Darn cobra driver!

[quick89gt]

Last night, my buddy and I were pulling out of our subdivision, when a guy we know drove by in his '98 Cobra. I know it's got flowmasters, and he said he had 3.73's put in it. Anyways, we follow him down a country road, and we were going like 40mph. He dumped it down a gear when he nailed it, but I had to nail it in 3rd, cuz If I would have dumped it into 2nd, my tires would have went up in smoke b/c of my 3.73's. So, anyways, he pulled on me there. Then, we turn onto another country road, and we're cruising about 20mph in 2nd gear, and I was getting ready to pull up beside him so we could run evenly, when he just nails it! So, I nailed it, and my tires went up in smoke, I HATE that!!! I maintained an even distance behind him, but couldn't pull on him, b/c he got an unfair jump. Anyone else have this problem with other people????
