The car was clean before the 7 hour drive. It's a little dirty, but this color doesn't show dirt badly at all.

Good enough to bring it down to you guys. :lol:

I have a couple other things that need addressed as well (fuel level balloon thingy got stuck I guess?) I'm gonna have some fun with it for right now, and if you guys have room, drop it off next wednesday.

Yeah, the Cobra is alot different then any car I've had. I can't even begin to compare it anything.

I feel the same way about owning it as I did about my 'vette. It's nice to have a "baller" car again, and this one is fast :bigthumb

Nice ride Mike. I wont be lineing up next to you anytime soon. So I guess you will be spending more time over here than on CSS. The last time I was on there under the alias of Big Dick Cadillac Daddy most guys were trashing the mustangs.

CSS is my home base for sure. Everyone has been very into the Cobra so far.

Good run. I was looking foward to running him myself, if I'd just quit working on a Buick I could have my Cutlass ready. :lol: owell.

How was he after the race? :D


So this video was in the LS1 Rx7? Whats your car run MPH in the quarter?

Cool, must be a quick car to put it all over John like that. Any #'s (mph or whp) on the Cobra?

It was really pretty well matched till the neon's shift, then goodbye. I guess he was having some sort of issue with it fallign on its face during that shift, no idea.

That is true, after a second watch. I beleive John is easier shifting then some peeps in the srt's, but then again his trans will last longer doing that. :bigthumb

Don't let him hear you say that. He is really trying to speed shift that thing as fast as he can. Some have it, some don't. LOL.

My car held fine through 3rd gear, and for some reason on the 3-4 shift, the car doesn't go into boost for about 10 seconds.. It just does nothing. I'm not sure if it's the tune, or the boost controller.. I'm going to play with it this weekend since I'm off and try to get it fixed, and try and get a clean run..

But on a sidenote, I absolutely love this car. It's bad ass.. I'm jealous.. Makes me want to make the switch.. Driving home last night, people would stare hardcore at him, and ignore the Neon.. I need a baller ride, I guess a quick Neon just isn't cool :(

And thanks for posting those videos Kevin.. I'm sure your car would look like mine did if we raced, except it won't be because you're car is jacked up.. So anytime you're ready, let me know..

I respect the Neons for being as fast as they can be for being a 4 cylinder, but they'll never be a roots blown 32 valve RWD Cobra, even if someone manages to make a Neon faster.

Honestly, power-to-weight ratio of my Cobra and Woofers Neon is just about spot on. (Neon - 2850lbs/443whp, Cobra - 3650lbs/585whp)

I agree I like the Cobra more than his, or my old Neon, but it's also almost twice as expensive lol. So I would sure hope it would be the better car.

Either way, waffles car is very impressive, and we actually raced again with him NOT on the D/R's, and the 3-4 improved (Not fixed, just better), and we held very good. The first race from 60, I got real cocky and left it in 3rd, and he pulled. The rest of the races, I'd say the Cobra has slightly better top end (once the Neon hits 5th @ 130), but nothing was drastic at all.

Either way, I'm just excited to start racing people that aren't my good friends lol. Noone else will race us though!

The Cobra will hopefully be MD tuned on a couple more PSI, and I'm sure Jons Neon can up it a little too!

Side note, is anyone going to the car show this Sunday at QS&L? Tony told me to go, so I'll hopefully be cleaning my car Sunday morning, and seeing if anyone likes the pumpkin.

I'm just sayin...maybe i'm biased but to me the '03-04 is among the sickest Mustangs ever built (and i'm a huge fan of the classics so it's not because it's new or anything).

I didn't mean disrespect or anything about the Neon...granted they sure as hell aren't for me, i just wouldn't own a front wheel drive car with performance in mind no matter how fast it was. I really like the old Omni GLHS's but i still wouldn't want one....same goes with the Daytonas and Conquests etc.

I would race you but c'mon, my Merkur is maybe making 200rwhp...lol. With a 3'' exhaust, decent front mount, more fuel and boost it'll probably smoke the Mustang too.

I never did purchase a neon srt but I still have a spirit RT in pieces now. You did well getting the Cobra Mike. I hope it treats you right because it is a good feeling being able to get into a powerful car anytime you want and not worry too much about it breaking.

Thats why I bought it. I just wanted a turn-key, fast, fun, nice car. Hopefully this doesn't blow up and break my bank!

He's not saying your car is jacked up. He's saying his car is jacked up, and yours will just lose because it's slower(than Mike's) :flipoff:

Yeah Mike its always much nicer to buy something thats fast and fun pretty much right off the car lot or from a private owner than it is to have to start dumping tons of money and hours of labor in it to achieve it all on your own.
