03 Cobra vs. turbo Talon and turbo 240
I got several runs in last night.
I passed a pack of several Talons and Eclipses on a local waterway. As planned one of them decided to get out of formation and pulled up on me. It was a gray Talon with black wheels. I downshifted and turned on the fuel pump to full bore and waited for him to move. He did, and I put 50 or so yards on him before I let out on the 3-4 shift. Saw the group at Sonic and asked what the mods were on the DSM, and he said it was "fully built." I don't know what that means, but they were nice guys.
Second run was a green 240 that was with the pack of cars that left Sonic. I lost the group of cars that I was with on the return trip over the 49 st. waterway when the stated 240 rolled up on me with a cameraman filming me. I asked if this would be posted on TR, and he said maybe. 2nd gear roll, 3 honks, same outcome as the DSM. I may have only put 40 yards on him. He rolled back up and asked what I had done because he was a 12 second car. We went one more time and smiling at the camera I motioned for him to take the hit. Drove by him again and we pulled over. I gave him my email and asked if he would send me the vid. Cool guys again.
The last run was with a sonic blue 03 Cobra with a Procharger. This guy was at Sonic, and he came up to me and started talking to me about 78mphgpr, Terry. How his car was built to take out Terry's car and that he knew all about what Terry is doing to his car etc. Kinda spooky that someone would build a car just to beat another person. I told him that he had nothing for Terry, or any of the Coastal built turbo cars. He seemed mad after that. So, he and Havoc and just about everyone else left to go get some runs in. I stayed, but something about this guy's demeanor made me get in my car and go get some. I wound up catching this guy after he lost the pack also. Lucky me. We went 3 or 4 times and only got one clean run in. Another 2nd gear roll on 3. Slowly pulled away on the top of second, and by the 3-4 shift when I let out, I was clearly looking at his whole car in the rearview and pulling away. We went one more time, and he took the hit from a 2nd gear roll. When I got to the top of 3rd, I was pulling hard and as I was closing in, he let out. Thought we would continue down the g-spot road and talk about the runs, but he turned off on 4th st.
