I was over at a local DD tonight and there was a little mustang meet going on. I pull up in the ty to meet one of my friends who owns a mustang and hangs out there every once in a while. I dont park next to them but i walk over to talk to my buddy and everyone stares at me. There is a kid about my age (18 or 19) who drives an 03 cobra convertable who i see around town quite often. Im not sure if he knows what im driving but if i ever catch a light with him what do you think my chances are?
What are my chances?

If you're talking about your modded ty I'd say it would be real close from a stop.

from a dig if you launch good you'll get a few cars but he'll swing by you real good if he can shift at all.. those terminators are mean cars
buddy has an 04 that runs consistent 11.66's in the quarter.. steeda cai, short throw shifter, mt dr's, smaller pulley and pms is all he has done.

X2. Ive raced a few Cobras. A couple with DR's and a couple w/o. There is a guy here with DR's that usually passes me at around 85/90mph. Havent raced him in a while though. I raced one somewhat recently too that had street tires and by the end of the 1/4 I had a solid 5/6 cars on him. Of course he complained about traction but hey, thats his problem right?

You should be able to take him out from a stop light, but it really depends on if your Ty is running to its potential. The other persons driver skill will play a part in the race as well, many people non experienced racers suck at getting good time from high pwoered rwd vehicles.

Running strong is a judgement call, how does it look on scan tool at WOT? what does it run at the track? I can't tell you how many people think their SyTy is running strong only to find that they are running far slow than they think. The torque of these trucks is deceiving.

Re: What are my chances?
My sy could beat stock ones with free mods only. But it was within a fender length and my sy was kind of a freak of nature as far as good running stock trucks it seemed like. If he has any mods he'll give you a run so keep the race down to maybe 1/8th mile where you're the strongest.

Re: What are my chances?
and for christ sake, don't race him from am roll... everybody wants to run from a roll!! gayest shit ever plus those terminators are monsters from a roll... I say only chance to win without bitting your nails to the very end is if the kid is a complete tool buy racing you from a dig without dr's

Re: What are my chances?
I'll never race anyone from a roll. Im not a big ran of street racing anyway. The only time i do is when im out with one of my friends and were stopped at a light.
Im down if anyone wants to get together to crash their meet one day. One of my friends is active on a f-body forum and im sure they would want to join too. I bet you could get some money out of them :tup:
