    That's weird, my bone stock 92 5.0L would waste 87 TA's without breaking a sweat.
    Did you catch the guy sleeping?

    Question

    Was it a newer Cobra with the blower or the older NA Cobra.
    The new ones are much faster than the older ones.

    another good one!


    I still think the guy in the cobra can't shift...

    If he could, he would've been doing this--->

    Okay, no offense intended, and not trying to bash your car... But you probably got confused as to what kind of car you were passing while you were cruising on the HOV lane while in the middle of rush hour traffic...

    A Terminator Cobra (03/04) would have been no match, even stock, to your car. Unless you've got a blower and are on the bottle... In which case he should've downshifted from 6th gear before stomping on it so he could really show you what you were up against.

    A '99 and '01 Cobra would've killed you if you're stock.

    An SN95 Cobra would've humiliated you if the above statement was true as well.

    Methinks he either didn't really race you, was a V6 with a body kit (not bashing on V6's, just saying that's what it might've been), or a GT Automatic.

    Oh yea and Cobras were never built with an automatic transmission. All years had a 5 speed except the Terminator Cobras, which have a Tremec T-56.

    Take your dumb story to a Trans Am forum where a bunch of oldfart trailer park idiots will probably cheer you and offer you a Bud Light.

    Okay so maybe that was somewhat offensive...

    like i said say what u want, only reason i said it was auto is cuz i didnt see him reach down to DOWNSHIFT. 2nd of all it was like a 98 style drop top. SVT badges looked to be in the correct postion(would cobra on the bumper be correct also?) it was a V8 theres no doubt bout it. and nother thing, just proves my point most stang owners deal shit but cant take it. oh i aint some stupid ass ricer boy either. i dont do fly bys to be cool. so

    We told ya he was just cruisin... Probably looked pissed cuz he could smell the burning oil fumes from your exhaust when you gunned it.

    And by the way, you asked for the remarks... Posting an idiodic story like this with no believable facts, in a Mustang forum mind you, will just earn you a ticket to flame land.

    If you were a true car enthusiast, you would research what you "race" before claiming to be superior... You would've known these cars dont' come with automatic transmissions, and you would've saved yourself an arguement.

    BAHAHAHA...we can take shit...i dont mind the occasional LS-1 on the bottle pulling me, and i respect the LS-1s...i just dont take kindly to BS stories, and/or misrepresented stories. the sheer fact that you said cobra and automatic in the same sentence just killed the story, and brought about all the doubt you see here.

    when you are racing, you have the time to look into the other guy's car to see what he's doing? remind me to never race you whenver i'm looking for shit to go down on the Pike...dont want you crashing your POS into my car.

    Oh so now you're angry at us for making fun of your ridiculous story, so you have to resort to some lame ass comment about the symbols in our cars?

    wheres the firebird now? considering mustangs have always tripled sales compared to the T/A, Firechicken, and Camaro combined since the birth of the mustang...GEE, its also funny that the mustang is an american icon...its also funny that the number 1 high dollar muscle car is the Shelby GT500s...hmmm, how much do your 100% original yenko camaros go for now? 60k?
