Default Dissapointed a proud new '10 mustang GT owner

This happened just a few minutes ago on my way to the store by my house to pick up some food. I turned right onto a 3 lane wide road to get to the store, and I see a white mustang a couple cars behind also turning the same way. I'm in the middle lane doing the speed limit, and as he gets up I see its a brand new '10 style with dealer tags still on it. He gets in the left turn lane at the next light, but then suddenly jumps out into the left straight lane so we both pull up to the red light at the same time.

I see him looking over at me grinning and jumping his car forward at the light. then he rolls down the window and goes "Oh thats a cute firebird"... well now you can guess its on like donkey kong. I shake my head and point at the light.

Light goes green, and we both pull away kinda slow due to the traffic cameras, hes about 1/2 car ahead and I hear him punch it. I got in it too quick and blew 1st gear out of the water, banged off the limiter, and slammed second. By some voodoo magic 2nd dead-hooks, and the guy is still ahead, my door at his quarter panel. I blew past him like he wasn't moving, tagged 3rd and let off at around 105 with him about 6-8 cars back, maybe more. I can't estimate distance too well once the car takes up less than 1/8th of my mirror . He quickly turns left into a housing lot and makes a U turn and hurries the other way. That was the only time I got a good look at that hideous *** end they put on the new body style I'm pretty sure he let off when he saw he was getting raped in the booty, so I'm still curious what the result would have been if he kept in it up to 120 or so.

I'm not even sure what your point is here, are you trying to be funny? Am I supposed to reply with some snappy line about a cute pony?

I just looked at the vid in your sig, car sounds nice. How much power does it make? I personally really like the SN95 rounded style stangs, I've been looking at them for a DD for a while now.

You're right...he's headed back to the dealer. When the "options" guy told him to purchase the FRPP Whipple kit he said he didn't need it. He's hightailin' it back to have that sucker installed!
