Default got owned

I was gettin on the highway tonight and there is this 03/04 cobra gettin on as well a couple cars ahead of me. I get on, and see he is doing to speed limit(55). I pass him cruising at 65. I had the cutout open so it was fairly loud. I get back over in the right lane and i see him come up from behind like 3 cars. he pulls up next to me, I rev, and we hit it. Need less to say, as the title says, I got owned. I knew I would but I wanted to hear the s/c. Not every day I get to hear an 03' cobra at 65, in third gear, mashin it to WOT. I'm an m6, stock with a cut out. Then we get off at the same exit and he stops at the Ford dealership, I guess to look at the new GT's?? why would he do that if he has a cobra.

Maybe he wanted to check out the GT 500s. Saw one of those on the street the other day and damn did it sound and look impressive, blue with the white stripes. Anyway theres no shame in losing, unless of course you run your mouth about how uber your car is and then lose in front of everyone, so nice death.

Man, I remember the first time I saw an 03 Cobra run right past my brothers LS1. Yellow Cobra w/4 people in it. Thats when I decided I wanted a Cobra. Good death man, just a few mods and you wont have a problem.

^^^^if i went ford i think i'd go for the mach 1. i just think they look alot cooler with the shaker scoop. but i don't think i've ever seen an '03-'04 cobra in person, so maybe they look cooler in person too.

I owned both at the same time......look at my sig to see which one I kept. It all comes down to personal preference.

Nice death on the OP.

And as for it 'breaking' while racing...more than likely he was already headed that way. You know, he could have actually worked there.
