Default 1-1 in a 04 Cobra

i was riding in my friends cobra earlier tonight thru the local hot spot and what a massive turn out it was tonite.ill be the first to tell you that my friends cobra is nothing to sneeze at.its been built and blown and beaten a couple of bikes and 2 vipers.we were hanging out at the gas station and i was doing wheelies in my wheel chair when this guy comes up to me and wants to know if i wanna race my car against his silver lancer evo. i told him that the cobra isnt mine but my friends.the guy and his chuckling buddy didnt believe me (even tho i was in a wheel chair).import guys, go figure! my friend comes outta the gas station with a snickers ice cream bar in hand and comes up on us.the guy asks my friend if he wants to run his z28 real quik. my friend accepts and i reluctantly spend 3 mins trying my damndest to get into the cobra.

we go to the spot and there are a couple ppl peeling their tires and we fall in line.about 5 mins and an empty big gulp later, its finaly our turn. the evo guy's buddy flags our race.now lemme tell you something.those evo's are rediculously quick and something to be taken seriously. as his buddy raises both hands and throws them down the evo guns it with little tire spin.my buddy didnt even move.he let the evo get about 30ft away before he dropped it into 1st and by second we were right at this guys doors.going into third we pull in front of him with ease and my buddy lets off the throttle enough to stay infront of him. we go again and the guy says to go full throttle this time and quit F-ing with him.so we agree and go again.same results only this guy was about 10 or so yards behind us.

we go down the street and turn off to go back to the gas station and we see his lights behind us.my buddy drives at normal speed prepared for another ricer fly-by and the unsuspected happens.the guy is tailing us the whole time until we get to the gas station.my buddy parks and was about to step out but the evo pulled next to my side. it was a different evo.it was a black one. he asked if we wanted to go just for fun real fast and my buddy agreed and we told him we would follow. the new guy pulls infront of us and i saw something that made my heart want to stop.

on his door, he had 4 ferrari emblems, 3 porche emblems, 1 lamborghini emblem, 9 corvette emblems, 2 viper emblems, and 1 cobra emblem. i was in awe.

once we finally arrive his friend gets outta the car and walks over to ours and pours water on our tires.i guess he wanted this to be a serious race. a couple burnouts or so later we finally line up. his friend throws the bottle of water into the air and we jet as soon as it landed.

it was pretty even from the start. going all the way into 3rd we had perfect shifts. the street was getting shorter and shorter and we had to brake sometime. the guy pulls infront of us with his hazards flashing and his friend sticks his head out to tell us to go again. we agree and flip a u-turn at the light.as soon as the street light turned green we were left seeing his tail lights.he definatly wasnt using nos but i think he was just toying with us the first time.ive never saw something move so fast before. but i guess thats street racing for you

theres always, ALWAYS someone faster.

No NOS? He had to have some serious money in that car......


Better luck next time!

Man that was a great story! It must have been a lot of fun. On the serious note... have you looked into hand controls yet? A pretty new auto stang would do you right IMO.

Good story but I find it hard to believe, yes I don't believe your story, that a street car goes part throttle to beat a Mustang that runs 10.0 on drag radials.

Just to help me believe this story, what modifications are done to this Cobra? And is this Cobra at the bottom of your post your friends or yours?

believe what you want or dont want.come down to las vegas to see for your self and i will be more than happy to introduce you to the cobra that can outmatch a viper. its a fully, i mean FULLY built block. i dont exactly KNOW the specific modifications that he's made because of the fact that its NOT my car.but with his s/c hes running about 8-11 psi with a pretty high compression ratio of 10.2:1. but enough technobabble, if you can afford to take a weekend off from work and book a flight to vegas for an over-nighter, please and i MEAN PLEASE hit me up.he probably wont run a 10 second ET now due to the heat but this was in winter.until now i didnt think that his car was unstreetable but it apparently is.trust me, he would easily take you any day. PM me for my work number if you can make it down here anytime cuz we both work together, you can get his mods list down just as long as you have 5 or so minutes to kill.

I have little doubt a 10 second Mustang would beat my car that I could care less if he did beat my car. I'm happy having a reliable 11 or 12 second car to drive around.

The part of the story that seemed farfetched to me was how the Evo you guys raced toyed with your friends 10 second car like it was a 12 second car. I know there is always someone faster out there but there really isn't that many streetable cars running around out there that are capable of toying with 10 second cars so I guess your friend found one.

I would love to come to Vegas for a weekend especially to see a 10 second Stang and other really fast cars but a trip right now is not likely because I have one day of leave and just purchased my Cobra so money is tight!

Sorry to have doubted your story, again great story, but on the internet it's good practice to take every story with a grain of salt.

For the EVO to play with that 10 sec stang like that it would have to be a 9 sec EVO...He would have to be spraying a good shot of NOS or have a big turbo....maybe so...who knows...I try to look for a cage or something in the car..if you run in the 11's or better at the track you have to have a cage, that gives you an idea of what they run..that's an nhra rule...however it does not apply to vey new vehicles.
