Default popped a headgasket

Yep thats right the new motor got the best of me, I couldnt wait to break it in so I drove it pretty hard and it rewarded me with a blown headgasket.. Oh well parts are in the mail for me to fix it.. mean while here is a crappy phone vid of one of the races.. Its a 98 cobra with an 03 cobra motor with all the usual stuff.. all the power in the world doesnt mean crap when you cant put it down! http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...4080258-00.flv

felt awesome I was only taking it to around 5k, which it had plenty left.. that guy was way pissed I beat him! He wanted to go again but my car was way to hot.. He had major traction issues and said next weekend we'll go again, and I said I had traction issues to but Next time ill use the ET streets I have... I also raced an 03 cobra, a GMC cyclone, a fox body, a 99-04 gt, and RSX, an LS1 camaro.. hmm and I think that was it

i heard lots of wheel spin, from both cars.

if that cobra hooks, more than likely he will pass you. insane top-end power in those cars. 160 in 5th gear...
