are you really serious?? are you proud of beating that cobra?? i would never even post that as a comparison. post the timeslip... was the cobras 60ft something like 2.2-2.3?? how about the trap speed... still 120+ im sure. that cobra obviously had a horrible run to get beat by you.
not trying to sound like a *****, but your car will get beat by a cobra with 400+ rwhp. and when you win, its because something went wrong with the other car!

.. right brian?... *sigh* ..
was it by chance a hardtop .. because i've been told that a 'vert cobra to a mn6 vette will be relatively equal .. but then again i'm just goin on what somebody said.
oh well you lost .. now get a h/c package and show him up.

my friends cobra used to get me by about the same when I had my ss with bolt ons. he made 413 rwhp with intake and exhaust. now I got the vette with a cam in it and I'm right at his back bumper, and he has a pulley pushin 440/440.

not trying to sound like a *****, but your car will get beat by a cobra with 400+ rwhp. and when you win, its because something went wrong with the other car!

120 mph? You didn't even read my post. Why don't you think before you speak (or pound out words on a keyboard). I said 1/8th mile.
<----youI just read your sig, and it doesn't sound like you can drive any better than the cobra that I smoked, your 2.0 60' time is weak. I've been pulling 1.972's with a 3.15 geared auto. Good 1/4 mile et's though. You could shave off a good .2 seconds if you could launch your car.

You don't have to sound like a *****, because I beat him every of the four runs against each other, and my worst time was better than his best time. I can point you to online dynos for BOTH our cars. Too bad you are wrong and misread the intent of my post. I was telling the original poster that his HP numbers were low.

<----you #1... 1/8th mile??
#2.... 2.1 60ft with drag slicks?? WOW!
impressive. not.#3... 1/8th mile?!? my fault. just know that in the long run you would have been beat, and his MPH would have been a LOT higher than yours.
oh and i understood your post. but i cant stand when people post stuff about beating way faster cars. it gets old. im glad you beat him everytime. be sure to frame your 1/8th mile timeslips.

#3. Why would I care that he would beat me in the long run, or even at all? We were two friends at the 1/8th mile, so 1/8th mile is what counted. How about we all just do stupid high speed runs on the interstate and see who is really the fastest car....
like I said, grow up.
