Default 3 runs with an 99 cobra

run #1 60MPH roll
he get's the jump, no horn beats me by a 2 cars by 120MPH

run #2 dig
I tried stomping it while he was brake torqueing it, he squeels off the line and pulls ever so slightly though the gears and ends up beating me by a half a car up to 120MPH

run #3 dig
we both brake torque and I stay a half a car ahead all the way up to 120MPH nobody goes anywhere

sorry they aren't janine style stories but I'm tired as **** [>:]

with a stick in the cobra??????? now if the cobra had a turbo (obviously not) then brake boosting would make sense from a ROLL. the brake torque thing makes sense from a stop with an auto, otherwise i am COMPLETELY lost. all cobras are stickieeee

i am still lost. can you respond or no? cobras are stick, they do not brake torque(which is only from the line). i will say nice runs, but was this a badged GT or something? enlighten!

turbos are load dependent for those who dont know, brake boosting is the only way to get higer boost initially from a roll race. obviously this car was not F/I.
