Default 02-04 GT Owned...

Going through traffic today I let a guy in a white 02-04 Mustang GT pull out in front of me off a side road. Instead of heading up the way I would normally go, I followed him toward the 4 lane hoping for a race. As soon as the 2 lane went to 4, he whipped into the left hand lane and black smoke billowed out his exhaust, which sounded awesome. I hit the left lane also, car in the right lane (mind you this was at 30mph) and I had to let off not 3 seconds later or I would have rear ended him. So I got off of it and waited for him to put enough space btwn him and the other car so that I could hit the right lane. I got back on it and passed him like a freight train. I pulled a good 4 cars on him by 110mph and shut down. We hit a red light a few seconds later and he pulled up beside me. I expected him to be a dick but he just had a smile on his face with his thumb up and said, "That is a fast car.." I told him that his car sounded awesome and he turned off. Cool guy, wish there were more like him.

I never assumed that they were. A majority of my good friends drive Mustangs. Every crowd has more than their share of ****, LS1s included..

Wow, I thought F-bod owners were the insecure ones, why ELSE would you need that much power

One mechanic ran me (jumped me actually from 1.5 cars ahead in an M6 TA) I floored it (in 2nd at 20mph) and proceeded to catch up and pass him. By 60ish he was making a strong comeback, but then a car pulled in front and we stopped. I signaled him to pull off at a school (after hours, just big parkinglot) to ask him WTF!? how did I win? and he kept going I guess he was emberassed. I really should NOT! have pulled him, I ran low 14's @98.54 last time out. Tuned PIG RICH! but I am planning on going LS1 and it scared me that I beat one like that


GOOD KILL ON THE MUSTANG! though!

One of the following for the LS1 you ran.
1) He couldn't drive
2) He let off
3) His car runs like total ****

He had to wind up a bit to catch me. Floored it and then I passed him and I guess he cam into his powerband. But he DEFINITELY jumped me. we were under a double underpass when he floored it, DEFINITE change in tone...

A motor swap is very possible, but It would NOT have got me in the UPPER rpms, but rather the lower, if at all if it were an LT1. It was 110% new body style. I eye-raped it for a full minute at the stop light, lol.
