I was on my way to work from school i was just cruising and what do i see, an 04 cobra :banana: :pepper: :banana:. it looked and sounded Bone stock it even had paper plates on it. I finally found a stock one that will actually be a good run because the 2 other Snakes that wanted to play had an easy 420-460rwhp and destroyed me. i down shifted 2 let him know i was game but he did nothing :cuss: we just paced each other for a while but no one ever punched it and then right when i was going to punch it on his ass i see traffic :cuss:. My exit for work was coming up so i got off and i was disappointed. I was wondering how i might do against the mighty Snake in Bone stock form. I think it will be a very very good race. From a stop i think i will have a advantage over him. How do u guys think my mild bolt on LS1 will do against a 03-04 CobrA that is Bone Stock

4.10's and good exhaust etc. like in your sig. If you are a good driver (which you probably are or you wouldn't mod your car) then you would beat him without to serious of an effort. But if you made a mistake that Cobra would getcha.

Was it maybe the fact that its been pouring rain here in SoCal for a week straight and even if the rain stopped for a minute the roads might still be a wee bit to slick? Not flaming, just trying to figure why he wouldn't go...

Are you in the Corps? My brother is and I have spent a couple summer's with him. We used to live down off of college.

I would think that you would win. Even more if the dude didnt wanna race which might mean that he's new to a fast car and doesn't know how to drive yet.

i'm your huckleberry. :coolman:

Yeah i know. This Rain is a pain on the Ass. It was around 10:30am so it wasn't raining yet. I work at Infiniti of Montclair. There was even a tornado watch in Ontario CA 2day :poke:

Yeah it was new, it still had paper Plates on. Either way that is the only Bone Stock Snake that i encountered so far and we couldn't Play. I am trying to give up Street Racing for good since i got into an accident racing a 02 WS6 :bash: But i would have went at it with the Snake Though

street racing is pretty stupid IMO, but testosteron gets the best of all of us at times. i made a promise to myself to not race on public streets again after i got my first ticket about a couple weeks ago street racing. but i can see myself doing it on a highway where i see no one around and just up to 100 or so. and the car i'm racing would have to be definently worth it because if for some reason a cop were to get me i wouldn't want to be racing minivan lol. but as of now i'm leaving it at the track because anything can happen on the street, just like your accident BPLS1, you wrecked cause you were racing, but it can happen to anyone.
