Dead Snake.
I am cuising down i-355 at 70mph and pass a beautiful top down slate grey mustang convertible ( not the new retro one ,the last model)with COBRA on the rear bumper and two large exaust pipes coming outits back end.The driver ,my age ,is having a goog time and steps on the gas to show me how fast he is,he is loud but not fast,so since its one of the last nice days and the sun is shining and the roads are clear and my valentine is silent , I, too ,step on the gas, pass him at 90 mph and run up to my 130mph speed limiter.I actualy saw 131 but i think that was caused by momentum.He couldnt keep up but gave it a valient try until 110mph. He had fun , I had fun and all in all it was a nice day.

Cobras are not the fastest cars on the road though many of the drivers think so. Now if it was my buddies TT Cobra then yes he would have lost that thing is capable of 1000hp but if it was a stock Cobra then the 600 would have no problem handling it.

Im sure a good amount of me beating him was due to his inexperience but still non the less I am not impressed.

Well you shouldnt in that beast you have! One time on my way back from the Oakland airport when my car was completely stock a kid and his father were passing me in the new GT500. Sadly he did not understand the concept of 3 honks and would just take off at any random time but I was not impressed. The couple times we went at the same time I pulled a little on him and he could not gain. Im sure a good amount of me beating him was due to his inexperience but still non the less I am not impressed.

The S600 and CL600 are limited. I think that's because they don't want the S55 and CL55 getting their feelings hurt in a high speed run from the 600 models. It's nothing a quick ECU flash won't fix.

I believe I read someone else on these boards it was because the tires are not rated above 130 on the 600 series.
