Not Ranked
On Hwy 99 North of Bakersfield was three lanes narrowing down to two by losing the left lane where I was doing the flow of traffic about 85mph. Semi traffic to my right allowed for no lane change but I saw that I could move right if I stomped on it to get past the lead semi in the middle lane. I had never punched it in that car before and in a very loud jiffy I had moved over and the lead semi was way behind me. As I let off the pedal and looked down the speedo was dropping down through the 120's so I figure that we prolly hit 130 - I was unaware of how fast that could happen. It was a foolish mistake on my part and underscores what I've heard Cobra owners express as their car's mantra: "If you take me for granted, I'll kill you."
