Cruising home from the movies(read my other thread) and im in the right doing 60-65. I hear a blower whine behind me.....white cobra.....I pull out and catch up to him just to give him props. I pull up on him and I see hes got DR's so I go "hmm he might race with me". I pull out into middle to give him the thumbs up..he rolls his windows down as well and I see....no pass. seat a cage....I look over and jump on it and pull out about a lengh....slow down he gives me a "peace" sign and JUMPS on it and LIGHTS HIS TIRES UP(at 60..rember that) I tried with all my lil mopar had to catch him....shut down at 130 and he was STILL pulling on me. In a weired way....felt good to be humbled(had jersey plates on it). Anyway....time to MODDDD to catch a cobra...lol...new respect for you...ford.....boys(hurt to say that..lol)

wow. you got played, man. I figure people would be more surprised by your car than the other way around.

BTW, how do you "mod to catch a cobra"? I'd think the only thing you have left is forced induction or nitrous.

There's a nice yellow Super Bee and a Black SRT8 Charger in the area that might have stood a better chance, both are supercharged and making in the 700hp range I think...

No shame in losing to that. My guess would be 1 of 3 if he was spinning at 60.
1. Ported eaton + pullied and bolt ons
2. A Kenne Bell twin screw
3. Whipple

From my little bit of know how on ford and superchargers......and the videos I have seen on streetfire...it had a whipple sound to it...but could be wrong.....and he was spraying...he had a "NX" decal on the lower rear quater.

Mod up and bring it again. Twin screw and nitrous is gonna be HARD to beat. FI is about your only route.

Props for posting the death though and being a good sport. I've read about so many races where the loser just turns into a complete ass.

I think we have all been killed at one time or another. It is just refreshing to hear someone come clean about getting beat! Even if they were serverly out matched.
