Supposedly the cobra had issues running...he got home and said he had five bad spark plugs and is looking for a rematch..


They are both members of a local forum and spoke in length ...the cobra owner is still not giving any live excuses and accepts the loss...

I think he is a member on here...Lethal03

It's just your average pulleyd and bolt on cobra....

Both cars were supposedly trailered in though. They just didnt show the cobra on the trailer. :beer:

Fair and square.. the cobra lost. But you win and loose, but live to race another day :lol:

:bored: I should have edited my trailer statement, when I say trailer i specifically mean a turbo'd or procharged or whipple or kb, no interior, slicks in the back-skinnies front, almost-if-not fully 1/4mile prepped drag car.
I knew watching the video this was a bolt on Cobra w/ eaton. :bored::bored::bored::bored::bored:

Honestly if I was going into a race where $500 is on the line, I better have the fastest eaton in the country at MINIMUM. And a turbo/TS/procharged 9sec or even 8sec (just to be safe) car.
Those honda guys took his money because they knew they could beat a bolt on cobra.

:burnout:

cobra did not sound healthy, but come on a $500 dollar race and you dont replace plugs, change oil, and belts to ensure there will be no mechanical failure???

Guys with 8 and 9 sec cars don't race for $500....

just pulley/bolt on cobra? they're quick, but if you're going to be throwing down a few hundo's you should at LEAST be ported...looks like he underestimated the honda. that shit happens though. bet he's more prepared next time.

Really? You know for a fact people with 9 sec cars or faster don't street race for $500 or any given amount of $$$?
:read:

Hell, I raced on the street for the fun of it (never sprayed on the street though.) Never have I raced for cash. I don't see the point.

Heres the thing about trailering a car, sometimes it's not because the car is so fast it's unstreetable. If you bring a trailer and you break, you still have a ride home. I trailer all my cars to the track, even my driver cobra. I don't know why people act like if it's on a trailer it must be fast, it just makes sense to use it if you got it. Btw that civic was getting it. No hook still walking the cobra.

For $500, I was hoping for faster cars.

No surprise that a 6262'd anything would walk a bolt on Terminator.
