fd vs. 03 cobra... vids.

well me and my buddy finally decided to take a run out against each other. in our area the top runners are my fd, his cobra, and a turbo camaro. we are all neck and neck. he has a full bolt on 03 cobra with a 2.2 blower at 18 psi. it puts down bewteen 550-575whp. it is a conv though so it weights just about 3900 lbs. we got 2 good runs. first run i pulled him by a car to around 140-145mph when i let off, but on the first run he had the camera guy with him. second run was to about the same speed. he got a slight jump on me because i couldnt hear his horn during break boosting. so he pulled a car but this time i had the camera guy with me. so we came down to it being almost dead even if there wasnt a camera guy ( 203 lbs ) in either of our cars. runs were great and it was a blast here are the vids.

btw. im going back for a few more runs once i setup my race fuel.

first run.

also here was the final run. this would have been really good since the cobra pulls a bit harder in 3rd but i come back in 4th. it would have been side by side and i had the camera guy with me.

Nice runs. I used to have a 500rwhp 03 cobra that I sold back in December. That was will full bolt ons, stock blower, and full emissions. Mine was a coupe, which is about 200 lbs lighter.

Nice runs man.

I think you have a faster car than just 400rwhp. Going by how fast the speedo climbs.
