Default Two 5.0's at the same time and turbo probe smack down.

On the way to pick up my girlfriend last night (in tha cobra) I slowly pass a parking lot full of rice, one of the ricers in a turbo probe throws me a rev. I thought to myself (since my girlfriend wont let me street race this could be the only action I get all night)...So I pull into the lot and ask the guy (you wanna race or what).....He said yeah but from a roll so my turbo can spool up....Of course I said sure thing. We went from a 30mph roll and I smoked his @ss by at least 12 cars to 100mph. What a joke.

Later that night when we were cruising the drag, all kinds of cars were trying to race me, but I knew if I raced she would get pissed. It was killing me .......It was getting late and I was ready to head home. I stopped at a red light and all of the sudden I had a 5.0 on my right and a 5.0 on my left revving like crazy. To my surprise she looked at me and said "Go ahead".........When the light turned green I spun pretty bad and both of the 5.0's had a 1/2 a car on me. I caught traction on the 2nd gear shift and started pulling ahead. about half way through 3rd I had a couple cars on them. at the next light they both gave me a thumbs up and said nice car.

My girlfriend was as pumped as I was

I love the mustang community, we all respect eachother and we all love to race

Later,

Sounded like fun, I hope your girlfriend wasn't too mad at you afterwords, I know my wife sometimes says one thing but means something different. (eg. "I don't mind if you go out with the guys")

Thanks for the replies, Venumus93 I love your year of cobra. I would like to get one and just use it as a full on race car.
I might sell my 88GT and look into that later this year.

Nice kills. My ex girlfriend would not let me race anyone at all. She said she was too embaraced. I tired to race a 97 Cobra one time and she said if I raced him she would get out of the car and walk home. She was dead serious, maybe that's why we didn't stay together too long.

...or we can trade! Your '01 for my '93 with just short of 110K miles on it!
Really, I love my car but sometimes I wish I didnt have all the little things to worry about with a 100K+ mile car. But then I clean it up, detail the engine bay, go cruisin' & decide there is no better car on the road around here! When I get some sticky tires later this year & get some real track #'s I'll be even happier.
Later!

Nicely done Dark 5.0.

My girl is totally cool about racing now. I know she wasn't when we first met, but it has really grown on her. She totally cheeses-out when I start talking to a guy after we race... it's almost embarrassing. Anymore I'm like "Jesus, wipe the smile off your face. This guy just got his azz handed to him and I don't think he wants to see you rubbing it in."

Hopefully it will grow on your girl and she'll start to enjoy it as much as the rest of us.

Was the Turbo Probe one of the older 4 bangers with the factory turbos? I have heard so many young guys talk how those cars are "so fast". HA HA, not as fast as a Cobra!

Yes it was a factory turbo'd probe with a few mods and more boost.

I wasnt impressed.

In his defense though he has some major traction issue's. He started spinning when we went from a roll, so he is making some good power but he had skinny front tires and not much driving ability.
