Why is this video labled cobra hahaha? First, that guy had to be running very low boost because NO wrx can keep up with my cobra like that. There would be no chance in hell. Even when the rx7 did cruising speed and let the cobra and wrx go at it, i wasnt impressed on how the cobra flew by. Good races though.

Well first of all both these guys should have their cars impounded. You do NOT do this in traffic like that.
Second, I would like to know what that WRX had done to it and also the Cobra. It seems to me the Cobra would have been better off with just turning up the boost on the factory SC. For a twin turbo I would expect more out of it. Maybe it was not tuned or leaking some air from the ductwork joints.
Good vid though, it was a close contest. I would have liked it better though without all the traffic interference and fly-bys, I do not approve of this at all.

The reason this is posted and I am laughing about it is because someone e-mailed me and said he wanted to race me. I don't know if it came from this forum or not but whatever this car is a joke maybe a high 11 at its best.

Why do you take everything that people say about mustangs on this site so serious? You know it is called

That freeway looked very familiar......ummmm, I think it may have been on a stretch heading westbound on HWY 580 leaving Pleasonton and heading towards Haward. Good runs.

Daym, I thought I recognized that stretch of road. I agree they should have been busted for the in traffic racing and in a construction zone to boot!
As far as the cars? they could have had some mods who knows????

Racing in traffic like that is a big no-no. Still without knowing the mods on both cars its hard to judge. Cobra had the edge though.

Those guys are tools! Making everyone on the freeway slow down behind them while they line up and then whizzing by while racing, etc. I mean, how hard is it to find a safe place to run...really? Idiots.

What the hell was that Cobra running, 3 psi's of boost? I've read that Turbocharged Cobras usually run in the 800 rwhp levels.

i have never seen a WRX hang with something that should be well over 600rwhp even on low boost.

Frankly, I don't think either one of them could drive worth a flip and where they were racing is very unsafe.

damn mean little WRX to hang with a Twin Turbo Cobra. Probably a nice little weight difference between the two cars which definetely helped the WRX in the race

I have an 2003 Cobra that pulls harder and is making less than 500rwhp. There must have been something wrong with the car.

Even from a video, that cobra is making plenty more than a 500rwhp one.
