Default death by '03 Cobra

i'm cruisin around on the local four lane, and come up on a blue cobra no traffic around so we're horseing around for a little bit. then we both agree to go from a 30mph roll. well i'm driveing really well and sticking right with him until about 70 when he slowly starts pulling (damn blower) we shut down at 100-105. he put 1/2-1 car on me. after we shut down i ask him if he wanted to pull over and talk, so we do. i told him my mods and he said he had exaust and a programmer. both of which we're installed by the first owner. i was really proud of myself and my car and loved seeing demonstration of true american muscle!

Much worse.

Nice death though. You may be able to take him with your mods if you were to race again.

yep, cam or 4:10 gears are calling me big time! its sad that soon as he starts modding i'll never touch him (with a reasonable amount of $) but hey, your never gonna be the fastest guy around. but my plans are a fresher shortblock(mine has too many miles to spray safely), cam and N20. i'd be getting a cobra right now but i have to pay for four years of college, so it might be a few years before i can afford one.
