Default 03 Cobra vs Ferrari F430 Spider

I was heading down south on the highway when I catch up to a orange Lambo Gallardo.
Sadly I was unable to entice anything and the traffic was fairly moderate anyways so it was all for the better.

So I'm cruising behind the Gallardo when what rolls past us?
A Grey F430 with a middle aged guy and his passenger.
I toss the Ferrari a rev and give chase.
Traffic is still fairly congested so I just enjoy the cruise down to Miami in toe of the italian stallion.

10-15 minutes later we turn off onto a beach exit and get a nice open patch of highway...

With the F430 a car ahead I downshift into 3rd at 5500 rpm and wait for the Ferrari to hit it.
My senses come alive when I hear that throaty V8 down shift and take off, I run 3rd out for less time then it took me to slam 4th and I'm running him down like a hooker in Grand Theft Auto.
By the middle of 4th I'm coming up on his door and my eaton's screaming for all It's worth, I ease passed him 3/4s of the way through the end of 4th and we both let off.

I get a thumbs up and at the next light we talk a little about the cars.
Real nice people so far that I've raced in high end cars.

(Btw what do I see coming back? A 599 GTB Fiorano) Miami Beach FTW.


No spray and I'm down to 3450 or so in weight.

Nice kill. I love nothing more than to see relatively inexpensive cars taking down high dollar exotics.

I've never actually raced but according to my dyno numbers. I should run 8s on street tires.

Not to be a dick, but why? Do you think people buy those cars to drag race Neons and Mustangs? There is so much more to those cars that straight line speed. Give me an a F430 and you can blow by in your Neon. No sweat off my ass. I'd wave and be happy I am driving a work of art - end of story.

Every time I see that line written, it makes me think of some kid in a Honda bragging about how he took down a Mustang.
