Hissman,trust me Im not worried I look for these cars on the street.To msp282...I do get in a lot of street races but I also look for them.There are a lot of imports out in LV,still you are right I dont see them very often.I have yet to see an STI,and I havent seen another 03 Cobra for awhile. I also believe that Hissman could have done what he says as I have raced some pretty quick NA Cobras.Even my old bolt on Gt could hold its own with many cars.

Man, i live in West Virginia, and within 10 miles of my house there are 4 SRT4's, 6 STi's, and I don't know how many '03 Cobras. You see them everywhere around her. There are dealerships, at least two for every make within 15 miles, and the largest SVT dealership in WV about 7 miles from my house. Maybe that is why I see them so often. Bad thing is that a lot of them are owned by older adults that wont run you.

I had a f-ing pumped up mazda 3 turbo pull up at a light and "rev" on me! I just laughed and said "oh hell no!" The light turned and I rolled hard into the throttle, even with my 305 m/t dr's I spun hard, we were about dead even when I caught traction and instantly pulled 2 cars on him! Im still laughing as we pull up to the next light and hes looking at me like I'm the devil! He asked me what the "F" I have under the hood? I said one word.....TERMINATOR!
I truly dont think he even knew what he raced against! Hahahahah

"whats that smell.....I think your rice is burning!"

The (STI,EVO,SRT4's etc) lets just call them "burning RICE" think they are FAST (lol)
I have raced several of each flavor, all modified, and NONE stand a chance from a roll. One EVO claimed to be pumping 30 lbs of boost and 500 hp, left his rice smoldering in my exhaust. Hell, even a 96 ws6 T/A with twin turbos (Black with flame paint job) claimed to be making 600 hp got his ass walked 3 cars to 100!! You could hear this f-ing thing charging up from behind over my exhaust!! Dam that turbo whine was loud! But it wasnt fast enough! Only thing that has left me was a pumped gt500 (chased me down to kick my ass after I did a burnout in front of him!!) and a twin turbo porsche that left me from a light (although I was reeling him in before he let off). If your stock, its close with the ricers, but if your 03 Terninator is just pullied and tuned......SEE YA!!!

Wow dude you can start a new thread instead of bringing one back from 6 years ago.

Edit: But it was pretty interesting reading those comments from so long ago lol.

I opened the thread and read the first couple posts thinking... wtf there is suddenly a lot of tards trying to compare cobras and evos.

Then saw the posting date and realized the car had just come out.

Just leave dead threads alone.

I saw an Evo at the track a couple weeks ago and the best it could do was 13.8 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

I can miss 3rd gear and still beat that..............

right when I had my 04 cobra(had x pipe and cat back) I missed a 3rd gear shift, but I got my best 60ft of the day(1.9). I ended running a 13.0 @ 75mph. I thought I broke the trans I grinded it so bad.

EDIT: Wow I didn't even noticed the post were from 03.

Not all Evo guys are idiots but I will admit some are. But I have also seen a lot of Cobra guys that had the same huge ego thinking nothing could stop there big supercharged V8 lol. Evos and Cobras are always good matches for each other.
