'01 Cobra - can I take him? - 1/28/2008 2:49:12 PM    74scamp   Posts: 1238 Joined: 1/25/2006 From: Los Lunas, ,NM Status: offline Kid at work just bought a 2001 Cobra.  We're talking about going to the strip one night.  I checked on line and the stock specs on it show 320hp @ 6000, 317ftlb @ 4750.  Think I can take him?  I think it would be close. dave _____________________________ Post #: 1

I raced a 97 cobra with brand new motor and other mods when i first got my charger. I had him all the way by a least a car or 2. don't shift manually. just put her in 1st and smash it.

I appreciate it.  I figure he'll get me off the line - unless he smokes his tires.  HEY!!  I GOT IT!  I'LL BLIND HIM WITH TIRE SMOKE!!! Seriously, though.  He may have a tough time launching.  I doubt he'll have much practice before we do this.  It would be nice, cause I think there's a lot of people at work that are planning on coming out for this little "grudge" match. dave _____________________________ (in reply to atnyman) Post #: 6

But I'm going to assume he would only run mid-high 13's cause he just getting the car. So you should only be 1-2 cars behind him. But after 100mph he is going to start pulling away pretty good.

I'm not great, but I do have a bit of experience.  My thought is that if I can beat him at the light, he'll panic, hammer the throttle, and just spin his tires.  But, I think we'll have fun anyway.  I think we'll get a group of people together from work and go out on a Friday night "grudge match" night, and just have some fun.  You just never know what might happen.  But thanks for all the replies, guys.  I was hoping to keep it close, and maybe I can by out driving him.  Shoot, I'd settle for him just beating me by a length or two.  (I'm trying to build up his confidence so he'll feel really good about it by the time we get to go.  May work to my advantage). dave _____________________________ (in reply to DevilsReject) Post #: 9
