Default Yet another "I beat a Cobra thread."
I was looking for a Cobra and one found me. It was the naturally aspirated version not a Terminator, sadly, for him. The guy was pacing me and I guess he thought I was easy pickings. Bad news for him. I dropped to second and we lined up. He got the jump and I got into mine. At about 5000 rpms I broke traction so I had to short shift but I was all ready 2 cars up on him. The race ended with me about 4 or 5 cars up and him beating on the steering wheel, I thought that was funny when I saw it in my mirror. He was pissed when he went by but I thought it was funny. I waved he just glared at me like it was my fault. Pretty lame kill but it was kind of funny. His car did sound good though so I'm guessing it was modded but I couldn't tell you what he had.

Somewhere between 93 and 99. I'm not real good with the differences between the years.

It could have also been a regular GT with Cobra badges if you beat it as bad as you say you did...
