Popped my Cherry
Tonight was the first time i had ran at the strip. Took my friend for Vids and pics. Had a blast i wish i wouldve went sooner. Actually managed to beat a SVT Cobra. Wouldve beat a lt1 z28 but my clutch slipped baaad going into third and it was my first run ever. Slips and vids will be up for haters. Also, idk why but im trapping insanely low with a decent 60 foot time? any advice?
Lt1 z28- 14.21 at 100.27 Me- 15.04 at 98.47 60ft 2.39 (clutch slip baad in third)
Evo 8- 11.45 at 123.26 Me- 14.37 at 100.00 60 ft 2.35
Evo 8- 11.13 at 122.67 Me- 14.69 at 99.28 60 ft 2.56
SVT Cobra- 14.53 at 109.25 Me- 14.39 at 99.73 60 ft 2.32
I think my 60s were decent for my first time. Have to wait till spring but then ill have TVS 2.7 meth, and other things
Im running 2.9 60's, pacesetter header 3 inch dp and catback with a massive leak as you will be able to hear.

i listend a couple times, didnt sound like he let off, seems legit to me. However something is up with those times...he got off the line faster and had a faster trap speed and you finished first? He must have missed 2nd gear...either way a win is a win. Thats how i was able to beat a mustang saleen bushing 481whp.....200whp more then me

umm.. he missed second gear dude.. the car launches like a **** and beat's you outta the whole BAD and you catch him by the end of 2nd.. he missed a gear and the motor was still revving.. tis why it did not sound like he let off..

no, his exhaust note goes waaaaaaaaaaay down. you would def be able to hear it even over yours if he had kept in it. here.

well yeah obviously he took the green light. i've taken lights on c6's, all years of gtos, a 406ci elcamino, procharged camaro, etc... doesn't mean i'm faster than all of them though. just means i'm good at .00X lights, that and they may have made a mistake during the run, had trouble with traciton..all sorts of things. and the excuse of "oh well his times all day were right around that" okay cool, still doesn't help anything though, you can make consistant mistakes and have times so close it looks like nothing is wrong. all i'm saying is that i wouldn't go around bragging that you can beat cobras.
especially ones trapping 109 and only hitting 14.5, a 109 trap in a rwd is a mid 12 son.

If you are racing for pinks or racing for money and you missed 2nd gear are you going to say "oh i win because my car is still faster, the fact i missed 2nd doesnt count" No...a win is a win, he beat the cobra...props to him.

i never bragged about beating one, i said i beat one. The owners face said it all when i pulled out of the park, he wasnt very happy.
that evo 8 was nasty. The second race he gave me atleast 6 cars and still blew by me like i was standing still.

That cobra left on you hard and seems like he couldn't get it in 2nd ....then ended up in 3rd or 4th gear........It's lugging and he carries the same gear from about 330 ft to the end

Guys! Chill the **** out....
He said he beat the cobra in the vids. There is proof. So what if the guy missed second or didn't. So what if it's not the typical outcome. He's not stating he's faster than most or all cobras. Just the one he raced.
