Formula vs. Cobra
Shift light wanted...
Sunday afternoon its beautifull and me and the family are in the turn lane on the way to longhorn to indulge in tampa's best samon and buttery mashpotatoes. When a new dark red cobra with chrome wheels rolls to a stop in the straight lane and throws a rev. Ive wanted to run one of these onl the street for a while, so i actually pull out of the turn lane and in behind him. He revs a couple more times, we get going the right lane opens up and he guns it so i follow suite. He stayed in it past 100 and i stayed glued to his bumper. He lets out and we catch a light. We compliment each others cars. We chat he tells me its pullied and chipped. We roll out i hear his blower scream and i wait till he comes by me to hit it so we start off we me at his door. When i slam second im even with him and things are looking up and i try to get all the rpms i can out of second and fail, i slam the limiter causing me to fudge the shift to third and he grabs an instant 2 1/2 cars. DOH! I wasnt on my game and my stock tack doesnt make it easy. So its snake 1 raptor 0.
Ill be back.
