Cobra's are fast... A new edge mustang was on my "must race" list of vehicles.
I've already checked off a few.. But I would just be happy racing a GT.
Anyways, back on topic. I see a DSG Mustang up ahead. Its about 10:30 at night and the weathers perfect. I have my t-tops off, and I speed up to check this mustang out.
I get closer and see "COBRA" on the back bumper.
I didnt know how to play this off... Should I go up and try to be a man and see if he wants to play with my little old Bolt-on LS1? Or back off and save my dignity?
This thing was pretty loud too.. IDK much about them, but it definately wasnt stock!
I finally get up to his door.. Cobra owner looks over and smiles.. I'm sitting in my SS with a terrified look on my face, thinking to myself "WTF MIKE! Are you an idiot! ITS A ******* COBRA!!! You coulda just stayed back and kept your dignity.. But NO!"
We both slow down to 40.. He down shifts and I hear his supercharger scream.. Great! I'm racing a friggen jet!! I procede to downshift too, and he honks it off. I'm in second... By the top of second gear, he'd a solid 5 cars up. 3rd gear.. Another 5 or so cars (Its really hard to estimate when you're THAT far behind..), 4th.. Forget it. He was gone.
I felt like one of those ricers I lay the smack down on.
He slowed back down and we both give eachother a thumbs up. Cool guy.
I am wondering what is done to the car. I was walked pretty bad... I expected it from the beginning, but 15+ cars through 3 gears?
But anyways.. Note to self: Cobra's are fast!

It wouldn't take much for you to even the playing fields with Mr. Cobra.

You ran into a half *** decent one on the highway yet? I got a buddy with a ported/pullied Cobra.. Don't worry though, he only makes 515Rwhp/530Rwtq.. Only running bottom 11s @ 122+mph... Slow, right? You are calling Cobras slow but yet run BARELY faster than what a stock Cobra runs. Awesome man.

Why would you think that? His car makes what 350Rwhp? An average pulley Cobra is making 450+Rwhp. His car traps what? 110-112mph? Average pulley Cobra traps 118-122mph. So yes, a pullied Cobra could *** rape him that bad.
