Sooo last night, I was cruising around heading to target to try and find a movie to buy. Me and a buddy were just jamming to some music as we were driving down the road. About 500feet ahead of me, I saw a TA (WS6) pull out onto the street. I didn't think much of it until I got closer to him. He had exhaust for sure but im not sure of the other mods. It definitely sounded sexy as hell though.

Anyways, right when I got next to him, i dropped down to second and just yanked it. We both came up to a red light and rolled down our windows. I knew we were about to throw down lol. Mind you, i haven't street raced in probably a year and a half or so. I am just over the whole street racing thing and dont care to do it anymore. But, i was looking forward to this.

When we pulled up next to each other, I totally knew in my mind I was going to lose, it was a WS6 with a nice sounding exhaust and im sure the mod's didn't stop there. I was just looking for some fun, i didn't care if I lost. So we rolled the windows down, and I told him the car sounded good. He was probably a 30 year old guy and he just replied "hope your fast..." with a smirk on his face. So we both expected him to beat me.

Anyways, i was asleep when the light turned green. He took off a split second before me, but I nailed my launch and jumped on him, getting about 2-3 cars ahead. It was pretty funny because he was way behind me when I finally let out. My turn was coming up so I jumped on the brakes. He just yelled something out of the window as he passed me. I am assuming he lit up his tires because I still believe that car should have left me.

Oh well, I was proud. Im sure he had quite a bit of power on me but to bad he can't launch. I would have probably lost if it was a better driver.

Cobra > TA :D

i would obviously post vids if I had one.

With your motor and mods your probably not any more then 25 hp behind him.

I held a WS6 up to about 130 before. That's with a bolt on npi, gears and exhaust.

Yes, the WS6 trans ams aren't EXTREMELY unbeatable fast. Bolt-on Gt's should be able to handle them, and if a bolt-on Cobra can't handle a stock one... then that's sad.

Of course, no one can actually beat the LS1.

im not saying they are unbeatable cars... im just saying looking at this car and hearing it, definitely sounded far from stock. i didn't hear a cam or anything but the car sounded stout and i would guess it had more than just exhaust.

i know a few people with WS6's and they are powerful cars with minimal mods. i just expected it to beat me was all.
