    My 2003 Cobra vs Chrysler 300C SRT8

    I was driving to grab some groceries today and out of nowhere I see a 300C come up on me and fly by. I saw the SRT8 as he flew by me; It sounded really nasty and the cats had to be gone because it stunk also. The guy just gave me a nod as he flew by. He then slowed down and got up next to me...

    My 2003 Cobra vs 2001 Intimidator SS Camaro

    I was heading home from a friends house on the freeway minding my own business around midnight a couple of nights ago and I see something coming up on me in my rear view mirror. The guy switched lanes and flew by me (i was going 75 in a 65) so he was probably doing 95 or so. He then let off the...

    Cruising in the Cobra and I came across a ZL1

    So I was cruising in the Cobra in the Milwaukee area tonight and I saw a 5th gen Camaro in front of me. I was not looking to pick a fight because generally Camaro's in the area are all SS or v6 and they do not scare me too much. So I pulled up behind the Camaro and saw ZL1 on the right rear...

    FTBR Front Brembo Review

    As some of you may know, Bruce over at Full Tilt is developing a front Brembo kit; since I live close to Bruce's shop, Bruce gave me the option to buy a kit before it went to market. I also have Bruce's 13 inch rear kit on my cobra. After a spirited drive over the weekend; all I can say is...
