Early 5.0 mustang vs me.

Got the opportunity to run an early 80s cobra I think. It had the hood and everything. He got next to me and was staring over. Before the light turned green he was lunging forward ready to go. I figured OK, there's nobody around I'm game.

At green he eases into it and I just kinda hang at his door waiting. Then I hear him get on it. I cranked it all the way up to 1/2 throttle in first real quick and pulled 2 cars on him and cruised away until the dreaded fly by.

Next light we hit it again. This time he isn't looking over. He's ALL business. I see he's ready to go. At green he goes and gets a little wheel spin. I go pretty easy through first and when I hit second I go to about 70% throttle and pull a quick 3 buslengths and this is NOT an exaggeration. Hit third and pull about 3 more. A half mile down the road he catches up and passes me. Still not looking over. Oh well.

I don't know what he was thinking. What made him think he could take me? What made him think after round one that he had ANY chance? Some people are nuts.

I only have ≈96 hp too.

I was on my R6. That would be a pretty big box to hang.

It looked just like that only brownish and it didn't have any cobra badging.

It could have been a regular 5.0, either way it wasn't winning.

I doubt it was even a real cobra. It was probably a 5.0 with a hood.
