Well, finally got a chance to line up with a couple worthy competitors over the weekend.

First was a stock '86 GN and we went from a 20 mph roll. By 85 mph I had three cars on him. Too easy....the kid told me it ran 12.50's:rolleyes: ...yeah right. My bolt-on (only 2 of them by the way--->Bassani X w/ cats and a Mac Catback) Cobra just walked you that bad? And you think you run 12.50's??? LOL....

Second was a '99-'00 Lightning on the highway. From a 65 punch (I was in third), I pulled him bad. I figured I was gonna get smacked down but it was a pleasant surprise to walk a new L.:D

I'm off to install my Tri-Ax.....

Outstanding!

First, let me welcome you to the board!

Second, let me congratulate you on your choice of the best year model Cobra...:D. (We all know the '98s are the fastest...)

Third, while I can't condone cannibalizing another of the SVT family, I've gotta love a '98 getting TWO races in the sweet spot of the powerband. My Goodyear GS-Cs are old/hard enough to REALLY spin badly at 20MPH in first... Be careful with the 2nd gen ('99/00) Ls from a stop, if they hook, they'll have a great chance to kill you. Also, the '01s come with twenty more HP (380) and 3.73s, from the factory, so be VERY careful about "throwing down the gauntlet" with a new one ;).

Fourth, EXCELLENT kill on a very respected member of the musclecar family (Buick GN), even if it is from "the General". LOL :D

Keep 'em coming!

Congrats on the kills, but I'd be carefull w/ the L's.
I should know, I drive one :)
And let's just say I've seen more than my share of the running pony on the grill of the Cobras, (through my rearview mirror of course). But anyway,...... good kills!
