Default Gotta love ricers.

I think I've been challenged by almost every ricer you can think of. And I'm talking about those ones that think an exhaust resonator and a CAI makes you F&F. I was just heading down the interstate, and as I came off the on ramp a Honda Si came speeding up on my tail. Revs his engine at me, so I drop it down a few, and take off. After hitting a point to where I feel there was a significant @$$ whipping, I let off and pull to the slow lane to get off at the next exit. About 1/2 mile from the exit, he pulls up next to me and I approach traffic, I let him pass, pull up behind him and we go again. After about a 1/4 mile of more *** whipping, I pull off and I'm sure he went home and told his buddies he beat a camaro, even though I drive a T/A. God I can't stand ricers...but regardless, I know who actually won the fight. I know it's not a big victory, but you take what you can get...right?

Maybe he'll tell his friends that he just got his clock cleaned by a badass Trans Am.

Not sure why he is a "ricer"? Besides owning a traditional ricer car? Sounds like he wanted to race and you beat him.

Any ricer fly-by's? Weaving in and out of traffic? Sounds like he took his beating like a man but wanted to keep trying. I can respect that.

A lot of Fobras out there. Usually a GT with Cobra badging. The quickest way to tell is the "Cobra" lettered bumper and Cobra Fender badges. Often Says "SVT" and "Cobra on trunk as well

The only exception to the "Cobra" bumper rule is the 99 Cobra...it says "Mustang".

I also have trouble finding people on the highway to make a short run against...except yesterday found an Impreza WRX to run

00 doesn't have COBRA and neither do 5.0 cobras.

Yeah should have specified SN-95 Cobras. The 2000 CobraR is so rare I left it out.

Again 1993 Cobras are not that common and Fox body style.

My statement holds for 95% of the Cobras people will see. Trying to simplify it a bit and not add in every exception.

Neither does '99, unless that's what you meant to say instead of '00.

Right here is a visual demonstration of a Mustang Ricer. He raced my wifes GMC Acadia Denali and lost to it. Twice. I had no choice but to follow him and get pics for you guys.

What you said was 99 and that is not a SN95. What I was talking about is the 94-95 which used a V6 rear bumper

No, the 00 Cobra had a V6 bumper that said MUSTANG.

There was a Cobra R in 2000
All 94-2004 are SN95 BUT 99-04 are further distinguished by being called New Edge Mustangs as well.

THEY ALL have the SN-95 Chassis.. You keep saying V6 Mustang Bumper covers but the V8 has cut-outs for dual exhaust unlike the V6.

94-95 Cobras did say Mustang but again so rare nowadays unlikely to see them as much as 96-2004

I was talking about what they are known as. You will never hear someone call a 03 Cobra a "SN95 Cobra".

No, if you go back and read.. what I said was the 94-95 Cobras had V6 bumpers and so did the 00 Cobra.

Just cruising around town I've seen 3 different 94-95 Cobras. They aren't that rare.
