Default Had some fun with a GT

I was stoped at a light and I see this nice looking mustang pulling out of the gas station in front of me. So I figure I'll catch up and check him out. I sped up to like 60 (we were in a 45), and started slowing down to just creep up along side of him. Now I'm going a little over 45 and he must of seen me coming cause by the time I got a car length behind him he just floors it. I guess he was smart enough to know he wouldn't have a chance, well he didn't have a chance anyway. As soon as I heard his exhaust(loud but sounded shitty) I floor it too and I just walk by him like he wasn't even racing. I think I was at 90 with too many car lengths to count before I let off. I'm not sure how long he tried to stay with me but it was a fun killing regardless.

To be honest I'm not sure what year. I think it was an 03 or 04. It was nice. The guy kept it nice and shinny. I would guess all he had done was exhaust. It sounded alright untill he floored it and then it sounded very bad. I usually like how mustangs sound. I would of asked some questions but he turned off at the next light. He was cool about it though, he gave me a wave before he turned.

Mostly true but not always He had obviously felt the wrath of an LS1 previously and was looking for any advantage he could get, lol. Good kill!

Not yet, but I'm going to try going this weekend. I hope with a good launch I can pull a 12.4-12.6.
