Killed a Cobra
Got to race a terminator coupe this past weekend on a nice straight away. I had beaten one before but with the gear swap, it was a no contest. Went from a stop to about 130, he got the jump on me but I had caught up by second. I was more than car length ahead by 100 kept edging forward. What did I learn from this? Gears make a huge difference. It was MUCH closer when I only had the 3.27s in. Even though I've only got 3.73s, it made a significant difference over stock. It's also the first time I really got a good run with an 04 coupe. I got to talk to the guy and convinced him on some parts he should get (some IRS stuff from MM and a pulley swap). All he had was a CAI. Hopefully I'll get to see the guy at the drag strip in the spring.

*****But your biggest mistake was posting this, because now you going to get,if only the cobra had gears or if only the cobra had a KB....For once lets just accept this and clap to a proud mustang owner.
