I would say the ones to worry about are the ones that start pulling cars on you as soon as you hammer it........ We have a cobra around here that is BAD..... A one one the way..... I say don't judge it by what it is..... Listen to it, and see the way that it actually runs.

(but yeah the yellow ones are fast
