Ok so as it starts im cruising now a nice 55 mph highwayim in the far right lane..four lanes over is a gorgeous 2004 red cobra...this is at night too..what caught my eye was is beautiful gold/copper looking pipes shinning like crazy...light turns greens he pull a u turn.. i jump over 4lanes to pick a little fight to see what these cobras have...he didnt bite at first...out of second he decideds to absolutely destroy me.. he flat out walked on me like i wasnt even moving...DAMN i was PISSED...2nd he crushed me and in 3rd kinda leveled off but then realized he probably had shut down...so i turn around in awe of this beast knowing it had something redonkulous under the engne...ive got 350 to the wheels right now.. not badd.. 1 week later at our weekend car meets i was telling my buddy of this thrashing...he laughed and said ummm that might be because he has 850 HP TO THE WHEELSSSS...AHAHAHAHAHAHA he knows the guy...andhad been to his shop that he owns several time....and u cant miss the gold pipes either...i felt sooooo much better after that...cause damn this thing was nasty...now i want my single turbo dmanit i think its a GTR35 ball bearing turbo. i may have said that wrong lol...anyone got one for sale or know where i can get it.... thanks lol hope yall enjoyed this story...i did redeem myself last night stomping on the same year make and model of the cobra...hit 3rd gear on interstate four and at 120 he was several cars back

yehh i meant 2004 cobra in the title...the last year of the previous body style. not the new ones... so i think its 04

03-04. Big body style, kind of ugly. And yes, those things can be monsters. Even stock, they are pretty quick. No worries though, he has 2.5x more power than you do.

add that single turbo and rerun that cobra punk from a dead stop and see what he has then. i bet he didnt run from the stop cause he cant hook his **** up on the streets. good effort though keep it up.

Well sort of. It's an expensive car (relatively speaking) so if he can afford the cobra, he can also afford good tires. If he does have good tires...and he's a fair driver, FD might not get enough of an advantage off the line to win.

nothing wrong with losing to a badass car.

No lie, a good loss to a great car. I don't see many stock Cobras out there anymore. They've got a great setup for easily bolting on some power adders (bigger s/c belts, intercoolers, etc). My friend got an '04, changed exhaust, added a chip, put on some decent tires, and he was real quick. He just added a 2-stage intercooler so he can increase boost a little bit; should be a monster to deal with.

meh you win some you lose some.

mehhh im going Single turbo hopefully T78 and we are gonna line up and launch..get me a nice set of drag or street radials and see what kinda race is it this time =), with the new turbo comes a monster VMOUNT i will be happy when that gets done...i dont like losing..it makes me spend more money lol

850 hp cobra? He must have had a turbo setup, or a kenne bell or whipple blower and a healthy shot of nitrous on top of that. Don't race one from a roll, they get INSTANT boost.
