my 396 lt1 vs. shelby gt 500
this is my first kill story post so bear with me. i just broke in my stroker with just over 3000 miles on it when i met the cobra at a light , we were both at the front waiting for the light to change and when it changed i let him get the jump so he had the edge and i pulled 3 links on him and moving past fast going into 4th . then the light ahead turned red and there was 3 lanes 2 were taken by regular cars at the front the cobra was in the middle and i was behind him. the light changed he took of hopefully as fast as he could and by the tim i hit 3rd i was passing easy at about 120 mph them he hit the brakes . i thought what a wuss. i dont care how bad i get beat its still fun but not as much as when you win.

Only took me a few hundred miles, then again, the roller cam and molly rings make it easier.

Well at the end of the day, he has a $50k shelby cobra and you have a $8K camaro (if that). Chicks dig the cobras, I have an 04 mystichrome and its a chick magnet.

From another thread:
Oh, BTW since you are always so keen on calling BS on everyone on this board and asking for proof why don't you post up some pics and vids of this "600+hp 04 Mystichrome" you always speak of.

Maybe he isn't ugly enough that he needs a car for picking up WOMEN?
