My modded 3000gt vr4 vs. 03 cobra (near stock)

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you guys know that we over at 3si.org really appreciate your cars and I personally would like to say WOW . I have been building up my car for the past few months and went to the track yesterday. I met Colin with a 2003 mustang SVT cobra, near stock (new mufflers is it), and he was damn fast and a great driver to boot.

We became friendly because we were the only non-riced out/respectible sports cars there. I am car #36, he is #48

Boy was it hot outside.
about 80...so maybe 90+ at the track w/60% humidity.


My first run sucked---I missed 2nd gear, and then missed 3rd... I guess I was a bit nervous. LOL



2nd run
Still feeling out the launch and was really hoping to beat the cobra this time--NO MIS SHIFT is all i could think.
I did okay... but lost by .02 to the 03 cobra



3rd run--
still felt much room for improvement b/c i was hoping for 12.5 or lower...kept boost at 15psi but wanted to get a better 60' than 1.84




1.760 60' :-D :-D
Still much slower than I wanted, a bit disappointed but at least I know i can launch this ***** as good or better than most.



4th run--same thing as above




5th run ---best run----LOOK AT MY 60' TIME!!!!!!!!!!


last run i missed 2nd again and ran a 13.57 so i decided to go home.
Not too shabby for a 90-100 degree track although I was hoping for better.
Please feel free to comment !!! Suggestions?

vids--i don't know which is which to be honest..
