I started to read this thread due to the hilarious title. I could only make it through the first 3 pages. But I did figure out that OP=TOOL


And....and and I though I would share my latest kill with you guys.

I beat a brand new C6 Z06 with a HUGE turbo in my FOCUS!!!

Pulled him by 1.5 cars up to 130... anything can happen on the street RIGHT?

Dayum those vettes are HEAVY

You were just upset that a KB Cobra lost and felt you had to justify the loss with a lot of explanations and excuses that sounded a lot like

But it's still faster

I'm proud of my car. The only 03/04 Cobra I have ever raced went down.

Apparently the whining from the Cobras are not confined to the motor

Rock on Camaros. I look forward to many more years of slapping you guys around ONCE they are brought back from the DEAD!

The LS1 engine couldnt even save the pile of garbage. What pride you must feel rattling around everywhere.


Hopefully you are just being ignorant to the fools who have made retarded comments and are not generalizing every Camaro. I have 100k and everything still works fine.
I love Cobras, my buddy has a bad *** one. But I'd never sell my hugger for one. My left leg isn't strong enough for that heavy *** cable clutch.
There my shot, now lets get off the ripping on each other and pick on some big muffler civic people


There's always someone faster, jiggly handle and all.

Not many people could do what Jayplayss2,67maro and I were doing and not get angry and turn a little fun, into a full blown war.The lowest,cheapest shots got thrown for the best effect.All in a days work.
Noones feelings got hurt because under the surface it was good-spirited.




Oh yeah!Isnt that a 50lb clutch stock?Then they take and swap a cobra 2 clutch,
from one of the slowest cobras ever made.0-60 was 10.5 seconds on those things!


Yes I have my flame suit on,Im practically the Human Torch in this thread!

it's usually the ones who lift themselves up who fall the hardest. You say you're humble, but I have to disagree.

With your obvious narrow mind and bad attitude, I don't think anyone could convince you that a Cobra is fast even with a rocket strapped to it. I won't take your bait and reduce myself to an e-fight with you. So I'll just once again say "Nice kill" and let you continue to enjoy your bliss.
