Bone stock 03 Cobra vs 2011 GT

[viper1]

I was in a hurry running late for work when I happened upon a black 5.0 that still had paper plates. I didn't have time to mess around but I was really curious what they could do against a bone stock 03/04 Cobra. That's right, I said "bone stock cobra". I know those words are rarely put together in a sentence. It's stock down to the paper filter.
I passed him slowly going about 70 and see him with his buddy, both with these little smirks on their faces. They were young guys, late teens maybe. I don't know if the smirks were "Oh look I'm about to dust this guy" or just "Alright a race!" smirks. I wasn't going to instigate anything because I was almost to work and late to boot. He ended up blipping the throttle on me so I returned the gesture. When I did he nailed it and I followed suit. He hung for a second at first, but it got ugly after that. Especially when I hit 4th gear. I took it up to about 140 and he was way, way back there. I ran it up quite a bit to give him a chance to catch me but it wasn't happening.
It was a very nice car no doubt, and very strong. I was contemplating trading in the cobra on one but I'm real happy with it, and I haven't even pullied it yet. I also like the fact that it isn't one of those cars you see everywhere, like I'm sure the 5.0 will be. Anyway, it's not much of a race but I thought I'd share.

Why yes. How did you know?

Yes. Not the optimal race mind you, but it was spur of the moment.

At first i was gonna say "not so fair with him having a passenger", but then by the way you said you beat him it wouldn't had mattered, good kill o.p

Nice kill man! I wondered what this race would look like!

Thanks. These guys weren't big guys either. I'm 6'2" 200 lbs and these guys were both pretty skinny from what I could tell. I did expect it to be a lot closer though.

Great to hear you gave him the smack down, the 5slow boys need to learn to respect their superiors!

 

[Jimmysidecarr]

I'm a little surprised too.

 

[LS2GTO]

Prolly the guy did not know how to drive that thing too well, I mean heck it's a 112-113 trapping car (similar to yours), so with you pulling him that hard meant he could not drive for shit.

No surprise here. I own terminator which means it's way faster.

You sure it wasn't a V6 or a 2010 GT

 

[assasinator]

good kill man. those stock cobras are way faster than other cars with the same power.

 

[Riddla]

Let the :bs: stories begin!

LOL... With a 5.0 badge that big I don't think you can mistake one. Like I said, I was surprised myself. Maybe he needs some more seat time. :shrug:

Lol, let the excuses for the 5.low begin....:lol1:

 

[F8l Vnm]

I call BS flag...no way you pulled a Stock 5.0 that hard with your stock cobra...Just dosent make sense to me..Prolly a 2010 Gt ...Good kill anywAy :beer::banana:

 

[redfire03 svt]

Terminators are just that, killing machines. I could see it happening easily as the terminator has a fatter torque band and the 5.0 had two passengers.
