me vs. 03/04? cobra
 

While on the way home earlier, i saw this silver 03/04 cobra that sounded like it had a exhaust... and possibly a few other things that i couldnt tell. we were toying around until we cleared traffic. from a 50 roll, i took the jump slightly by half a car but right when i go into 4th he was already 1 1/2 car lengths ahead of me. i think we stopped at around 100 mph but i wasnt really paying attention, gave him a :icon_tup: , took my exit and went on my way home. this was my first race against a cobra with my rx7 so I was pretty excited. it was more of a death than a kill.... lol!

my car is a 1993 rx-7 5-speed with the only supporting mod being a b&m shortshifter.

yeah those 03/04 cobras can be mean. Not bad though for you only having a b&m short shifter. Do you have the other bolt-ons such as exhaust and such? If you don't then it might be a lot closer next time you guys race.

im bone stock, im about to install a downpipe, highflow cat and a catback exhaust sometime nextweek, possibly a pfc also.

wow for a bone stock and he was ahead by 1 1/2 car. That's good bro.

when you get a dp,exhaust,pfc and intake on it I'm sure you could beat him if he only beat you by 1 1/2 cars last time.

good kill again and good luck if you race him again

if i ever run into him again haha :D, it was a random occurance when i was going home.

I have run 1 03/04 Cobra. I believe he was completely stock. Unfortunately for him, I am not. Needless to say, it was not pretty. We ran about 5 times(once from a stop and the rest from a roll) and I easily beat him by 8 cars or so.

Anyway, get those mods done and you'll beat him for sure. Or at least another one, if you don't see him again. Good luck

I'm surprised he didn't pull harder on you. that's a (depending on the source) between 395-425whp car stock that takes very well to mods and only weighs in at 3600ish lbs. Vs your ~225 whp and depending on trim level between 2780-2900lbs. Id' think he'd have pulled a bit more. :dunno:

Either way, nice write up, get some mods and you'll definately feel the difference.

Haha, looking at your user name and location, I bet you either know Charles/Amanda or go to Planet Zero, am I right?

haha yea i know charles and amanda!! and go to planet zero every now and then. who are u?

i was actually suprised myself! he might've let off but his exhaust so blasting away at me still lol

I'm a pretty good friend of Charles, I used to go down to PZ a lot :D

ahhh, i only go during pz meets now, if that.

Did you go to the meet the weekend before Valentines Day? I saw a red FD parked right in front of the PZ entrance, was it yours? I pulled up in my white FD right as it was leaving - they actually gave me the red FD's spot.

oh no, my fd was garaged at the time and i drove out my lil civic lol
