So im driving through Mexico this afternoon and a red cobra convertible comes cruising up next to me. We play a little till traffic clears, as soon as it opens up we both punch it at 65 With him starting 2 cars in front Im expecting to get walked and at first I hung till about 80 then I started pulling him in. By 110 we were even and shut down. He gave a thumbs up and laughed then went on his way. Is this right for my mods. He had a louder exhaust than me so I know he was on it.

I can't speak to the performance being "appropriate," but I'd just revel in the moment. It's a wonderful thing to race someone in fun. Too many people are angry these days,

the mark viiis with the long gears move pretty well on the highway.
also with the cobra being a stick, the "driver mod" comes into play.
plus the verts are a little heavier than a coupe.

so yeah, sounds like a good time.

I like racing people to whom I know I will lose. It's fun just for the sport of it and doing it in Mark usually gets a few double takes.

Yea I was expecting to get ignored at the next light. Like most do when they get beat by a sleeper lol
I see your F150 in your signature, would you be able to post some pictures of that build in the "other vehicles" section? I have a soft spot for the late 80s early 90s Ford trucks, would love to see it.
