Default Another snake dead

On my way home from Hooters I noticed this clean lookin, drop top cobra. From what i could see it was lowered and had Flows. We glance at each other a couple times and then he starts hop'n at me to look bad in front of his girl. btw this was a 01 im sure because it had a spoiler, anyway i get tired of watching him show off so i tell him after 3 honks drop it. 1-2-3 we both drop it off a 40 punch and right off the start this guy had no chance. I beat him by at least 3-4 cars, bad enough to make him take a right at the next light and embareass him in front of his girl. No biggie not like it was an 03 or somethin just a good kill on a beautifull day.

No way a Ford can put out more than 320hp.

Man, nice kill... way to make him look bad in front of his girl ... Unit, surely an 01 cobra isnt 3 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile than an 03, stock for stock... Not all 03 cobras run 10 seconds in the 1/4, "stock"
