Default Shelby gt500 kill!!!

So I was driving around minding my own business when a guy in a gray Shelby with black stripes pulls up next to me at the red light. I lookeed over at him and he kept blipping the throttle and I started to smerk with a childish grin on my face as I knew what future event was about to take place. The light hit green and I eased into first as he popped it. He was about 2 car lengths ahead of me as I ramped through first and slammed second as my car hooked like never before (Courteousy of my BMR equipment Thanks Dennis!). I Pulled him as I shifted to third. As I was raping it, I could hear his supercharger struggle to try to keep up. I barked fourth with about 3 car lengths and then at 6 lengths I shut it down. I was so amped and proud of my baby that I spent 2 hours earlier dialing in the suspension. Damn I love these adjustable suspension parts. Atleast I know the power I make actually gets where it needs to go. As I made my turn I gave a knod as he passed and gave me a thumbs up. Until we meet again....Next time I'll have the heads and et streets..not that I needed them.

You ran down a GT500 from 2 cars back and won by 6 with your mods? I guess good kill. Not sure what your car should trap with those mods....

Could be... but his sig says he's in the 12 sec club ( sadly I'm not there yet ) and I don't see a 12 sec car yanking another 12 sec car like that with less power and possibly a lower trap.

so basicly your saying that you overcame 2 lengths and pulled 6 for a total of 8?? good kill i guess but that seems a bit far fetched.

That is true but you never know how well the other guy can drive also, my TA with suspension,lid,ported TB,and Loudmouth with shorty headers kept right next to a GT500 on the freeway. Granted,it was a vert, he had a passenger and had the car for only a couple months. It just shows how much a good driver comes into play with those cars...and ill be the first to say it,He SHOULD have beat me.

I agree on teh doubtful 8 lengths. Nice kill though as a kill is def. possible. At first I would think it was a GT with a body kit, btu you said you heard the S/C. maybe after he had the 2 lengths on you he decided to let off of WOT. If he launched well enough to gain 2 lengths on the get go, I dont' see how he is a crappy enough driver to have lost 8 lengths.

Maybe the OPS sig isnt' updated with mods though.....like a nice bottle?

honestly, i dont think anyone can estimate car lengths perfectly, especially if you are more worried about shifting and hes behind you. GT500s dissapoint me in a big way though, i wanted a s197 mustang when i was younger until ford decided it was acceptable to make one that weighed two tons WITH a solid rear end... pitiful.
