Typical Mustang owner... *sigh* So I'm coming down the freeway on my way home in the CTS-V, and this decent looking 2011 5.0 Mustang with exhaust on comes up trying to play. I figured - sure, why not, we have some room.
1st run:
I get next to him and he does a typical ricer-fly by and I start making up ground but we ran out of road, so I let out.
2nd run:
We line up, I downshift into third, as he hears me downshift, he takes off - same story, I let out early. At this point I'm getting a little annoyed, but whatever.
3rd run:
Finally we line up again and he rolls the window down asking to go a third time. He goes, "Not bad for a car with a huge *** blower on it." I go, "Huh? You spraying?" He goes, "No man, just exhaust... I just got it." I'm thinking
... We decide to give it another go and as I downshift to get in gear I'm right on his bumper, he takes off again. SERIOUSLY?!?! 
4th run:
I figure this is the last time, I'l go ahead and give it another go. We are doing about 45-50, I'm in 2nd gear and ready to hit full boost if he jumps the gun again. I roll the window down, we lined up, he asks, "Are you ready?" I said, "Sure - let's go." We take off at the same time, hitting full boost pretty damn fast and 1 car length turns into 3 when I hit 3rd, once I'm in 4th and pulling pretty hard and let out as I'm coming up on traffic.
We didn't get to talk after that, but I'm sure all he had on there was exhaust..
Next time!

:bigthumb: That's the truth man... this heat is brutal. Free HP on the temp drop! It still runs pretty good even in the heat, but yeah you're right. I thought about upgrading to the F-1R though since all the bracketry is the same and running even more boost, but not sure how much my T56 is going to take. Decisions decisions!

edit:gk man.
what are you doing for a rear end? they break with a lot less power than you have. is your rear end setup posted anywhere. i ask because even though im pbobably getting tracy a XLR now, a early V is not out of the question. i wont get one just to have to engineer a rear end.

I guess what I'm getting at is I've put 4-5 cars+ on new Z06's, so if you tell me a new 5.0 Mustang is C6 Z06 fast with an exhaust I'd love to have some of what you're smoking.

I wouldn't give that statement too much thought
