Default Surprised!!!

I was on my way home from work and I noticed a 05GT as I entered the highway. Never having raced one I kinda got in front of him to see if he would play. Sure enough, we started getting on it. The first few times we went at it I took him pretty good but he kept letting off. There was quite a bit of traffic so we couldnt really get a good stretch of road. So finally we got a good stretch and punched it from about a 50 roll. Surprisingly enough, we were neck a neck. Neither one of us pulled away from each other. I signalled him to get off the highway and talk. Come to find out he had done his gears, intake, exhaust, pulleys and alot of computer tuning. Wasnt a kill but it was really fun.

Neither can I. I've never lost to a mustang, mostly because i've only raced about 6-8 total.

I forgot what else I was going to say..........

nothing wrong with friendly racing. It should always be that way, no doubt more fun.

Yeah ... they'll all talk your ear off about how fast their car is ... but when it comes down to it, there's always an excuse.

I played with one on the highway Fri afternoon. I was running 75 when he came up running about 90. I got over and let him go by. After he got about 7-8 car lengths ahead I hit the gas and caught up to let him know I wanted to play. He took off and I pursued. My speedometer only goes to 120, so I have no idea how fast we were going. I stayed with him for about 2 minutes before pulling up beside him to let him know I could pass him if I wanted. I thought it would be more difficult to keep up with the new GTs on the highway.

I can't get the 05 'Stangs to play at all, but for some strange reason 00-04 GTs and even V6's with fart-cannons will attack.

My favorite is when 2 ********* in a V6 convertible with some faked-up dual exhaust came buzzing around me on the highway. Hillarious! Heavy, under-powered, zero-aerodynamics, speed limited. What a joke!

I'd love to spank an 05, but they just won't bite.

I'm sure that it's hard to get the 05's to race you because they don't want to waste the gas on an easy kill. HA!

dont see quite why theres constantly so much stang animosity, but the 05's as far as i can tell are about on par with the ls1's, so this race is no surprise. sounds like a cool dude that you ran into, nice kill, death, or whatever it was..

I fell on the floor laughing from what you said, so funny and true.

I raced a 05 stang from about a 30mph roll, it was a short burst race but I started to walk away right from the start. They are so sweet looking though.

Awww, isn't that cute.

Ugly + mid-life crisis + knows nothing about cars = thinks stock 05 GT's and cobra's are fast.

Good luck with that lady.

Hahahah you guys better watch out! I was at the track Friday night and saw a puke green 05 GT run a 12.72 around 110mph.

I was impressed until I found out that he was running drag radials and a SUPERCHARGER!

If I had ANY supercharged car and it was still in the 12s, I'd be pissed.
