Default 07-09 saleen vs 00 z28 A4

So I take a little detour getting off work seen that there is a saleen behind me. .... He gets next to me and give it a little rev. Passenger looks over, so now know he heard atleast. So I hear a rev back. I talk to the guy and ask he wants to get a little run, even though I knew I was gonna get walked. So we catch a small stretch and I honk it off. We both get on it and we are pretty even till about 65 (starting at 30) I pull away about half fender. He let's go due to traffic. Once again I honk it off and same result. Finally a light, yes! Nope nevermind. A cop is next to us. I talk to the guy and said it was an N/A stang. Now I see why I pulled some. Cops turns left and we get about half mile down and I honk it off. Long stretch. At the top of 3rd I pulled about 2 1/2 cars. Nice ride but not worth the money IMO. He said they were on the way to pick up a saleen for his bro that was sitting next to him. He might change his opinion after that. Specially that I told em it was bone stock.

After my girl got the car, she loved it. After about 5,000 miles she started to finally complain about gas. So that means nag nag nag. Lol. So I'm sure your girl doesn't complain about gas as much. Keep the yaris and get her an F body on the side.

lmao. Your right though, her Yaris takes 20 bucks to fill the tank. I'm sure if she drove a Camaro she'll start to wonder why it's taking more then double that to fill it up lol. Wouldn't mind getting her one for the weekends though. Girls driving f-bodies is the sexiest thing in the world

Good kill, but 3v's need a little work to keep up with our cars. I raced a 3v one time with intake, tune, and axle-back exhaust, 5 speed auto, when I just had the headers/lid/exhaust and 2.73's untuned, and on a 30-130 I got him by about 2 1/2 cars. With the tune and 3.73's i'd suspect the outcome would be much different. Although I have seen some head/cam 3v's that can hold their own

That sounds like a REALLY shitty driver in the Mustang. Even you have to admit that.

I can't speak for the guy in the stang but I know my friend is a really good driver. I think I'm a good driver but he is better.
