Talking Trans am vs "cobra"

Well coming home from my sisters house a mustang that had cobra emblems came up and threw a rev. So when we came up to a red light I told him lets go! Light turned green and we take off and we were fender to fernder through out 1st. The minute I hit 2nd I pulled hard and steadily. I only took it to about 90 and shut down. I talk to the guy and he said that he had intake and exhuast and a tune. I told him I was stock and the look on his face was priceless. Also he had 22's so I know that didn't help him.It was fun puppy kicking.

Nice kill. It must have looked hideous on 22's. Time to get an LS6 intake and LT's!

If he had 22;s he may have had the bad taste to "add" Cobra emblems also. I suspect even an 01 would have put up a better fight.

Well it wasn't a termi and if it was a gt he sure as hell invested alot of $$$ to make it look like a cobra. It had the front and rear bumpers and the hood. Not sure what it was but it was slow as ****! This weekend I'll be installing the LS6 intake with the LTs and a tune. If it was real or fake it was my first snake kill.

If it was "slow as ****" it probably wasn't a snake.

A badged up V6 "GT 500" parked next to me at Lowes once. It happens with kids sometimes.

Yeah that looks like a Saleen which is even slower than a GT IIRC due to the weight, the S281 anyway. Add some 22s and you have yourself a high 14 seconds car.

Then that explains why it was a cow! I'll tell you one thing someone spent $$$ on the rear bumper that said cobra in big black bold letters!
