96 Cobra vs 99 GT

[96SNAKE]

I just lined up with a red 99GT at a light on the way home from a bar in Allentown. There were two guys in the car and they pulled up next to me and my girlfriend on my driver's side. We said our hellos and gave the typical compliments on each other's cars and The driver said let's go. I looked at my girl and said, "I have to" she said, you better not lose. I felt confident from the beer but I haven't had a stoplight race in awhile..

We both got decent launches and took off even in first to about 30 and then I got about a car and half lead before hitting 2nd. It was all over from there as we separated from the GT by about 4-5 cars by 3rd gear and then I shut it down when I realized how stupid it was for me to be speeding at this time of night.

They pulled up behind me and gave me the high beams and I hit the brakes in return. I would assume this car was a stock 5sp.
