Default Got my first kill

I have had my car for about 2 months. I have being itching to race ANYTHING. This morning I got my chance. I was heading to work after I dropped my dog off at the vet. It is right in the middle of rush hour traffic on I-40. I am merging on to the highway and look to the left and see a 92 Crustang Slowbra. I get on it to get beside him and too my delight he throws a rev and me. I am thinking FINALLY!! There is a little traffic in front of us so we can't do anything for a minute. Then 2 lanes open up for about 1/8 of a mile. He kicks first and gets maybe a car length by the time I kick it. We are going about 60 when we start. By the time I get to 110 I have already made the distance up and put 2 cars on him. We ran into a wall of traffic and his lane opened first so he kicked it again but my exit was coming up so I couldn't bust his *** again. I know he had an exhaust but I am not sure on any other mods. I can't remember if that body style is slow like the others. Anyway I got my firs kill!!!

Cobras weren't made until '93. Not that it was anything special anyway, nice kill!
