"Ballsy" people are some of the best ones to know. They usually have an incredibly humorous personality but aren't pussies.
Thats right! Haha, i just realized the other day when i saw his car.... its not even a cobra - its a Mustang GT.... so yea, i dont know if its worth my gas - how much $ should i throw down? Any suggestions. Right now im running more or less untuned, .5 bar, with an exhaust leak. Im still damn confident though.

Eh, if it were me I'd just go something like $20-$40. It's not too big of a loss but you still get to take that sucker's money if you win. Emblem races, however, are very affordable. Last I checked OEM emblems cost somewhere in the range of $17. All that's really hurt is pride. See if he'll do an emblem race.

Even if it's a waste of gas you get a purdy shiny emblem!

Race him for a full tank of Premium gas.
I like the idea of pissing on his block if he loses too...
lol
And yeah, ****** take his Emblem and put it upside down on your car like the Emperors in Initial D. LOL

No hard feelings if you lose/lost, you've gotta lose sometime.

[quote name='Bluemeaniews6' date='Feb 15 2005, 05:17 PM']If it has a weird reverse induction cowl where the scoop is towards the front of the hood be very careful and very sure that your car is up around 340 horses if you want to race him. The SVT Cobra for 2003-2004 is a beast and only needs a different pulley on the S/C to pick up bigger numbers. If it has little oval inlets on the sides of the car and says cobra go ahead and race him. Even with a supercharger he is looking at 13.0 max in the quarter. I am with everyone else when I say get his badge, or even better race him for his supercharger.

Let me tell you to be extremely careful. I have a buddy with a real 04 cobra. He put a more efficient charger on it, with pulley, catback, intake and chip with tuning, his dyno graph was very impressive. At 1800 rpm the torque shot almost straight up and stayed at max torque with very little dip until redline. 547 rwhp on pump gas. The car is an animal, but very heavy. Just make sure you launch well and you should be fine! He ran 12.01 @ 122mph on 555r's with alot of wheel spin. Besides those cars styling don't rank up to the sexy status like ours!
