Talking Killed a Cobra Today

The Cobra was a 00 black. 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 to a good stretch of road for a race and we went at it with him in front two cars. This was easy. I passeded by him relatively quick in 3rd and put 3 cars or so on him and we just shut it down.
I thought these things were faster than my stock Toyota Solara (Cats reamed out, aftermarket shifter). I can't explain it, but I just had to tell some Stang guys.

Question

Toyota Solara? '00 Cobra?

There is no such thing as a '00 Cobra.

If it was even a 99 Cobra, my guess is that he wasn't racing you...

Actually, I bet it was a V6 badged as a Cobra, that would make sense.

Hmmm...

My guess is that he wasn't racing. The '99 Cobra was the first year of the new body style, there was no '00, now again there is a '01.

Both the 99,01's run mid/high 13's off the floor, and they are both much stronger than that with 320hp on the hiway. They don't have very good gearing so it holds them back out of the hole.

I can't explain it, my car has always been faster compared to other Solaras, but I didn't expect this

Flames. That's all your looking for eh?

There is no way in hell your stock solara can pull a 14... so why did you beat a 13 second car?

2 possiblities; your "00 cobra" (which was never manufactured) did not race you, or your just asking for flames.

Were you guy's there? How would you know the true story, if you werent there. I've seen 2MFF's solara run, IT RUNS HARD. There are a whole bunch of variables involed in racing, which I'm sure you guys know. 2MFF is an excellent driver and can make a normal car almost, immortal, "I CANT EXPLAIN IT, HIS CAR IS A FREAK".

Variables being what they are... it takes a heck of a variable to get a mid-15 second car to beat a mid-13 second car.

Can a Stock Ford Windstar beat that Solara? hmmm no. What do you think?

I'm telling you man, this Solara is a freak of nature! It spanks european sports cars (mini coopers) and I even saw him smoke a japanese motorcycle (a friends moped!!!) For real! it's a bad mochine!!! But it's amazing, when he lets a friend drive it it runs 15s all day, but he hits mid 12s with it! He's radioactive, see? that's how it works. He uses some kind of plasma propulsion system that's mounted up his *** , it's called his fat head.

I beat this 4.6 pretty easily and have taken other 4.6's in similar fashion, especially the Cobra's. I think this race really begun at his door which would have given me a 3 car win but if we would have kept into it in 4rth, I would have opened that up by another couple of cars easy. We all know there are many variations on how these 4.6's perform. I respect them all but downplay my win for you, no way..

I have raced two well modded 4.6's and the races were much closer. The point is my car is no joke in this kind of race and it ain't bad from a stop either. The fastest one was a couple of weeks ago. I had a 301rwhp Stang by three cars to 90 from a 5mph roll. I don't bullshit and I don't dream. I just tell it like it happened bro.

Thumbs down

We have a winner in this weeks TROLL contest.

The biggest troll since hottiescottie!

Go back to your rice board and post how you beat the 4.6 Cobra. Oh, and by the way, next time choose a car that really does have variables in it's performance you idiot. The Cobra's all run the same, 13.5-14.0 bone stock. Driven by Michael Schumacher or Bernie the ape, still 14flat or quicker. Your car is a POS. Why not buy a real car so you can post real kills instead of BSing on all the boards?

What's that? Oh... Okay, you've got no balls, that's why you drive a car that only a 40 year old stuck up country club ***** would like. I forgot people like you existed.

2mff, you are way to funny to be on this board. Are you having fun? If only Toyota could build a car worth driving...

Are you the one that built that page about Toyota not being Lexus?
