I'm not cobra nut swinging here even tho it sounds like it. if the op raced these cars from a dig, then by all means it'd be the op all the way over both. I just dont see how he pulled out the w against the '98 other than for 2 reasons, the driver cant shift, or his numbers are heavily inflated.

I don't think they have raced yet, I was just throwing out my guesstimate... I personally beleive if the cobra has stock wheels with a set of DR's that he will dust the tires starting @ 50MPH with his WHP and torque running through that 4.10 final drive... but like I said, that is just me throwing around what I THINK will happen

tune, pulley, cai? The GT500 in my video supposedly had a 2.9L whipple swap... it's not like I know if it did or not but I have no grounds to challenge that it didn't

EDIT: crap nevermind, just went back to page one and saw the race happened... LOL, I was still in guessing mode, that video I posted was a video I found using some interweb sleuthing, he was racing a GT500 with a 2.9L whipple from a dig in that video

WHY AM I ALWAYS LATE TO THREADS THIS WEEK?!

50 mph isn't enough speed to eliminate traction issues at their power. They might as well be going from a dead stop. Hell, I just do hook at 45-50 mph.

I can definitely see how the OP won these races. The Cobra and GT500 should learn something from the him.

Meh, I'm pretty good at bench racing and I'm usually right around the ballpark

unfortunately it isn't very useful... gold star on the fridge material xD
