run against mod'd 03 s/c cobra *VIDEO*

so i decided to check out the scene one last time in louisville last night.. hit up the hot spot around 12-1am last night (sat) and after checking out everything and watching the cops everywhere, and police helicopters haha i was layin pretty low... after figuring out how everything worked, i rolled up to the area many were parked and the cops weren't giving any trouble, MANY mustangs.

after a few minutes of checkin stuff out and hearing the normal bs everyone talks, i asked who was the fastest car there. its a pretty unanimous decision thats its this cobra. i talked to the owner later on he listed off all the crap he has done, i dont remember it all, and finally ask if he wants to race. he thought i had a 240sx and i was like nah, that maxima. he doesnt even bother to ask what im running, and shockingly says he will agree to race from a roll, no money. so we both ride out and pick up the interstate for two runs. first run i waited for him to go before i got on it, a mistake, esp. w/ turbo. second run around , we do the classic honk and both go at same time - this is the video i have. keep in mind they run stock what 12.9 @ 111mph ?

need windows media player, and if that doesnt work get the latest version from microsoft.com for free.
VIDEO

the info everyone wants to know: i am at ~10psi, mevi was turned OFF (my new gear ratios don't work well with my mevi setup presently, gettin it fixed), no muffler just 3" mandrel pipe out the back w/ highflow cat (new exhaust setup coming..).

big thanks to luke @ vqpower for continued hosting!

12.9 @ 111 is slow for an 03 cobra. They are in mid 12s easily and typically trap about 114, but I've heard of them trapping as high as 117.

True. When I was at the track a few months ago testing out my SC, I spoke to a '03 Cobra owner. He said he ran a 12.6 bone stock. Even he was surprised by the result. He thought it was a high 12s stock.

how do you think you would have done from a stop instead of a roll?

You'd also have boost at a roll too, right? I'm just guessing, because I don't know how much lag your setup has.

3psi @ 1500, full boost @2500rpm ? i'd have boost off the line , and i actually do ok off the line (see track video), i just figured its rwd, and an absolute torquey beast - so might as well avoid any traction issues if its as easy as saying "from a roll" and him agreeing.

yes i did and 1/2 the people there wouldnt believe i won even when he said i did haha.. and trust me i had people wanting to race after that

spanishrice: I had no muffler if you read the description and the windows were up... so my exhaust basically covered all haha, and as far as not going fast? well count the gears buddy and do the math... and if you get bored, it is even on the title screen, 2nd-5th.

I mean ya the gear changes, it is just how you filmed it I guess. I wish I had your car though. Might try to get a kit if I can get all of my college paid for.
