Default 00 s2k vs 04 cobra

Um well, its not much of a story, but I was taking a left and he was takin a right onto the same road. We both turned when the light turned green. We roll onto the 2 lane one way, we both rip it, from 1st-2nd shift i was at about his door, then once he shifted, holy crap, well we shut down at about top of 3rd. Ive never had as much enjoyment losing a race as I did this time. Damn I love cobras, if only I had more money. Talked to the guy, stock, but doesnt matter, he still handed my berlina ass to myself. Yellow Vert, sooo hotttt.

Yeah, I got waxed by a cobra too. His was modded a bit and absolutely destroyed me. Kind of made me laugh.

Yeah...it was fast in a straight line, but once you two got onto a twisty road you would be way in front of him and he would be against a guardrail.

From what I read, cobra's (new ones) are pretty good handlers. Not s2000 good, but good. The straight line power more than makes up for the time loss on tight turns.
