Not a Cobra...but in the Stang, my mom commented on the horrible ride, my dad said "Not bad...for a Ford" and my little (formerly) emo brother just giggled. Other than that, I have the slowest car in my group of friends so nobody has been that impressed. But I'm working on that.

Took my g/f with me on the testdrive when i was looking at my 03 Lightning and when i got on it she was like holy shit is it gonna blow up?!?!? I just lol'ed. She's drove my GTO and Cummins and Camaro so she's used to fast cars but the blower threw her off this time lol

lol good thread. I absoluty love giving "non-car" people rides. They think im ****ing crazy after.

That is one SICK looking C6. I had my Z28 painted Daytone Sunset Orange Metallic after the new C6 vettes when they came out and had black Z06 rims on it. Looked damn good. :beer:

Most of my friends and family are big time car fanatics, and have all been in and/or owned fast cars. The response I got from most of them was "that blower really screams", or something to that effect. None of them got freaked out, or scared.

It's either one of two reactions, a shit eating grin or a terrified scream. Those with the terrified scream still grab for the bolsters when they see my hand reach for the shifter.

One of my friends gave a ride in his Cobra to a girl at Texas World Speedway, she threw up. Luckily he made it to the pits first!

Man do I miss my Terminator. I took my neighbor for a ride before he shipped out for Afganistan. He is not a car guy at all and had never been in my car. I nailed the shit out of the car all the way up to 140 and I thought he was going to shit himself. mods are in my sig. I'm just counting the days til I get a Gt500 and It will be game on. This time I'm going straight for the new Whipple 3.4, full Basanni, 100 shot and etc. :rockon:

first time i took my friend out for a ride, his response was.."wow, its a fast car, but why is the interior like a KIA." i laughed, but i didnt buy the car for the interior, bought it for performance.
