So today going out for dinner with my girlfriend im driving on the freeway im cruising 60mph as I looked in the rear view mirror I spotted blue lights approaching me. Didnt really put much attention to it since most new cars have color headlights. as im looking to the road I see a car pull next to me with a nice load exhaust I heard a rev it made look over and it happened to be a really nice black shelby cobra with two dark grey middle stripes. The traffic was a lil heavy I pulled to my left lane so he can move over one lane too. I downshifted to 4th and he downshifted to a lower gear 2nd/3rd he slowed down to about 35-40 so I decide to drop it to 3rd we both then were side by side with a good open space in front of us. I was waiting for him to go so as im waiting he suddenly punched it so I punched it he jumped about 1/2 car and I spun popped in 4th n I jumped about 2 cars and still walking hit the brakes as blockin traffic was ahead. I jumped off the freeway me looking over I seen a thumbs up thru his light tint. It was a nice lil run...

I don't post much but I can't pass on this one. Going 40, spinning, going to 4th and you get him by 2 cars? Sorry man gotta call BS. He gave up or wasn't racing. Mods on your car?

I don't see what's hard to believe. 2.3 Whipple with E85 is not exactly a slow car.
By all means, that would be a quick car with the mod list. 4th is not at all in the powerband at 40 mph unless there are really steep gears involved? I can go in excess of 120mph in 3rd with stock gears.

Clever. I say your story is fake, you try to make fun of me for adding your bald tires to your mod list.
