Default So I beat a new Shelby Cobra...PART TWO (VID)

So I get a text today from a number I don't know asking if I'm ready for round 2. I figured out who it was and then I was like damn, this kid learned how to drive in a week, So I agreed. Well I then find out that he is paying someone else to drive his car for him to race me because he thinks no one respects his car. Well since I already agreed to race I wasn't about to back out, paid driver or not.

Heres the vid

haha 70K thats funny...try less than 45K. i've seen that at the dealership (42K...msrp is less than 41K). and it didn't seem "that hard" to beat.

seems like the gt500 bogged a little off the line...but who knows

Well that car still wasn't driven to it's full potential (obviously), but atleast he got somebody who could halfway drive the car this time. Good death

He wants respect so he pays someone to drive his car for him? Thats about the dumbest thing I have ever heard, and even that guy didnt get the car to do what it should.

Round 1 You beat the driver...round two you still beat the owner....hahaha.

The MSRP lets break that down for you Manufacture SUGGESTED Retail Price if you try to buy on for 41-42K they will laugh in your clueless face. Your the funny one. That is a sweet car but I'd rather ha a C6Z

i appreciate the comment. but if i'm clueless then your retarded. ya know why? cause the 42K price tag was the price AT THE DEALERSHIP. thanks for playing.

c6z is sweet...but they are over 20K more. a little out of this league.

I know several people that have paid MSRP. So...yes...it absolutely
can happen. I think MSRP is a very fair price. Anything over that isn't.
