Default Shelby GT Stang (HERTZ edition)

I ran into a new hertz gt and at the light i asked him "is that the 325hp edition?"" Because i know the the Hertz gt has 325hp. And he said "no its a shelby and he held up 4 fingers." So this guy tried to tell me he had 400 hp and i gave him a little laugh. So at the light we rolled off normal and then i got stuck behind him at the next light. He sped up because the road ahead was wide open. He then goes WOT. I was in 2nd and i got on the side of him and passed him then put about 2-3 cars on him before i let off. That car was very slow.
At the next light he asked if i was a stick and i said yea......then he said oh this is a automatic and its stock. Then he turned off the road.

He had a priceless look on his face when i was going by him at WOT with the cutout in his ear.
I can't believe he tried to tell me he had 400hp!!!

I honestly think this guy thought he had 400 hp. He was very serious. So that means i'm makin at least 450 to the wheels.

That is truely sad..........325 hp, and a nicely setup Auto, and he couldn't hang that well? I obviously haven't seen one run at a track (or in person) but I would have thought that would have been not as big a beating.....but, you never know. Nice kill.


AND, yes...the GT-Hs are ONLY Automatics. They did not make a single Manual GT-H.

I think thats what it was. Maybe he thought he would scare me buy saying he had 400hp. But of course i wouldnt back down even if he really did have 400.

They're mid 13s cars, and dyno in the 265-275rwhp range.
