Made a new Cobra owner unhappy... ___So I pull out of my driveway and wait on a side street for an approaching black car to go by before I pull out on the highway. Hmmm... nice black new Cobra. Young guy driving with a bro... They look at me and make a sneering face. Okaaaaaeee, says I. The road is a rural highway that has a small 35 mph thru our hamlet, then opens up to 55mph right away. I pull out behind the Cobra just in time to see my next door neighbor, a City cop, give me the motion to stomp the gas. He's so cool, lol... Anyway, about this time, the Cobra drops the hammer and races away. My motor is still stone cold so I just gently snick the gears till I lazily reach 55mph. I'm mumbling to myself, "if my motor was warmed up, I'd show you, you little..." and stuff like that. Lol..
____ So, after about 4 miles, I see him up in front of me. He's going 45 in the 55... hmmm.. Nice of him
So I pull in behind him as we round a bend to a 2 mile straight away. No cars coming. I downshift to 3rd , put on my signal and pull out from behind him, just as he hits it. I was beside him at the top of 3rd gear and flying away as 4th gear got boost. I pulled back in front of him after I had 3 car lengths and let off till I got back down to 55 and put on the cruise control. He got on my bumper for a bit after that but either he or his co-pilot decided it wasn't worth pursuing so they pulled off.
I love my car

Thanks, I have a city cop on one side(his dad is a state trooper too) and a Sheriff on the other side. They all give me a hard time because most times they drive by, they see my legs sticking out from under the car. They've all said at one time or another, "Do you ever actually drive the car?"

No, unfortunately 
I didn't head out with the intent to get into a contest. I gotta get a "GoPro Motorsports" and keep that thing ready. Right now, all I have is a conventional handheld video cam. Not the hot ticket with a 650 rwhp six speed car You run out of hands pretty quickly.

Thanks Yeah, my car is pretty much a sleeper. I just recently added ZR1 wheels after 15 years of Salad Shooters Nothing on the exterior says anything. The exhaust note, because of the low compression and turbo specific cam, sounds almost lazy at sub 3K RPMS. But when it gets into boost, wow... it's the biggest grin generator.
I have some better heads and a ported intake I'll be putting on in the next week or two.

Oh I never take the bait when my neighbor tries to goad me. I'd gladly let HIM drive and try what ever he wants but me? Nah.. I have been on the wrong side of jail bars a few times for driving crazy. But that was when I was a teen or early 20's.
Nice kill
