Let me tell you a little story about the spider & the snake:
I drove my car to work yesterday, and went for a drive at lunchtime. The NorCal guy's will know where I'm talking about.
As I pulled the Cobra onto Hwy50, going East toward Lake Tahoe, at the Folsom Blvd on ramp, what do I see in my rearview mirror? A brand new, bright red Ferrari Spider, with the top down!
I slow down to the posted 65mph speed limit and allow him to catch-up. There are no other cars between us or up ahead. As the Ferrari gets even with me I down shift and punch it!
The blast from my 427's sidepipe was aimed right at his side door.
I see the surprised look on his face as I quickly get to 100+!
I slow down to 65 and in a minute he blows by me at 100+!
He slows down and we do this back and forth about five or six times for about 4 or 5 miles past Intel and Costco and up into El Dorado Hills. That Ferrari is fast!
The last time we get even we both punch it!
It was almost a dead heat, but I had him by about 1 car length when I shut down at 110mph!
I got off at the next exit and headed back to work. We parted company with waves & smiles!
Fair warning NorCal guy's, there is a new Ferrari in town, and this guy likes to play!

P.S. I must say that the sound of that Ferrari, going past at full throttle was awesome! What a car!
