Anyway since I had about 500-600 extra pounds in my car when I lanched the clutch slipped so bad but even though it slipped I took the guy till around 85-90 then let off and let him pass. So thats my proof that over powerd rwd cars kind of suck in my book oh yeah he had himself and his 100 pound girl friend in there.
You talking Mustang, or Shelby Cobra replica? If it was a Mustang, chances are it was a "fake" cobra... like a GT w/ cobra badges and stuff (*cough* Autin... rims.... *cough* ). Most real Mustang Cobra owners don't race cuz they're old men... lol. On the other hand, a Shelby Cobra has a ton of power/torque, but crap for traction (by today's standards). Usually a Subaru will take a Cobra off the line, but get eaten up by the high-end of the Cobra's V8. (Actually that's true for Mustang Cobras too....)

Just a reminder, for those who haven't noticed the threads out there about the kid that just killed himself street racing his RSX..... keep it on the track!! The chance of "massive head trauma, resiprators and finally death" aren't worth finding out who's faster on the street when the same test could be run at a strip.
