Default 03 Cobra kill

I am getting on the highway with me and three buddies, and I am just crusing around when this 03 Cobra goes by me. I said alright and chased after him. Caught him at the toll booth. I got through first and waited. Let him have the hit. After I jumped on it, it was all over for him. Pulled HARD in every gear and ended up crushing him. I turn off he followed me and at the stop light he rolled down his window and said "Man, what do you got in that thing?" I responded with "Four people." He looked insulted by that but hey, he was the one driving a Ford.

Great kill SMOKE. FOUR PEOPLE!!!!!!! LMAO

I had a similar sitiation with an 01 Cobra. We ran two different lights with the same results. I pulled a car on him in 3rd.

I pull over and the first thing out of this pudds mouth was "man your car sounds like ****". To which I reply with "If you coulda got out in front of me you wouldn't have heard it". Then he asked me what I had in it, I said "93 octane"

This made the victory much sweeter.

You made it sound like the guy was being cool about the loss and you tried to punk him out. That would make you an ***. Good kill though. '03 Cobras can be tough. <see sig>

unit ... any reason you didn't get that magical pulley that all the 03 owners say gives them so much more hp?
Just seems like the first thing that I would do the moment I got the car.

Actually there is a reason. I'm getting my chip re-burned, the pulley, and full exhaust all at the same time. There's no point throwing on the pulley without exhaust. The '03 Cobras breathe through a damn straw. It's ridiculous how restrictive the exhaust is. Also, I wanted to put a few miles on it before beating the motor too bad. It's all coming soon. Next spring I'm hoping to get a Kenne Belle blower and crank up the boost to 20psi or so.
