running low 14s (REALLY bad driver) and a co-worker has a 96 BONE stock (even tires) ran a 13.6 on a crappy track
the driver is EVERYTHING in a manual car, i think you can take him, good luck
