Sorry for the lame title but this weekend, I went highway racing with about 20 other cars for a good night of fun. :D We had Cobras, Corvettes, 600hp civics, all-motor Type-Ss, a new Cobalt SS Supercharged, supercharged civics, all really good stuff. Look for a video in the near future. (yeah right :lol: )

240 vs. supercharged B18c1 EK hatch:
this guy beat me last week and this week I got my revenge. Really good friend of mine so we are always going back and forth. lol 2nd gear from 50mph and I nosed him out barely. We are so even that each time we race it's a really good match.

240 vs. All-motor RSX-S:
Another all-motor RSX-S, but not as fast as the last one I raced. Again from 2nd at 50mph. I was able to slowly pull away before we cut off. Damn good race though. My car misfired like a bitch too. [ph34r]

240 vs. Cobalt SS:
I have so much more respect for these now that I have raced one. We were dead even. I think he had a pulley though because this thing was loud as hell!

Cobra vs. Saleen vs. Corvette:
I'll just add this one because the race was so mean. This silver Cobra did a wheelie on the highway! They want from 1st gear at like 20mph and the rear hit the ground. Crazy!

It rained the rest of the weekend so it was only a one night thing. Hopefully the snow will stay away for another few weeks so I can get some good footage and ACTUALLY load it onto the comp.

What were the mods to the Cobra? I've never heard of a rolling wheelie

I don't know but I heard the numbers and they were around 500+hp and 600lb.ft./torque

yea even in the 500/600 range it is very unlikey to see a wheelie from a roll.... but i dunno i guess anything is possible

if he had 5.13's, i could see it, but it seems very unlikely cuz you couldnt really use them unless you were 100% devoted to dragging on a track

He could have banzai'd the clutch....if you sticky enough tires, you should be able to drop from high rpm's.....my friend launches his bimmer from 4k+....I usually launch at 3k....but those modulars have the power up high so that would theoretically make sense. Just my thoughts

Damn edit time, I have heard of 600hp cobras with slicks do that feat...and the one I've heard about did it on factory IRS!!!!!!!

Idk its a tough call but last night at mir for imports vs domestics i saw a 5.0 do a wheelie let it down grab second and get back up which was crazy cuz it had sum serious hang time for 2nd gear and still managed like 9 sumthin in the 1/4.

Hell if you got the grip in the wheels to put the power down, there isn't any reason why not.

well an 03 cobra weighs almost 4k pounds..... i have watched many 500-600hp cobra's run on the street and at the track and none of em have done a wheelie. hell i even run a buddies 500 and something hp 03 cobra at the track and he doesnt even pop the front tires of the ground.




the only way i see this possible is if it was from a 10mph or less roll or dig...


i believe ya its just hard to believe. i think maybe he had more hp
