Default si vs new saleen

i was on erlich heading towards sheldon when a dark orange saleen convertible pulled out in fron of me. we both hit a light a few cars back he proceded to weave in and out of traffic and get in front of everyone. he went threw at least 3 or 4 gears and i followed behind slowly. we both hit a light a couple blocks down and i talked to him. he said it was a supercharged V8 and he had a 50shot on it. we proceded to roll out of the light and i just held it in second gear and i told him to get on it. i was chillin at like 5500rpm in second gear and hit it right after he did. he jumped about a half a car then i got back even with him at the top of second(when all 11psi kicked in) and passed him in third. then let off in the middle of third. i dont think he was spraying tho.
he was a little crazy lookin, looked kinda like tom petty, but still a pretty cool guy and a good run.

yes the 03 cobra has a DOHC 32v 4.6 w/an eaton blower the same one thats on the Lightning... the saleen is just a SOHC 4.6 w/ a saleen speedlab blower.... for the money the cobra is the way to go, it has alot more potential than the Saleen..

Good kill. Way to lay the smackdown on the Tom Petty.
