King feasts on Horse/Snake

[Peaven]

Well it finally happened, after more than a year of owning the KOTH I finally had a chance encounter that i've been wondering about for a while...a Mustang Cobra. Now I've heard these things can be real boosted beasts, so I was a little apprehensive as I pulled up behind this guy at the light (he was 1st in line and I was right behind him). I don't know much about Cobras, but I think this one was at least a '01 model as it had COBRA plastered across the rear bumper and was a late model one for sure, and it sounded healthy (for a Ford).

Anyway, he starts to pull away from the light at a leisurely pace and I follow behind in 1st gear until the revs get up to 3k and then with an opening I pull into the right lane and...it's on! At 4k my front is even w/his rear bumper and by the time I shift into 2nd my door is even with his front bumper....then it's over when I hit 3rd as I've put a good 1-2 lengths on him.

I let off in 3rd and he backs way off, as I slowed to about 45 waiting for him to give it another go, but he's not game. This Cobra must have been stock because it really wasn't much of a contest...I was expecting a dogfight and thought I might get clipped, but not this time....it's good to be King.
