I'm looking at those pics you took and the 4th or 5th one where you show the speedo and tach of the cobra, something just doesn't look right to me..
Now you notice the speedo he is going about 60mph.. Then you take a look at the tach it is only reved to 3Krpms... If he was racing you at that time why would his tach be at such a low rpm???? My Mach1 has the same gear ratio in the tranny from 2nd-4th gear, and I know damn good that those cobras get out of 2nd gear at about 65+ mph with the stock 3.55 rearend gears.. Hell I get out of 2nd at about 65 with 4.10's in the rear... Well even if he started out in 3rd at that speed he would be taching around 4Krpms.. I know in my Mach I am taching around 4.3K rpms around 60-65mph So it looks like to me that he had it in 4th gear when you both took off... So I don't think he knows how to drive too much if he was accually racing you at that time... At least he doesn't know how to down shift his car one of the two.. That is just my observation I could be wrong but I don't think I am..

You guys tell me what you think..

Some folks can't drive. At 60 ya go to 2nd since it's good till 80. Obviously he was in 3rd either cause he can't drive or short shifted due to wheelspin, again, because he can't drive.

No....It was more like he was in 4th gear. The second time we raced he said he had it in 5th. Told him to put it in 3rd or 2nd at 40.
