Default Cobra Kill.......

I was on my way to school last sunday night, and on the way I got pulled over by a cop for doing 13 over. As I swerved back into the lanes from the shoulder I noticed a 95-98 Cobra pass, it sounded wicked. I looked in the rear view mirror to see if the cop was behind me, he was, but he finally pulled off for his next victim. That was my signal to catch up to the Cobra, so i did. I pulled up next to him, and bairly eased the gas to let him know I was "Hungry"(Loudmouth). He did the same and i began to honk from three. When we took off, we were doing a steady 60-65, and we were dead even at first until I climed in the R's (273/Gear). Then I started to pull away, and when he shifted into his next gear, I started to leave him even worse. Well I was laughing and enjoying myself as I rolled into the slow lane in front of him. I guess he didn't recive a bad enough beaten the first race, so he pulled up next to me and slowed down to about 30. Well the little basterd did't even honk or nothing to acknowledge the race had started, so after he got about half a car length a head of me, I unleashed my wrath. For my car, racing at 30-35 would put a worse beaten on a 5 Sp. mustang, then from a dead stop. When my car jumped into second gear, i was already gaining, and when he shifted into third, I left him again. Don't you just love it when you look in your rear view mirror after a race, and see the car you just killed falling back until he hides behind traffic. He had it coming to him; I had my *** handed to me by an 04 Cobra on the interstate a few months ago, so I was looking for revenge.... (Not an 04 Cobra revenge thought)lol.

if youve got a helluva driver and a really prepped track... most wont even do high 13's. i used to hang out with a kid that had a 96, couldnt even break a 9.2 in the 1/8 mile. and he was modded.

I just have one snake...but it's real big.

Pre-03 Cobras can be real fast when heavily modded. They're nothing
special in stock form.

I hear your car is pretty quick, but why don't you ever post up any 1/4 mi times?

He's too emberassed to post his times because his car is slow. Crack 12's yet, "fatboy"

*attempting to draw Unit's et's out*




Yeah, we all saw that vid of you running that stockass vette at the track. Forget 13's, your prolly pulling 14's.

FATBOY??? I thought he was 6'7'' and only 240lbs, that sound about average for someone that height.

, well I gues your tactic might work better than mine.

I thought I read somewhere that UNIT had like 600 rwhp??? If that's true he shoild be one fast SNAKE.

Come on UNIT, there's no need to hide your timeslip, I think it will give some of us a piece of mind.

He has a KB 2.2 and NX, im assuming thats N20 prolly a 150 shot?? a 2.2 KB cobra w/bolt ons should be 600+the 150 shot (assumed) to the tires. That should be a VERY conservative 700rwhp for his car. His car tips in at about 4,000 with him assuming he is 240# so...plugged into a calculator based on many gross and presumptuous assumptions we get... 10.4 @ 130mph roughly. So UNIT, am I close???
