i was down at woodward last night around 1:00 and my friend is letting me take his 97 Cobrahh for a cruise, so we pull up next to the new gto a prowler is next to him and a trans am is next to him so were take up 4 lanes, this guys starts talking mad crap his gto was completly stock , he tries to tell him that it just beat the new Zo6 , so we all set up the light goes green i take off and i smoke him all through 1st and second , when shifting into third i miss (those mustang 3rd gears suck) but even when i missed and finally got it in i was still ahead maybe half a car length. he pulled up at the next light and claimed i had nitrous.lol wow. o yea and the prowler and ta had nothing on us, but i wanted to know if anyone the quater mile on the new gto??/
I've seen one run a 14.3
Watch out on Woodward man...the cops are starting to issue tickets for racing. With the Dreamcruise next weekend, they can't have anything going on to tarnish its image.
yea i know 2 of my friend were issued tickets this week one got a 9 point drag racing ticket and the other got off with a bsl , no pints just a 120 $ fine, i just couldnt pass it up with this guy talking all this trash . but i am watching my back
hmmm...
the great karnak says....
"a locked thread"
......
question?
"what am i reading?"
He said he went through thrid, which is more than legal speeds.
REGARDLESS: HE STATED HE WAS RACING... PERIOD... to 15mph is STILL STREET RACING. IT is still a display of power, or a contest of speed. Quit now, while you are ahead.

This thread has turned gay
the 97 cobra realy should get it's ass whooped by the gto
The first GTOs (04 or whenver) had something like 350hp and ran low 14's which is pathetic for that much power. The new ones (05?) have around 400hp and run low 13's. I know a guy with a 96 cobra that ran 13.6 all stock with factory tires. Its pretty much a drivers race. If it was an early GTO, the cobra definately had the advantage
ok this race was not bs so shut up , i have plenty of other witnesses down at woodward who who also say i beat them all. and yea i did miss third but i was a good amount ahead it didnt matter and i still got it into third pretty quick just not as i wanted , and yea i didnt know you couldnt post about drag racing until i posted and then saw the sticky, im sorry it wont happen again, my fault for being a failure.it was the new gto but the cobra isnt stock either, i mean for exhaust and intake
im not tryin to start anything, but i agree with CSVT99 and im gonna say it would of had to be the 04 GTO cause the 97 cobra with intake and exhaust would get walked by the 05...unless he really really couldnt drive...but just my .02
FYI, yes...i have driven both cars
yea the 97 stock will run a 13.49 no problem not saying intake and exhaust do alot but it helps
