Shelby Repli-Cobra picked on by the wagon
I was cruising and noticed an old repli-Cobra snaking through traffic, a few minutes later we ended up at the same red light 
.
The light turned green and I eased away from the light while the Cobra got on the gas pretty heavily "flexing" his muscle. I was game, so I caught up to and passed him as I wound out all of second gear and then let off the gas which caught his attention
We rolled up to the next light and he was ready to play this time. I was in sport mode and when the light turned green we both got a good launch, he honestly tried, but saw nothing but tail lights until I shut it down @80. I slowed down and gave him the thumbs up for a nice run and he did the same.
I know he drove down the road scratching his head wondering what kind of soccer mom mobile just roasted his "musclecar"
It was probably just a warmed over 302/351, but it was fun watching this old Cobra try to keep up with the beast.

Surprised there are no ,"well, if it was a real Cobra with a Terminator glovebox and a stroked 351 pushing a Bell valve cover inlet with ported NOS jets and shiny wheels, he would have killed you." LOL. Nice kill.

Nice!! Kirkham is just down the road from me so there are 427 Shelby replicars all over the friggin. Safe to say I don't even try with them. Beautiful cars by the way! The sound of the Big Block into those side pipes is amazing.
