Thumbs down Bad *** cobra!!! But the owner suck

I finally found this guy lol. He is new in my area and I always hear him tearing up the spot. Today I was on my way back home from bk, Sitting at the light at a four way stop, He pulls up across from me. Im like its on goddammit! light turns green I through a rev as we drove past each other and he tap his breaks and I buck a u,But he bucks a u at the same time lol! That **** reminds me of a fist fight befor it starts sizing each other up lol. We pull over at a gas station and He seen the cobrakiller2 sticker on the z, He says whats up with that? I tell him dont read into to much its just Ford V chevy stuff. He laughs and says I dont have a chance against his cobra. I ask him what dose he have done. He states a ported blower, gears,pulley, exhaust, and a 75 shot. So I ask what kind of power? He says 850 to the wheels And im like here we go. I told him my car puts down 400 to the wheels. I dont like lying about my **** but Im gonna make this guy look dumb. I know dam well cant put 850 to the wheels on a stock ported blower with a 75 shot, Maybe a 200 shot So he pops his hood and yep its a stock blower and a zex no2 system So I ask him what do you want to go from since we are both on street tires , He says 40 Thats the sweet spot for me In short we line up Im in second he honks off 3 and for a split second in his head he though he was going to win lol Untill that boost hit I walk him no I ran from him hard it was kinda one sided. I shut down around 140 and pull in to the gas station. He pulls in, I ask him again how much power does his car put down he says 850, Im like man I know alot about cobras and from what you got aint noooo wayyyy so come clean he says 750 I laugh then I ask him how does a 400 hp turbo car beat you then? His response" Its turbo'd" I smile shake his hand and said "nice race" And left

I wish I knew lol. But and I know both know the door swings both ways when it comes to drivers like him and some f-bomb guys.


Just reminded me of a friend of mine with a f-bomb, Car ran 13.80-90 all the time right. Then he told me he just bolted up a set of slicks and nothing else and ran a 12.9>>>>>> at 117 mph!!! This car has a tiny cam 220, no tune, no ls6 intake,no bolt ones, But kooks long tubes. LOL Some people...

id be willing to bet that the car makes 600. a 75 shot jet will make more than 75 horse on a blower set up.

i raced a 04 and swore he was around -550 to the wheels with just bolt ons stock blower and pulley and he also had a 150 hit, but didnt want to use because he didnt need it to beat a ls1
long story short, we went from dig and i beat him by about a length. second run, i shifted harder this time to 7k and beat him by about 3 lengths.
i asked if he wanted to go to track and that we could set something up. i guess he was pretty upset and just left. didnt say nothing just rolled up his window and took off.
i seriously doubt he was laying down around 550 to the grd.
