If they couldnt' be in the right gear, change gears, or go WOT.....it's their fault,a nd shouldn't ahve raced.
If you post a kill and say: "I know the car I raced was faster, but he didn't know how to drive." That would make sense and would be a nice story. The point would be, that you beat a person who didn't know how to drive, but you still won. (doesn't mean your faster)

I had no idea there was a 1,000 pound dif. between the 2, I always thought the cobra was around 3,600 or 3,700 at worse. That def. make's more sense, excuse my ignorants on these muscle cars, but a 1000 pound weight dif. would def. need around 100 more whp to make for a decent race.

Fadi, I may get one this spring/summer just for something different to drive. I like the look of the car and cheap to mod.

Is there still gonna be a cobra version of the car coming out? I thought that car was practically the cobra, maybe not by name but doesn't it come with the symbol?
