Message Take his car in for that recall. I was driving to dinner when I heard this loud exhaust note and a green flash that I recognized as a 96-97 or thereabouts Mustang Cobra fly by on the street where I was going to turn onto. I was hoping and praying that I would catch up to him and I guess the Z Gods were itching for a kill since I hadnt had my car out in a week but I got to line up with him a couple lights later. While I was trying to catch up he was always on the front line and gunning it off every light. I dont think he saw me until I got up next to him. Anyway, he does his usual light jump (he was about to enter the freeway on the left) and I get on it. I got a mediocre launch but no lag means that I'm not playing catchup. I'm right there with him and immediately start pulling easily. I could have pulled ahead of him and gotten onto the freeway if I needed to but I was just going one more light. Maybe he was a bad driver but I thought it'd be a bit more fun of a race. He was really loud so I'm guessing he at least had an exhaust system. Oh well, that's my birthday kill story. :)
