Default raced a 02+? cobra

which ever is supercharged...

anyway, was heading home from eating. (buca di beppo's )
and passed a cobra... as soon as i did that he jumped up and started pacing me.. i didnt bite because i was talking to g/f and she HATES it when i race ppl when we are talking.. so he kinda lost interest.. and got alittle behind me..after a alittle while i got on it a bit ... he immediately got right to my side again.. we both downshifted.. and took off a bit before i did, but it wouldnt have mattered.. he put so many cars between us.. i shut down after about 5 seconds... anyway this was my first encounter with a supercharged stang..i knew what to expect, but just wanted to see anyway lol... happy driving!

cliff notes: i lost.

It was an 03-04 Cobra.

"One of those, I know I'll get beat but let's see by how much races."

Hey, it's the thought that counts right?

What I love about our cars is 2.0 or 2.2L 4 cylinder engines and we can run decently with those big boys on the highway. On the road course or the twisties we hold our own or spank them. He just beat you in what he is good at...straight away speen and HP. Good Death!

i raced on in my six speed accord, he couldnt catch traction till about 60 when he showed me tailights and proceeded to put about 3 or 4 more cars on me in about 3 or 4 seconds. all i heard was a roaring v8 and whining supercharger i was traumatized.

Yeah....if you consider a couple buses decent.

My 03' Cobra trapped 88-89 mph in the 1/8. My EVO with all my mods an pump gas doesn't even trap that. It's close, but still my stock Cobra was faster than my modded EVO.
