Spanked a new 5.0, twice So last Saturday, I was driving on Sunset (in Mexico) and while stopped at a light (car in front of me) a new, black Stang pulls up next to me.
I look over and see the "5.0" badge behind his front wheel. I look over at my wife and smile. She says, "Don't, we're in the wrong lane". The right hand land is full of bump and potholes.
I said, "we can't, we have cars in front of both of us anyway".
We come finally line up at a red light, and I drop into 3rd and turn off ASR. You know, Just "in case".
Light turns green and he hit's it, so I accidentally hit it too. I quickly pass him, he starts to catch up when I'm in 2nd and i'm in front my a length and a half in 3rd.
I quickly slow down as it is Saturday evening and don't really like to be messing around on streets.
A couple of signals later we get lined up again.
This time I'm ready as I know he's pissed (his driving habits after the last race indicated this.
Light turns green and he is at my rear tire for first, behind me for second, hits his rev limiter as I hit 3rd, and I'm gone. I slow down and he stays behind me until my turn off. He hit's it, so I decide to take the next turn off, but we never get lined up again.
It was one of the fastest cars that I've gone up against.

My car has 116K miles on it. I do have a little bit of suspension work, 3.73's and have been playing with HpTUners a little bit, but I also have a heavy convertible, and on this occasion, 3 people in the car and well as a bunch of tools and crap in the trunk.
I often wonder if my previous owner did anything to my car, because I've run and spanked Challenger SRT, charger SRT, (hideous orange & black) Porsche GT3. The Porsche was a funny story. The only thing that I've run, but can't rally say spanked was an Audi R8. We were neck and neck most of the time. Sometimes me in front, other times he was. It was all about the driver and who got to the curve first. There were times I had to back off of him or I'd rear end him.
I guess drivers on Sunset (in Mexico) really can't drive.

) don't know how to drive their vehicle. There is a line that I love from the original Dawn of the dead movie. They are in a sporting good store looking at an expensive rifle. As one of the SWAT members looks through the scope, he tells the other "The only guy that can miss with is is the guy that can afford it"
