Last night I raced an 03 cobra convertible. He wouldnt go from a stop mind you, so these are from about 38-40 mph roll. The first race, I should have been in second, but I started in 3rd. He pulled a couple cars and then held steady. That was my fault completely. The 2nd race was perfectly started and fair in everyway. In the second race we held even. In the video you will see that it looks like I am starting slightly ahead, I am not though. Its just the camera angle, I dont know why it looks like that.

Also, The cobra wasnt completely stock. Exhaust with no cats, cold air induction, and 315 width drag radials. I belive he had it retuned also. So not heavily modded by any stretch, but still not stock.

a properly driven cobra would have no problem with a properly driven evo, stock for stock, from a dig or a roll
a cobra can hit 12.5 bone stock, while the evo is in the mid 13's...cobra also traps higher
you guys go too much on urban legends....sure, a cobra doesn't launch as well as an evo, but it's not that hard to cut 1.8, 1.7, and 1.6's with properly heated nittos

Thanks for all the information. I am having my new cams installed this week. Going with the GSC 272/264 set-up with a retune on the ECU. I think it should be a close race with the cams. I am looking for the 12.4-12.6 range after the install. I will post up the results if I can get this guy out to the track.

Guys,
Got the new cams and reflash in on Friday. Good god this thing is fast. I think he is toast. Hopefully he will be coming out to our EVO met at SAR this coming up Friday.
