if he is stock and you don't put a bus length on him i will be surprised. im NA and i can keep up with a stock one easily. with gears AND blower you should be able to knock it down a LOT lower than 12.5 in the 1/4, assuming traction

Nice kill.
I've yet to race a 03/04 cobra, street or track. I wonder how I would stack up.

Im not sure about sleeper but, Im not 85 rwhp from a 03/04 cobra. Im putting 401rwp so I should be up about 20 or 30 from a stock one I would think. I know they were underated. anything 03/04 below I handle with ease, I think the 03/04 I should be able to take assuming I get a good launch.

reading your sig would def. make me believe you could run with a cobra brother, but a mostly stock auto 3v is not going to outrun or run with a cobra.

Correct. I missed who you were talking to. Not much to start stuff and I'm not going to doubt what another man says about his car, BUT sleeper seems to think his car has a little more ***** than it really has. Even with 4.30's the 80-90 hp less than a 03/04 cobra there is no way with him having to shift sooner could he make up the power in his car with his mods. Not calling BS, I just would really like to see what he has.
I know before I had my s/c done there is no way I was staying with a 03/04 cobra and I had 30 more hp than sleepers car.

from what i could conclude, sleeper might of been talking about an LS1.

Couple more mods and you will be able to!
BTW, he had 3.73 gears, lid & SLP catback. Sounded like crap.

So, I'm out cruising around last night, it's a nice cool night out, not much traffic around town... wasn't a whole lot going on so I was thinking about heading home when a Red SS is across from me at a light. It turned green and he u-turned to get behind me. Once I saw he u-turned, I knew what he wanted to do. So I lead the way out of town onto a 4 lane highway.
I pulled out and let him get besides me doing about 15 mph and we roll down our windows and he asks to run from a 30mph roll, because "I think I can win from a roll". I just smirked and said "Okay". So we pulled up to 30mph, I'm in 2nd gear and I tell him to start when he wants. We cruised for about 5 seconds at 30mph and he went WOT, it took all of half a second before I started to shoot out past him and proceeded to put lengths and lengths on him up to about 90mph. So he flashes his lights on and off to let me know he gave up. He catches back up to me and proceeds to say he popped out of 2nd gear...hah okay. So I tell him to run from 1st gear this time, from a 15mph roll.
So we drop down to 15mph and I tell him to start again. He jumps pretty hard and I roll into 1st so I don't fry the tires off. I was at his back bumper and I quickly pulled up to his front bumper, wheel hopping just a little, eased into 2nd and proceeded to pull out hard, shifted into 3rd and the bus lengths were about to arrive again and he suddenly stops. So we slow down again and he said to me "You only beat me by a car length or two that time". I said "Man, I was still pulling you hard and you just quit". So he looks at me like I'm full of crap...
I'm not one to drive really fast on public roads, but I figured since it was 12:30, on an absolutely dead 4 lane highway, all this time we've spent talking and racing and a single car hasn't gone past us, I'd run him at some higher speeds. So I tell him to race from 15mph to 120 this time, he agrees it's a good idea because "my top end pulls so hard". Hah, okay.
So I let him start the race, this time I actually got decent traction in first and shot out past his front bumper, eased into 2nd and proceeded to pull out a bunch of cars, get into 3rd just kept pulling and pulling, he was so far back I couldn't even begin to estimate how far, powershifted into 4th really hard, ran up to 120 and quit.
Anyways, we slow back down and pull into a rest stop and he starts telling me how it's the first 03/04 Cobra he lost to. Hah!
