Well I was rolling down 52/85 coming back to Charlotte from Winston the other night, just minding my own. When my lights caught the infamous COBRA stainless letters on the back of a red Termi...yey.
I've been wanting to get at one of these for a while now...so I roll by looking over just seeing if he's interested. See the driver give me a thumbs up and then BOOM out of no where he takes off. Now that's not racing etiquette is it? So, I speed up to catch him. By the time I make my way back up we're in a decent amount of traffic. So we have some fun and weave a bit until we're out in front.
From the original take off I swear it sounded like a pullied car for sure, ATLEAST a exhaust cause that sucker was loud and sounded great. So we slow up to about 60, he jumps a few times, calms down, honks and he jumped a car instantly.
Now here's the wierd thing...after the initial jump, from 60-120ish, I realed him back in half of that car. Apparently he was not pullied. Because rumors are that if a Termi is pullied/tuned/exhaust they're makin somewhere in the ballpark of 450-500. So I'm assuming it was just an exhaust car. Granted I know I'm lighter because I ditched a BUNCH of stuff when I did the swap, but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference. Either that or he sucks at driving.
Well...to make sure. We went at it again. SAME THING! I was THOROUGHLY impressed with my baby afterwards that's for sure. After that we rolled side by side for a few miles until we waved and he got off somewhere after Lexington.
I'm not going to lie, that was the fastest I've ever made it back to Charlotte from Winston :) haha!
