Default My first GT500 experience

Hey guys Ive never posted here before but I had to share this story so Im driving along today about 45mph and I notice a blue GT500 with dealership writing all over its windsheild coming up behind me in the other lane. When he gets up to my rear bumper I here him get on it so I lay into mine. By this time we are about dead even and then I start pulling ahead. We run for a little over a quarter mile and I had him by about 5 car lengths when I let off. It was a pretty good race and I have to hand it to the other driver he still raced me even though the salesman was in the car with him.

LMAO the salesman looked scared. He probably scratched his head though when you ate his lunch.

Great kill! I haven't had any luck in finding one to play with, they can definitely be made to run strong but wow they are pigs personally if I were going to own a factory blown Stang it would have to be the terminator for sure. GT500 is a bit pricy in my opinion, but I guess you get the creature comforts and a bit of speed so to each his own I guess.

Umm...how could you look at that bird and think it's stock? D1 whine like a bitch. Sounds like a guy with alot of seat time in a GT500. Good kill though OP. By the way your car is awsome, why so low on the boost?

I call BS. GT500's are the fastest thing ever. My ZR1 would get walked by one....

Good kill. Love the test drive beat down. Now the salesman has to drop the price by how much aftermarket stuff he has to buy to make it fast......

Good kill.
