Ate an M3
 

It was Saturday night and my wife and I were going topless in our Cobra when a white BMW whizzes by at about 85 mph.

I downshifted to see what passed us. It was a new M3 with the air vents on the fenders and no less than four exhaust pipes (dual exhaust with dual tips). To my surprise he goes for it, so I downshift to third and get into boost. I'm sure he could hear the whine from the Cobra, which is starting to pull on him. I hit the rev limiter like an idiot, but I shift to fourth and keep pulling. I slow down at about 115, and I'm a solid 3-4 car lengths ahead.

We both slow down, and go at it again with the same result: Cobra winning over the M3 by a wide margin.

The M3 pulled up a third time, kept it's distance for a while, then turned off the freeway abruptly. I believe the driver was trying to figure out what car just handed him his a**.

Maybe it wasn't a fair fight, since stock for stock, the Cobra is faster than the M3. I just can't help thrashing the overpriced European imports and bruising some rich egos along the way. :) :)

nice
 

nice kill NO SLO PK

man you seem to like those sc'd cars....good one man...i hear about lots of stangs going down to these m3's so im glad to hear this.:)

Nice to see another 03 on this board. Are there any others? I have a pic of mine in another thread in the Blue Oval Lounge named M 03 Cobra.

What color is yours?

Jason

Redfire. I wanted Torch Red, which was discontinued for the second production run.

I see you own a 5.0 also. It's sort of amazing how quiet and smooth the '03 is by comparison. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing, but my wife likes my '03 Cobra and absolutely hates my '91 LX.

What have you done to your '03?

Yeah, I think the egos weigh them down a little. ;)

You should stop picking on them, they might stop thinking they're better than us....:o

(j/k for anyone who happens to own one:p )
