Default Challenge then back away WTF????

Was driving to work this morning, pulled out on the highway going WOT up thru 4th in the process catching and passing a brand new 06 GT, so this guy starts pacing me, and I'm thinking cool I get to try a new stang so I downshift to 3rd and let him hear the pipes snarl, so we slow to about 40, and I let him know I'm giving him the go, so he hits the gas, and so do I
I take off and leave him like he's standing still, WTF??? I'm thinking GTs aren't that slow are they?, so I hit the brakes and slow down again to let him catch up (thinking ok maybe he fucked up somehow), and the guy won't get next to me, like he's scared or something
I get sick of playing around, and just get back up to 75 and cruise the rest of the way to work (he works at the same place I do, so I guess I'll try to find him and ask what was up)

Kinda weird for him to do that.
Maybe he thought he saw a patrol car lurking behind him or something.

It was 0530, and there was nothing on the road for at least 3 miles, maybe he thought I was a cop (tho I've yet to see a cop in a WS6 with blackbird stripes and a loud exhaust )

Dunno if Ford has that recommendation in their manual, I wasn't going to race the guy until he started pacing me and acting like he wanted a run

^^^Yeah I missed the "challenged me" part I guess if there was a "break in" he wouldn't be challenging you

Your exhaust like mine scares off most of the want a be's. Then again most want a be's are smart enough to know the difference between a loud exhaust and a modded engine with a loud performance exhaust.

95BlownCobra, I agree. So many people ask me at the light "you wanna race"? I look at what they are running, do a tap of the gas, then look over and say not today, but thanks, and leave them sitting looking dumb.
