Default 06 Mustang GT vs sti vs 2003 Cobra ***video

Went out after class last night, met up with some friends for the disaster of a Sabres game .. couldn't take it anymore so went to the local meet spot. Some kid with an Sti was claiming 400 wheel and wanted to run the procharged GT. The best we had was a android camera phone, but i have to say all things considered the filming came out great! Also, i am VERY impressed with the yellow pullied cobra! It is the fastest pulley/exhaust cobra i think i have seen. Running the ~470 wheel GT, the cobra had a 200lb passenger and a 150lb passenger!

Nice runs. Looks like that Cobra would've gotten away if he hadn't of had all that extra weight riding with him.

Good races!! Honestly, I have raced multiple S197s blown S197s making over 450 to the wheels, and beat them all at track or on the streets. By no means they are slow cars. They are solid 11 second rides, however, cobras are just different kind of animals, and it takes a lot put them down. The average power per RPM is what matters, not peak power. Plus, I laugh at those who underestimates terminator's top end. 95% of my races, I pulled on my opponents up top, and this includes turbo cars, procharged cars, etc.

I have a video of me running against a 380fwhp Srt4 which shines nowhere but up top. We were even almost through out all my 3rd gear (towards the top of my 3rd, i started to pull) and i shifted to 4th, i started to walk even harder.

I ran against a 400rwhp c5 vetter who claimed that he would murder me up top, and again, i started to pull on him on my 4th gear and put 2 cars on him.

I ran against a 535rwhp - 480rwtq geared 02 vortech GT, and we were dead even 4 runs in a row all the way up to 140mph from 40mph rolls. He is not a bad driver, and a member of local board.

My list goes on and on and on...

Cobras make insane amount of average hp per rpm unlike many high hp cars out there.

I think a geared (4.10s) blown S197 making 450rwhp+ would do well against a pullied cobra, however, uptop, I expect cobra to take the cake.

I am not talking the things I have read online, or heard at car shows. I am truly speaking from personal experiences on the streets / at track.
