Default 06 GT vs 04 COBRA

I had to drive to one of my fabricators today for some samples that is about 80 miles away. I decided to take my Cobra for the ride instead of my Titan and enjoy one of the last nice days before winter sets in...

I got onto the Mass pike, driving a steady 75 when a red 05+ GT runs up along side me, loud as hell with drag radials out back. We worked our way through traffic and happened to get atleast 2 miles of open road infront of us when we started to slow down. I dropped down to 45 in 2nd gear, not sure what gear he dropped to - we took off from 45mph, he caught traction instantly and I fried my tires initially, I pedaled my way through it while he jumped out half a car on me. By the top of 2nd gear I had managed to run up to his front fender and in 3rd gear I quickly left him like a bad habit, grabbed 4th and kept putting the bus lengths between us. We slowed back down again and he screamed something at me that I couldn't make out, this time we dropped down to 1st gear at about 25mph and took off. I rolled into the throttle as softly as possibly and while he jumped out a good car length, I gave myself a better shot at getting into 2nd gear without roasting the tires. I was spinning the tires early in 2nd gear, but quickly hooked and proceeded to pull up & past him with ease getting into 3rd gear and he flashed his lights letting me know he gave up.

I pulled into the rest stop about 15 miles up the road and he did too. We talked for a little bit and he really had nothing nice to say about my car. He had a major +05 Mustang's are better fever...ugh.

Anyways, we talked about some mods, he had LT's, magnaflow catted x-pipe & catback, 4.10 gears, UDP's, CAI, tb & a 93 octane canned tune. [&:]

Maybe a stock 'Vert with a bad driver from a stop - he could most likely give one a run for it's money, but not from a roll like we were racing...

I don't know what his problem was, he was a major cock. I've had nothing but ignorant and retarded experiences running into 05+ owners around my area. Same goes for all the Fox-04 GT's in my area, but the 05+ guys have been much more blatant about being a cock.

All I do is take a ride over the NY border and it's nothin' but love from all the Mustang guys over there. Must be something in the water in MA.

That's why they call them Massholes.

I rarely look to race other Mustangs and if I did, I hope it would be a fun thing. Even if the guy was driving the biggest POS Stang or one from a year I didn't care for (like 96 or 97) I wouldn't talk sh!t about his car to him. And what Mustang owner talks smack about a Terminator? That's just nutty.

You arn't stock I take it [&:]

canned tunes really kill a car, a custom tune makes it so much better.

Good race, dude.[&:]

I have very light mods, catted x-pipe, 3.10 pulley, Flowmasters, K&N & a driver mod. I enjoy powershifting too much.

Couldn't be more right about Massholes.

I take it you are from the area?
