Smile 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.

As my car would pull away like you hit the e-brake...you keep telling yourself whatever you want.

Besides asking for pictures and videos of all the street races on these boards, is this your only comeback?

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.

Chick magnets are more like BMW's, bikes, etc. Unless you're still in high school or something.

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

WOW!!! sorry man but you just made a total d bag out of yourself by making a coment like that! Stop trying to start ****. Did the OP say anything about whos car was prettier? Also if i spent 50k on a car and got beat by a 8k car i would be pretty upset. How do you know the OP's car isn't better looking than a GT500 anyway?

and to the OP NICE KILL!
