Default Cocky drivers losing races..personaly experienced :) comment

at a resturant were we all hang out there is a guy there with a kenne bell supercharged mustang 99-04 body my buddy had asked him if he wanted to race an '05 the guy laughed and said bring him on. I got a call and he told me that had just happened so i left the other resturant i was eating at with my family to go over there. I get there the guy comes outside and i said wanna run?? he looks laughs a little says sure . i said how much horsepower you pushen he says about 460 to the wheels so i was kind of scared but we get out on the road from a forty i jump him by about half a car then in 3rd it was a slow but steady pull. He didnt say much except that he wanted to run again and we couldnt catch a light so i just made a U turn and waited going about 13-15 mph he pulls up gives me the sign i hear his engine so i go and WHAMO got him by over a car length before i hit 80. we get back to the resturant and he says "that thing pulls hard for only haveing a little over 300 at the wheels" he kept saying we were dead even so i just agreed i didn't want to embarass the guy infront of his bartending girlfriend...it was a great time .. but i learned most peoples bark is worse than there bite

There's no way in hell he had 460 to the wheels. Obviously was lookin to intimidate you.........or his dyno-tuner lied to him big time.

[sm=icon_cheers.gif]Way to represent the 05's. I don't believe people respect them as much as I think they are going to because we're just now finding out what the do's and don'ts are. These 3vs are seriously stacked with potential. When that new Shelby comes out, It's going to be insane. I needed to hear your kill story because my friends(04 Cobra/Camaro SS) at work don't feel these things are a threat. Nice goin!

i pulled pretty well on a 03 cobra with intake and exhaust (stock pulley tho), and he had absolutely nothing to say afterwards except "damn".

Do us all a favor and don't lie. There is no way you "pulled" on 03 Cobra with mods unless the guy was messing with you. Sorry guy; I am calling BS on this one!

Both me and another guy at work with an 05 raced the same Cobra. Of course, we lost but gave the guy a run that he didn't expect for a stock car with 300 ponies.
