00 Z28 vs. Mustang
It was a late cool Friday night and I was heading up the viaduct to go see my sis and her bf to go have a few beers. I notice a shined up white stang with black rims creep beside me. I give my Z a rev and he stays beside me. I figure he doesn't want anything to do with the Z so i get in the turning lane after I miss my turn and I see he does the same a block down the road with no intention of turning. I see he wants to go so we cross the river still on the 4-lane and we line up going about 40-50 give or take. I give the signal and he gets a little jump on me and then pulls by me by about 2 cars. I'm thinking wtf? We go one more time and again he gets a head start. I notice my A4 didn't shift down for me so I didn't have it wide open. I signal for him to flip a bitch and we talk for a few minutes. Turns out he's owned several camaro's, mostly lt1's and says he's run a 10.9 in the past with an lt1. So I'm thinking wtf is he doing in a Stang. He says he just purchased it and we tell each other all we got is exhaust and he has a 5 speed. I tell him one more try and we head back towards town. We start at about 15-20mph give or take and I get a little loose and gain a 1/2 car on him. I get up to about 55 and get loose again. By the time I'm at 60 I got prolly one car on him and still pullin' hard. Just an estimate by the time I'm at 100 I notice he gave up so i slow way down and then we talked as we drove and he said he was just babying it. I'm not sure if he was BS'in, but I'm counting it as a kill in my book. It was GT 03-04. Not sure, forgot to ask. Cool guy.

I don't think 03-04 GT's are so slow that you can get away with not even going WOT, especially with just some exhaust work on an A4 car. Sounds like he was a cool guy though.

Race 2= you lost because of trans/not WOT
Race 3= you ahead by 1
How is this a kill?
Sounds like a good time anyway.

After that i couldn't see him anymore and just watched the road till i hit 100 and I seen him way back there maybe 75 ft. or so. So i knew he gave up and I shut it down at about 110. Probably should of went one more time I guess.
Good kill/death

when you said viaduct I had to look over and read where you were from. STAY AWAY FROM TUCKEY! I didn't even realize you were from Omaha till I read that.
Just got er eh? Well if you ever feel like some company playin around the area, shoot me a pm. I'm actually just a step behind you, but will be getting headers here before fall.
Hmm, thing I saw that same GT over in South O a few days ago. Didn't bother to flip a b*tch cause I was at a light. I hate when people do that just to show off.
Good story though.

This was in Columbus, but I'm sure there are a 20 mustangs around here that fit that description. Who knows, maybe he lives in Omaha. But yea If you ever want to beat up on some mustangs, Columbo is the place. Don't get me wrong though, I've seen several saleen's there that could hold their own.
