Well it was Friday night and I didn't have anything to do. So I decided to fill up my Fd with gas and take her out. I drove around town for a long time. I like to go rice hunting. I never race, but its fun to rev your engine while next to them and seeing their face when they look over.

Anyway...It was pretty boring until finally I saw an old man in his Corvette Z06. He needed to wash it badly but I got next to him at a light. I looked over and when the light turned green I gunned it. He didn't so I looked like an ***...



Right after I gave up and started on my way home I started to drive really slow just to cruise and enjoy the nice weather. Suddenly I see a red car riding my ***. I couldn't tell what it was since all I could see was red and a big *** hood! We came to a light and he was still on my ***. Not knowing what it was I took off when the light turned green. I shifted early in first thinking that maybe it was some stupid kid in a mustang and I had already smoked him. But No! He was still on my ***. Thats when I got really pissed. So I took second to red line. Still their. Third to redline still their. By then I was going near a hundred the other traffic was way behind me and I had only gained a car length on the mustang. Well I switched lanes hoping to talk to the guy. Turns out that it was a brand new cobra! The look on his face was priceless, specially the one on his girlfriends! We exchanged compliments and he turned at the next street.



Not much of a kill but it was my first in the car!

Yea, the guy in the cobra might not know how to drive.. but if Joe Flo has some mods.. it should still be a close race.

well the only mods i remember on joe's car is a street port and some exhaust (note: it's all i remember) and i'm not too sure what he'd run in the 1/4 with it, all i know is that if the guy got a "lucky" cobra he could be putting like 400+ at the wheels, if he got an "unlucky" cobra he could be putting only like 370 to the wheels, those cars' hp fluctuate a lot straight form the factory. Most people say it's a mid to high 12 second car stock, and supposively just putting headers and exhaust equals very low 12's if not 11's.



not being offensive to joe's car cause i don't know his mods, his power, or his possible 1/4 time, but the cobra driver probably doesn't know how to drive. maybe he does and joe's mods simply made his car faster, i dunno.



just trying to avoid anyone thinking im calling bs or something, and also good kill joe, i've got a guy in my neighborhood with the new cobra who i'm dying to lay the smack down on.

Kevin has it right. I only have a street port, exhaust and downpipe. My car is not as fast as my other one but the past owner claims a 12.8 in the 1/4 mile. Haven't taken it to the track though. Wasn't much of a race since I was in front of him the whole time see as he started off being behind me. I was just glad I could keep up. As for more mods. I am getting an intake and that is it for now. I have to spend my money on other things. (school )
