Something's wrong with that Cobra or he can't drive. Probably the latter.

A friend of mine has one (with the SMG tranny) and I blowhis doors off every time. Check this out at 1:50. Not my car, but you get the idea....

I have raced 3 M3's... 2 newer styles (the ones with 333bhp) and one older one, and a M6... and none of them were remotly close.. the guy in the m6 just kinda stopped once I caught him after getting straight (I was sideways coming out of a turn)... They really don't impress me when compared to my car for racing, but all around... they are some NICE cars... They handle well and are decently fast for what they are... Like I said, I wouldn't mind having one.

And?

The guy with the 99 either didn't get "the fix" or he can't drive. Period.

i agree. the 99 cobra should have done a lot better than that.

There are all kinds of comparisons. Im pretty sure you can get more *** with an M3 than a Cobra.

The 99 cobra with the fix will still lose stock 2 stock vs a M3... sorry.

My M3 would give a stock 03 cobra a run for its money. For what they are 03 cobras don't perform as well as they should.

Don't be sorry. I disagree frompersonal experience. They've been close, but I've never lost to one and I know my car ain't a freak.

Then it's driver error... stock m3's can run in the low 13's... N/A Cobras won't...


David... If you're giving Terminators a scare, it's because the Terminator driver really doesn't know what he's doing... the car stock should run in the high 12's... but then again, i have seen them run awful... lol and i know you know how to drive... In the end in straight line racing - you're comparing a 333bhp 200 something lb ft torque car that weighs around the same to a car that dynos at 370/340... it's easily a half second faster in the qtr... but you already knew that
