Default Srt Neon good bye, 03-04 Cobra holy s***

Left work on Saturday night, spotted an srt neon, wasnt going to race him, but he was provoking the situation so i figured what the heck never raced one before. Light turned green before we could make it to the light went from a 10mph roll probably took him by two cars or so. Next race from a dead stop, neck and neck till second put about 2 cars on him. I could tell he had a blow off valve but who knows what else. Cool little cars, wish I could afford another toy
I would get one for my winter vehicle. Feeling good about the kill, was on the expressway headin home when I pass a 03-04 cobra, he didn't hesistate one bit
to start a race. I could tell he had exhaust and I knew it probably wasn't going to be pretty but I thought ok. I downshifted into 2nd and hammered it, he stayed on the side of me like he wasn't even trying. Then all of the sudden i hear his car get loud and he took off like a bat out of hell. I would say he put about 2 bus lengths on me. I had my 300lb. buddy with me but i know that really wouldn't of mattered anyway. All i have to say is, its time to start modding.

Maybe he was a KB car with electric cutouts...I always wanted to do that, put cutouts on my 5.0 and open them up when I nail it

I hope not considering cutouts actually kill power for Cobras.

Whoa...I don't have anything for your ride if you're running that fast.
Remember that my car is purely a daily driven street car...even
in the snow. There aren't too many 8 and 9 second cars driven
in the Michigan winter. I'm expecting to do really well this spring
though. I'll PM you when I get some new times.

I can see it now, just reading you guys running 9's and better, my Cobra is going to turn into a no ac, mini tubbed, auto twin turbo track only car. I can see it already. Then I will still have a $500 payment. I gotta get a grip. Off topic I know!

yea its so true though, once you start modding its like crack, you cant stop. Thats why you see so many heavily modded cars for sale on this site, people just go to far and forget their goals and end up being unhappy with the results.
