Don't forget I want some.......Originally posted by Goliath5.0
Glad I checked this thread again :) I saw what you post and this is what I have to say about it.
Okay man... I say HE WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND YOU!. However that is my opinion. As you explained what your mods were, I still say even with those mods including only a 75 shot off of a wet kit, I still don't think you are bringing enough to the table to put a whooping on him.
There are a lot of factors and reasons why I predict the outcome as such, to name a couple... the weight difference in both cars. Unless you have gutted out your 96 cobra, it is a tad heavier than a full weight fox gt. Also another factor, would be actual racing experience against a car like yours (not a 96 but a 98 cobra) but with more nitrous (125 shot / dry kit) and different wheel combo (this 98 cobra was on drag stars w/ nitto DR's).
I ran a buddies a-trim'd 90 LX coupe against him with practically the same mods as APV-Stang (stock h/c/i, etc) for the exception of his car being a coupe and him having chrome ponies w/ drag radials. Needless to say the 98 cobra stayed with me until the first part of third gear and then I pulled him after the first part of third and beyond, this was a highway race all the way till 4th gear and by that point he was rear view mirror food.
Comparing this and other similar experiences like it, is why I predict such.
Bring a 125 to 150 shot, then I say you MIGHT have a darn good chance. 96-98 cobras are awesome cars, PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG BY MY POST.
I am just stating my opinion, if you beat him AWESOME, if he beats you I give the same merit.
