Smile Run in with a 03' Cobra

Was pulling out of my local Nissan dealership today and I hear a rather loud roar, so naturally I look behind me and I see a white Mustang. I thought to myself:

"No normal Mustang sounds like that"

So I slowed down, sure enough there was the Cobra emblem so I slowed way down to talk to him.

He pulls to into the left lane and he says "New Z?" I reply "Yea. New Cobra?" He replies "Yea" We're both grinnin'

He says "I heard those things can go"

I said "Yea, she'll chirp if I need her too. I hear you car isn't too slow itself."

My turn was coming up so I told him to go on ahead I wanted to hear the exhaust, so I took my right turn as he zoomed on by and waved. Those things sound bad ***.

Nice run in.

Cool run in. You're right those cobras sound viscious. That's American engineering at work for you I suppose.

Drag Radials

And a little 75 shot

Don't worry bro, merely a compliment. Was stating that America can pump out some really mean sounding beasts is all.

Default my 03

My 03 was 372 RWHP bone stock to the paper air filter from ford. 1 mod a cold air intake from steeda netted me 394 rwhp. Damn thing is scary fast for a mostly stock car. but next i need an exhaust.

Everyone knows the Z is the fastest car out there now.

No other cars can touch it.

I mean I destroyed a Z06 easily the other night.

Tomahawk Missle Launchers from side doors.

Now there's an IDEA.

You know, people in Texas don't like to honor those little turn signal indicators.

I am quite CERTAIN that with a few laser-designated Hellfires, and a helmet actuated 30mm cannon hanging off of my 350Z, they would be a bit more courteous!

Also, you could never lose a race! Just think of the possibilites.

The old adage would change slightly,

There is no replacement for displacement...or superior destructive firepower.

BTW, these are just jokes. My ego is not delicately hanging in the balance of which car can beat my Z. I'll race any car. I just hope the driver slows down (if he wins) and gives me the thumbs up...just like I always do if I win. Now, the Viper strikes fear into the hearts of mortal men. I've driven a 1998 GTS and it was NIIIIIIIICE.

Pssshhh, Viper won't hold a candle when I get the missles installed.

He'll take off, flyin by. Then boom! Couple seconds later I come speeding by in my Z.
