Cobra owners Why?

GodStang · 09-16-2003, 11:19 AM

For those who own cobra's do you have everyone trying to race you? I had a guy in an old Toyota Camery try and race me last nite. I also had a jetta and a beat up nisson truck try to race me a while back. Why do they do this?!?!

Yeah its great aint it

I cant go anywhere without going at it with an LS1 or fox body stang.

Last night as I was putting 2 or 3 car lengths on a new ford lightning I thought to myself......Man I love this car!

Before my 01 cobra I had a 00' GMC truck as a daily driver. Since I got the Cobra just driving is an adventure

I got a big @ss white snake decal on my back window and under it it says SVT performance. This decal draws alot of attention from the racing crowd not to mention I think it added about 15 HP.

Truthfully? The real reason is they want to hear your exhaust. They now if they rev it and try to race you, you are going to waste them and by doing this, they can hear the snake hiss.....

I've had guys in suburbans and rusted out trucks try to race me, sometimes I'll just get on it a little and pass the up (not that hard) and then get off it and let them hear the exhaust. I wish more LS1's would run me though. ~Brian

Thats my problem. It is only beaters!! I wish a cobra or a ls1 or something would race me not a joke car. Wastes my gas and my time.

Move to West Texas. If you were to count the LS1's go by on a busy street you could get up to 100 in about an hour.

Lots and lots of stangs too. There is not much to do or see here but there is plenty of racing to be had.

Had a guy in a V-6 Camaro rev at me the other night. (RS). I smiled and said it wouldnt be much of a race. He agreed, but he said that he just wanted to hear the supercharger whine. I obliged.....

I happens....
