On my way to work this moring cruzing at about 75. I check my mirror for a lane change then do a double take. YES a 1/8 mile back i see what may be an 05 mustang. I slow down to 65 and once he gets close enough I was sure it was one. I drop down into 3rd ( A4 2.73's ) then he come along side of me. I burp the throttle a little no go. I look over and this guy my age 25ish is on his cell and just smiles. I point at him and gesture for us to get going there is no traffic. He slows to 55 and hits it and let off right away. I go into 2nd cut-outs screaming now at about 3500rpm Burp it a few more times he just will not bite. I am pretty upset. I've seen a few V-6's around but this is my first encouter with a GT. I even passed my exit for work for this chance to run. Oh well I'm sure I'll meet one at the track this summer. Has been posted at LS1.com & hideout.

I hope, just not sure with the 2.73 in all. I've got to get my 3.73's install ASAP.

What's the temperature in Wisconsin...20 degrees? You roll up on me in those conditions and there's no way I'm racing. The rear end would come around immediately. Just a thought...

I'm sure it was stock so you would've *** whipped him if he bit.

It's -7 or -27 with the wind chill No salt on the roads we just had rain 2 days ago. Wi wheather sux. I don't have enough HP with 2.73 to break em lose at that speed.

Actually, at that speed you might be better off with 2.73's. With 2.73's at 65 MPH you could recover second gear on a downshift and run second gear to over 85. With 3.73's you'd be in third the whole time. Anyhow I rode in an '05 GT with a 5-speed and from a roll I think it would run about even with my A4 Formula. I'm pretty sure neither car would pull away hard from the other.

You may be right I don't shift into 3rd until about 95 and 4th at 135mph.

I was going to say the same thing!! And yeah, i've missed my exit a few times trying to get a race With my 3.23's I can catch a 4th to 2nd downshift at 70mph max, anything over that and I catch 3rd and it's a dog!
