Default Killed an 05+ roush

Was heading home from the gym and spotted a dark gray 05+ mustang with a different spoiler and rear fascia. so i lined up to him at about 55 which is a good spot for me and i saw it was an older guy on his cell phone. gave a fit revs and he took the bait and dropped it into a lower gear and he punched it. he caught me off guard a little and then i floored my car and he immediately pulled 3/4 car on me, he then granny shifted it and i pulled. by about 85 i had like 1.5 cars on him. he was kinda being a douche cause i slowed down to wave and he had a pissed off look on his face and turned off. This car was beautiful, perfect stance, i was surprised i pulled on him but i think it woulda been different if he wasnt on the phone. I then came to find out its a friend of someone my dad knows and he has the roush exhaust.

Not surprising. They are heavier than stock GTs because of the suspension and 'body kit'...and have virtually the same HP.....Nice job though.......Most of teh S197 stangs I ahve run into think they own the road....image owners.

Yes.

Stage 1 - full ground effects/body kit 18" wheels and i think exhaust
stage 2 - full suspension package +1 all that of stage 1 and maybe some bolt ons
stage3 - stage 1 and 2 plus a few other boltons, some nice seats, redone interior, other odds and ends and yes a supercharger.

yeah dude those cars are quick (doesn't mean i like them) I know this girl in KilleenTX she's a girly girl but has a stage 2 roush with a roush super charger she added after she had it a while, a nice tune and i'm sorry but only the new shelby is catching that one.

I used to hate mustangs, before I bought my ls1 f-body. Now I just feel bad for them.
