both stock gearing? He on street or DR's like you?

If he's on street tires, I think a roll woudl be better for him.

BTW - two things, he's probably closer to 300RWHP and this is in the wrong section.

My buddy had a stock 01 Cobra and I wasn't very impressed.. I think you should win both if the driver mods are equal. Good Luck!

what the hell..i've seen your jeep^^. on jeepsunlimited or jeepforum. it has an ls1 in it right?

but the cobra should easily be a mid 13 car. note, pretty easily. not far from an ls1. so i don't understand. but anyway, nice jeep.

btw, have you ran your car at the track? if so, what mph did you trap in the eighth? my buddy has a 99 cobra thats why i'm asking.

If he doesnt have gears i think you prolly get him from both a dig and a roll. My buddy has a 99 cobra with the same stuff and gears and i only had a catback and lid last time and i still beat him from a roll. It will def be a good race though +1 on the video

lol I'm on both of those sites, but you are thinking of TXJeep98 or TXJeep something.. he has the same color, very similar. I am considering a LS1 swap this summer though, depends on what kinda deal I can find for a LS1/4L60E..

But I never knew those year Cobras were that fast? Maybe it's that my friend always raced from a roll.. A near stock (intake) dumdumdumdumdum put a few cars on my buddy from a maybe 30mph roll.. so I dunno..

Edit: I guess S.R.T.four is censored. lmao!

You'll win if he is still stock geared. If not then it could be a great race.
