Default Raced a 05 Mustang GT

First off let me say that my car has only the bolt on's installed on my car, the cam, gears, clutch, ASP, and LCA aren't in yet. They will be within a month. But anyways here is my kill story.

Just cruising on the highway with my 3 friends and a full tank of gas, thats making my car weigh about 4,000lbs. All of a sudden a 05 GT pulls up along side of me and slams on the breaks. I look over and he starts to get on it. Down shift into 2nd, and just start reeling him in, passing him up by 3rd and just keep going. After I reach 120, I couldn't see him in my rear view, it was dark anyways.

I slow down and he catches up and tells me "Wow man that thing flies, lets go from 1st gear, slow down". So we start at 1st gear. This time the race was a lot closer. We were side by side untill I started to pull on him by the end of 3rd gear. Good race, cool guy. First 05 Mustang GT kill for me

No he wasn't stock. The car sounded like he had atleast exhaust work. I forgot to mention that.

Are those the ones that look like Jay Leno? I saw a Mustang the other day on this site that had the front bumper sticking out about 6" farther than it should be, lol.

That new Mustang has a very agressive geared auto transmission. They are quicker than alot of people think.

FM14 isn't in yet, will be in about a month. If the cam was in, I would of beaten the mustang by a lot more than I did But from the research I have done, the cam is suppose to be pretty streetable. I'll let you all know once it's in, keep an eye on the internal/dyno forums.
