Great day @ the Woodward Dream cruise! People stopping to look, and take some pics of the Cobra while it was parked.
One of the times when I took some people for a cruise, I come up to a red light. Their was a new black mustang 2 lanes over (4 lane road) I was in the middle, and a 02 or 03 Mustang GT on my right. As I slowed down for the light turned green, i was in second....the 2 mustangs both went ,but they saw me they let off as I did. I then saw the new black one was A Brand new black with red strips....GT500KR...Sweet looking car to say the least!! About a mile down the road, I'm in front of him, I slow down to around 40, he is along side me now. I hear him drop a gear, I drop to 2'nd, as soon as he hears this he jumps, I follow...I catch him and stop his pull to even it up, grap 3'rd and pull about 2 cars or so and let off and hammer on the brakes. I had 2 140 lbs girls with me, he was alone. he pulls back even with me and we give each other thumbs up!! Sweet race Made my day!!!!
On the way home I thought I saw a old shelby Mustang way in front of me. I was right, Low and behold a Sweet looking green 1968 GT350. He had the same plate as me. His said 68snake..mine:95snake. I was behind him in the left turn lane at a red light. Great looking car!!! Light runs he take off a little fast sounded real nice. We slow when he sees me..I say sweet car he smiles, I then say we have the same lic plate. He say My Cobra dos'nt sound stock. I tell him it's not, I've got a blower....I'm sure he heard it anyways. We pull to a right light, I ask if it's a 351, he says 302, I say I've got the same. Just before the light changes I tell my girl to hold on he's going to try us. He was alone. Sure enough we roll out and we both nail it @ the same time @ about 5mph...through 1'st I got a half a car, Great shift to 2'nd and walk all over him! he pulls up and says it just isn't fair.....I just laugh, and we went our sept. ways. Great race again..nice guy, Awesome Shelby!!!
Great day out on Woodward!!!

Nice kills man... I just got home from going to the cruise.

Was this your 1'st time in the cuise?

I just read a article in 5.0 mag I just got, on the GT500KR. They are only going to make 1000 this year, $79,995 plus mark up. 540 horsepower. Does anyone know how much they weight??

We were @ Woodward and Square Lk Rd.
Any kills on your part?? You did have your Cobra out right? Where were you at?

I took the Ranger, so no kills for me. I spent most of my time in the Ford area.

I was looking to make some runs saturday, but after cruising down woodward, i had a left leg that would not stop cramping up from all the clutching. I really need to go with an easier pushing clutch.

Where were your cars parked? were you parked in mustang alley? i was right across from the ford motorsports trailer by the food court. There was a Yellow 05 or 06 with big lips on the fenders and a black roof.
