Fort Worth 06/05 820/35W Silver/Pewter T/A, Who are you? On 820E Fossil creek area I came up on a Black Mustang GT and a Silver/Pewter T/A about 15 mins ago.
Two guys in the T/A ,Passenger looked like he was filming.
I was in my black Formula....
If you see this post up! Car is quick! I had already passed either of the two exits remotely close to my home so I had to exit at Tarrant Pkwy, sorry about that!
Post the vid too when you get it!

I honestly don't remember if it had blue wheels or not. And we never raced straight up because we did a pretty fast run and something didn't feel right with my car.
By the time we actually got lined up and down to 60mph, we had just both come down from going about 145 in the same lane, with him behind me.
When I had hit 140 my car sounded and felt like a train was about to run over me, I don't know what the hell is wrong with it but it's been happening since about the time I got my 4.10s. I can't tell if it's in the tranny or the rear.
Anyway once I slowed off it, he got up next to me and we were even at 60, and he was punching it a few times but I was a little hesitant, he hit it and got a TINY jump on me before I hit it, but once I did I was like AH **** this! I'm about to sell my truck and if I **** something up on my car right now I'd be really screwed, so I pretty much just shut it down and took the next exit.
I'm pretty sure he would have beaten me, which would be the first person so far. I just don't get alot of races, my car isn't mad fast like some of you guys.
Tough call though, when we were in the same lane and I was behind him (before exiting 820 to 35), he was lined up with the GT and when they hit it, I hit it. We were fairly even the whole time, so it's hard for me to say.
The GT followed us but didn't even try :dunno:
I didn't not race him because I was scared I'd lose, I would actually have loved to lose to motivate me to work on the engine instead of buying a gixxer
After I pulled off the exit my tranny was whining like a ****, went away after sitting overnight, but I just can't risk it right now.
His car was definitely fast though. Sounded good too!
Looked like he had true duals with sideways slash cut tips close to the rear.
he had the middle rear panel blacked out.

I figured that as well... not sure I like it. I might switch to 3.92s
140 is too slow to top out at, I go 130 about every morning on my way to work

My car feels really slow today too, probably all in my head.
