I was own my way home when i saw 3 cars trying to race. One sti,one new 05 gt and one sc cobra but they didn't race cuz of the traffic. At the light the guy in the sti told me they were going to race on Beach blvd toward Huntungton Beach so I was like ok let me go get my cobra. The guy in the sti didn't believe that I was going to Huntington Beach so suddenly he revs at me and all i know I was in 4th gear at 40 mph downshifted to 2nd and then 3rd by the time I was in 4th gear I put 1 car lead. I was so proud of my supra cuz the sti wasn't stock he had at least a catback. I put the lexus afm and 550 injectors today so i was at 15 psi without fc.
sti vs my supra

Man the '03 cobra is the supercharged version that runs low low 13s bone stock and has 390hp and 390lb ft tq. With minimal mods they can become low to md 12 sec cars easily. It seems kind of far fetched that you would beat one with just a catback, dp, and hardpipes. Plus in your sig it says you have a maft, who would rather install a lex afm over that?
Edit: after reading your story again, who did you race the sti or the stang?

He raced the STi.
The Maf and translator are on his "Not installed" list.
Good kill btw. Those STi's are damn fast.

My 04 cobra has only a few mods jlt cai, magnaflow ctaback with magnapacks and soon 2.80 pulley with 100mm idler custom tune.I hope close to 500rwhp.
Good kill, STI's do haul some ass!:icon_razz Just think, you could make your Supra faster than your Cobra, and more dependable as a DD!:biglaugh:

Ah that makes much more sense. As far as the lex thing, he said that he just installed the lex and 550s in his post. Thats why I was like why would you do that instead of installing the maft. I figued he had just done it that day
wait you just sold the supra. i was just going to ask if you wre referring to huntington beach on long island. im about 20-30 min from there
