Default Is that a real SS?

Just at a light right now and a yellow Cobra pulls up next to me and throws a rev. We're 5 cars deep, so there was no chance to run.
I roll my window and tell the guy "sweet snake."
Just as the light turns green, he looks over and asks, "is that a real SS?"
His expression changes as he hears the lope...
I reply, "yup"
Traffic begins to pull away and there's a nice huge clearing in front of his car in his lane. He asks, "what's it got?"
I reply... "Heads and Cam".....

...I then couldn't resist the opportunity and decided to fill the void in the lane in front of him, with car pulling sideways and 1st gear wailing. He pursues, but then turns off.

Oh well. Not a real kill, but was fun to see the look on his face as I pulled away.

I love that. I have people ask me all the time "dude, that's the WS6 right? OMG, that thing is badass. My buddy has a regular TA, you'd rip him apart ... WS6's are badass."

Yeah, people have no clue that the SS means very little if nothing.
I just thought it odd he would ask. Maybe his Cobra was fake?

No. it wasn't that blatant. If it was a fake, it was well done.

Yeah, I remember last summer when I waxed a guy in a "regular" m6 TA twice, his wife made the excuse, "But he has got Ram Air" some people don't have a clue.
