Default C6 runs into an 03 Cobra.

Yea, I got another race. It wasnt fair but he said he had a Cobra before the C6 vette and kept trying leave me like we were racing, I let him get by with it for 4 or 5 times before I persued him. Got next to him in 3rd at about 50 and was about to put it in 2nd and he takes off. I left it in 3rd pulled pretty easily and he just let off with me about 3 cars ahead and trucking. Then he wouldnt catch a light with me later. All I know is it was a 6spd w/ some exhaust. No big deal but fun race. I even moved over into the next lane once when he was behind me and he just flys by me while I was waiting, I just went back home. Jackass.

Thanks man. Just have fun and DONT act like youre the fastest car out that night (I never do) . I could crank the boost up to 25lbs AND add 125 shot and there are still street cars that would wipe me off the road. He was acting like an ***, so I had to show him mine. Power is so much fun!

Well, I am a GM guy and I don't really care about Fords, but I have to say nice kill just for the fact that you mention that you don't act like you are the fastest car. I give you the props for that. I now that Cobras are fast as hell, and many people act like they are unbeatable, but you are down to earth. Nice kill.

Nice run Jay, I actually ran a C6 the other day, I might be able to get the video (my buddy has it) It was pretty much the same as your race, I pulled 2-3 cars instantly and would have pulled harder but a car pulled out in front of me.

That's my philosophy.

My car's so quiet, you can't even hear it running next to most "performance cars". I just laugh at the people who are so serious when it comes to racing. I want to be fast, no doubt about it, but I can, and have, taken a few *** whoopings. If you get upset about getting beat in a car race, you need some treatment.


I'd also like to note that I've given more than I've taken though.

Thanks man. If and WHEN anyone ever gets beat in a race ( it will happen) you look so much more respectable when you have NOT acted like an ***. Its more fun that way.

Good kill, and that comment is so true. I do not mind losing because it is all in fun. The worse part for me is knowing when to pick my races. I often race people when I probably should not and lose due to being at a disadvantage. If there is ever a doubt that you cannot get the car to hook it is best to not race. I know that from experience.
