Today i was on my way to lansing and after like 3 minutes of getting on the highway i see this old man and his wife coming up fast on me in what appears to be a Shelby Cobra... i am guessing this is a really nice kit car, but who knows.... so i turn around and look at him and he gets the idea...... so i floor it and he does about the same time.... i get up to about 100 and he is like right behind me so i cut over lanes really quick and he gets besides me at about 115 and his wife is juss cracking up and he juss punches it and all i hear is this loud rumble and he is out...... wow... worst waxin of my life... i totally got destroyed on this one... made my z4 look like a civic.... juss thought i would share with you all

The Car was fucking insane guys, i cant explain how fast it took off even though we were allready at like 115.... his 115 on to what ever he got up to ....im guessing 140 somewhere was like other cars 0-40s lol
Those cars are amazing. saw a fabulous kit car at a car show (shelby cobra kit). It was amazing. Red with the two white strips. Awesome bumber sticker on the hood in the recessed part facing so if a person (or cop) was standing next to the drivers side window, they would see "Capable of evading hgh speed pursuit". I didn't get to see or hear the car move at all though
i kno alpine, thats why i am not shamed to post that it waxed me and yes , speedy is right, i was gunna post exactly what he said about the two being different.. anyways Elanor is that exact remake of the gt500 that a special design company out of texas did for gone in 60 seconds.... i hear they do em for a redicoulous price, Jason Giambi juss had one made.. pretty nice cars.... yeah but anyhow so there is no confusion, this was a Shelby Cobra... a fast one.... i wonder if an m3 would have competed... or better yet an m5
My moms dad use to race them for fun, he sold his last one 4 years ago for $250,000 and thats cheap but he had to get rid of it, health reasons... They are so nice though
