took on a Cobra
 
raced a Cobra

There is this guy in Greeley who uad a 1999 black Cobra that I raced last summer. This was when I only had a K&N and flowmasters, so he kicked my ***. I see him once in a while and talk, but haven't run him since I put on the Supercharger.

Today I see him and he waved as he drove by. We stopped next to each other at a stoplight, but there were cars in front of us. We waited f while after the light turned green since no one was behind us and he slowly took off I followed suit waiting for him to go, but he didn't so I gunned it. Then he gunned it and we were dead even through first then I hit second and spun bad, he pulled on me and then he slowly pulled more and more on me. We had to shut down at around 70 because of traffic(he was maybe 5-10 ft ahead).

We stopped at the light again and he says this car pulls a lot harder than his other one. I asked him what year it was and he said 2003. I couldn't believe I didn't notice I was racing a 2003 Cobra. I just assumed it was the 99 and didn't look at it close.

We ran again this time in from second and he slowly pulled away from me again. Nice to run a 2003 Cobra.

Nice runs man. Sounds like your car is running a lot stronger than the 300rwhp in your sig man. Take it easy man.

Nice run,

Your car must be pretty quick,

The 300 rwhp was before I got the Long tubes and off road pipe and they made a big difference.

The guy traded in his 99 for a 2003, I thought I was racing the 99 until he told me it was a different car.

7up - nice run. The long tubes and other misc. exhaust helped quite a bit I'm sure. However, have you considered a heads/cam/intake combo for your Stang? That would make a HUGE difference too. Just a thought.

I have considered heads/cam/intake combo, but I think that is a pretty far away right now. My Mustang is my daily driver and I have other issues to deal with right now. I am having traction problems and my heater core broke which kinda sucks in Colorado during December. We'll see how much money I have after I pay taxes in the spring.

"We'll see how much money I have after I pay taxes in the spring."

You shouldn't have any, and if so notify the Government right away. Having money after taxes is going to be made into a felony by this time next year.
