Killed another Cobra and an LS1 SS

[96SNAKE]

This Cobra race was a huge disappointment. This was a black 96-98 coupe that was lowered, blacked out and had chromed R wheels. It was probably one of the cleanest Cobras I have ever seen. Anyway, I see him a couple cars ahead of me and we are heading onto the ramp for the freeway. He must have noticed me because he waited for me slowly in the right lane then he pulls a bullcrap move and floors it with me about 4/5 cars back. Not standing for this and already in 3rd gear, I caught up to him very quickly and passed by him at the top of 3rd and put some good distance on him in 4rth. This car had a loud exhaust but that was all it had. He wouldn't even come cruising up to me after. He just hung back about 10 cars behind me and I was doing 60?? I hate it when people don't wave after a race, especially another Ford owner.

-The SS was a 99/00 grey with a guy in his mid 40's with his wife. We cruised close to each other and I didn't think he wanted to play. All of a sudden, he downshifts out of nowhere and passes me so I knew it was on.
-We came up on a turn that opens up to a good stretch of road for a race and we went at it with him in front about two cars. This was an obviously stock car because I passed by him relatively quick in 3rd and put 3 cars or so on him and we just shut it down. He pulled up and waved with his wife laughing at our childishness. I wish the other Cobra driver could have been this cool..
