Default 03 Cobra Vs GMMG Blackbird *Video*

Found some footage of a race last year where I killed my own car . The race is between my GMMG Blackbird and my buddies pullied 03 Cobra. He didn't feel comfortable racing me from a dig cause he spins real bad. So I drove his car and another of our friends drove my Bird.

Nice Kill/Death I guess.... Lol. ..But I would NEVER let someone else race my car. No matter how much I trust them. Ever!... That's crazy!

It was a Stage I Blackbird and well yes I did sell it for the STI, but before you blast me too hard let me explain..... My family owns some land in the mountains and I built a house on it. The road is nearly a full mile of gravel and steep: over 30% grade in spots!! It's crazy I'm going to video it and put in my sig link LOL. There is no way the Blackbird could make it unless I bought a truck and trailer just to haul it up and down the road. I'm not that rich So if I wanted a car that could make it up my road and have still have some fun on the tarmac IMO only option was STI or EVO. I went STI.

Ha yeah Actually the thought did cross my mind, but I wanted a fair race and I did the best I could for the car. The other times we raced I won cause he wouldn't give his car all it had. My car did real good tho, my friend launced like a bat out of hell. I tell you what, that Cobra was fun to drive . It was kinda weird tho; winning and losing at the same time

That's pretty funny, but if I was the other guy, I would be CRINGING as I heard my car bounce off the rev limiter like that...

Um yeah that would be me..... Tho it probably didn't hurt anything since it was pulling into the limiter instead of dead reving into it.
