Default Killed a black snake from a roll- starting the year off right.

I'll try and keep it short and sweet. Since I got my Hookers/intake/TB installed I have been itching to get a little action with anybody, and on the way home from work last night I was trying to get a race with a stock looking 350Z who was acting a little ricey (flybys, fast passes, general dumbness)...

I turned off of Ogden Ave. onto Naper Blvd. going south to get a race with the 350- too much traffic so he turns off. I turn around to head back north on Naper and found myself behind a "terminator" at the intersection of Naper and 55th st. I pull up next to the Cobra and drop down into second at about 40, show him that I want to play, then I get on it briefly to see if he's game. He stomps on it too.

There's an explorer ahead in his lane, so we accelerate and pass, just in time for the road to straighten back out. We both slow, I hold at 4000 rpm and give the 3 honks and we're off. My car loses the *** end a little bit (well, maybe a lot bit-bald *** tires), then I hook and go. I take it to about 6k and hit 3rd, and by this time I'm about 1.5 cars ahead without much trouble. We come up on ogden and I get hot on the brakes and turn (gotta head home, getting late.)

Too bad the race wasn't longer, I think that it would have gotten ugly.

Nice kill, and your car puts down nice numbers. Any idea on the year of the Cobra?
