Default Quick work of a 98 Cobra

Well I figured the weather was finally nice enough to get the beast out of hibernation so I pulled the Z out on sunday and took my gf to go see my new apartment. On the way there a guy in a 98 Cobra meets me head on and whips a U out of nowhere and comes chasing me. He gets up next to me and I see he has a carload of girls with him, prolly trying to show them how tough his car is. I figured what the hell, there's nothing better than rubbing it in someones face when they're trying to show off. We get side by side at about 40 mph and by the time I ran it through second in a portion of third he was back at my rear bumper and quickly losing ground. He tried the same a few more times but still the same turnout. I hate racing in town so I braked pretty quickly but it would have been much worse if I hadn't let off. My gf was pointing and laughin at him which made it even better. He just kept staring at me with a wierd *** look Finally like a crazy man he went flyin by me and passed a truck in a no passing zone going around a sharp corner and I never saw him again. Car was def modded, almost as loud as mine and it seemed pretty snappy. Sadly enough this was more action than I had all of last summer. Hopefully it's a good sign of what's to come!!!

You know, he prolly thought to hisself "**** I dun put me so much money into my cobra there ain't no way he can take me, yeehaw!"

And then you shattered his world.....muwhahahahahahahhah

Cobra's are nice but I don't like the sn95 style. The gt's of that era are super slow.
