Boy did this bring me back down to earth.
Got my 100 wet shot in saturday. I took it out for a test drive, and all I could do was freaking smile. It has ridiculous acceleration, I've gone plaid as in "Spaceballs".
Anyways, saw this black 93 Cobra that had this mysterious whistle from under the hood. I called him over and talked for a second. The only thing he would tell me was he was running 10psi, no times or RWHP. So I said come on lets see what you got.
We started at my sweet spot, 4G in 2nd. I got the jump and he was instantly right with me. I knew it was going to be bad from then on. I went to 3rd and he put 1/2 car on me, he didn't shift yet so Im figuring he has real tall gears. We he shifted I gained about 1/4 of that car back, and we stayed there till about the middle of my fourth and he was inching off. We stopped at about 120 where he had me by a car or so.
This happened in San Antonio, off of Military drive. Anybody know this guy? He's kind of an *******, really short with you and all. I thought I was the **** until that though, when that switch is activated it hits like a freaking freight train. I just kill him with the 150 shot next weekend

Sounds like you are street racing to me. I think that you need to be a little smarter wise up, grow up and take it to the track! before you kill someone!

My dad wasted both my Cobras with his 1970 Olds 442 W-30 . Both my cars are pretty much stock except for exhaust and stuff like that. But don't worry, I'll get the old guy .
