A Venom-less Cobra...
I smoked this mofo' ya'mean...!!
Yeah right... actually it was quite the opposite... but I did perform much better then I expected! I was ironically on my way from an interview with a Pharmaceutical company- of which- if I get another ticket... I'll be ineligable to work for them...
...and well... as I was merging onto I94, coming from the Detroit Airport Merriot... I pulled on the highway immediately behind a Mustang SVT...
I preceded to drop to 4th and pull around him into the faster lane... and this must have lit a small fire in his panties... b/c he hopped on my ass like Michael Jackson with Jesus Juice...!!
I continued to jog upto about 100 every opening, but never had much of a chance to get side by side... at one point however- I got stuck behind the slow vehicle which allowed him the opportunity to pass... I merged behind him... saw that the car in front was about to slide out of our way... dropped to third at 70mph as fast as I could... and we were OFF!!!
I saw the smoke come from his pipes as he went hard from 3rd to 4th (man- those things have to shift MUCH faster then I thought!) and I managed to stay with 2 cars of him before we hit traffic again at about 120!!
Moral of the story... I'm still wonder if I'm chipped! Now I've smoked an EVO, and did not get pulled on by a 2003 Cobra as bad as I expected!!
damn damn damn damn damn... ...I'll NEVER know the truth!!

The '04's are 340hp STOCK!! but they are naturally aspirated- like the s2000 so it's tough to get much more out of them without givin' up your first born...
How was your trip?

Ha! The smoke.
Damn, I remember when I had my Cobra, I had that damn smoke come from my exhaust when I dropped some gears and took her to redline. Never knew if the smoke was a normal thing or not. Only happened once though.
So btw, how do you know it was a 03+ and not a 02? 03+ are supercharged and they put down around 380HP to the wheels, if I am not mistaken. They -are- underrated.
Either way, S4 is a pretty quick car too. My boss has an RS6 - sick car. Audi can make nice sleepers
