Default chalk one up for the TBSS

i was on the way to get some Mexican food for lunch today with one of my buddys that works for me. well we are almost there when i see this mustang up ahead, it said gt on it and was a 99+ but it was weird that he didn't have the 3 bar taillights there were shaped the same but all one block. anyway his exhaust sounded really good. so i gave him a rev to see if he wanted to play. noone ever wants to waste their time racing a SUV. but he was actually game, we took off and i waited for him to hit it then i just planted the gas, we were even for a second then i slowly walked by him he was at my rear bumper by 110 or so. i didn't look at the speedo but it was half way or more thru 3rd. we went a couple times with similar results. one time he did get the jump on me and i was pulling him back in but he quite so i guess he could say he won that one. but the guy was really surprised and asked what i had, we were going 60 or so and i hate yelling so i just said a 6 liter. and he shrugged.
p.s. what year has those tail lights

Nice kill. There was a TBSS running 11.1xx at the track last night. Obviously they can be badass.

Machs have that little **** on the side that says Mach 1, and the raised hood scoop. I think different wheels as well.

Good kill! I really like those TBSS's, very cool rides.

LOL at the gas mileage thing. Everyone asks what I get with the G8, but I just laugh. I've never checked it and I dont care. My foot is pretty much to the floor or it's parked.

i totally agree, my buddy who's got a Cobalt SS/SC, always jokes about gas mileage and asks me what kinda mileage you get after stating how great of mileage he gets.

I always respond i didnt buy the car for gas mileage, otherwise i'da bought a fucken TDI or smart car.

But 14's not too bad for a big SUV especially with a 6.0!
