Default Lost 1st race

So i just raced a very stock sounding vert Termie. It was about a 40 roll, he got the hit and pulled about 1.5 cars or so and pretty much stayed there till about 100 when we let out. I have an o/r x , flows with dumps, and a c&l cold air. Does that sound about right?

Sounds like you did more than alright! He should of pulled much harder. Good job, sounds like you are a hell of a driver!

sounds about right, good job bro. My only 2 stang races were against cobras when I was showroom stock and it was about the same. It's all in the driver. Now we just gotta beat one! I know we're all bros in the stang world, but my Lord....that would be cool.

i beat a cobra 5 times at the track this weekend granted it was a 98 cobra but still lol that sounds like you did really good it prolly was stock from the way it sounds but nice none the less. i raced my buddy in his termi making 430 to the wheels at the time from a 40 and it was him by half a car threw 2nd then once we hit third he just took off and left me there lol

I saw the guy at the gas station the next day and he said it was bone stock. Its a really nice car, O4 mystichrome convertible. He said he was impressed cause usually a gt will try to race and they just get blown away, lol. I'm thinkin with an intake spacer, 4.10's, and a dyno tune i could beat a stock one.

i dunno about that, they're putting down anywhere from 360rwhp- the claimed 390 stock...i think you'll need to go from a dig and know how to launch your car, and shut down before he catches traction....the cobra IRS loves street launches.

I'll hit up Ferg 03 cobra or another 03 cobra around here and get some video of a bone stock race between the two beasts

There are like no machs around here. I think i've seen maybe 2 in the 8 months i've had mine. Hardly any s/c cobras either. So i'm excited to get to run something other than a ricer, or an old POS joe dirt camaro. I've seen a few videos of you on youtube Rebel. I haven't got to take mine to the 1/8 yet to see what i can do.
