Default quick work of a 5.0

the other day i was coming home from work sitting at a light and this blue/gray 5.0 pulls up, the guys starts reving at me, so i rev back and that brings a big smile on his face
i'm thinking what does this guy have, his stang sounded pretty good, well any way the light turns green and he jumps on it, lots of wheel spin, so i hit it. by the end of 1st he's dropped to my bumper, i hear him chirp second, so i grab second, by the end of second he's about 2 cars behind me, so i slow down, he pulls along side me and says he couln't get traction, so i'm like wanna go again?? he then asks me doesn't that have the 350hp ls1?? ....i said no it has the 305ci v8
just kidding,, i said no its the 6.0 400hp gto, with this dumb look on his face he said oooooh.... : i said lets go again, he said no lets go fron a 20mph roll so he would have better traction.. no problem i tell him to honk 3x and go, he honked and floored it (slight wheel spin), so i hammered it, by the end of first he was at my door, i hit second, put 2 cars again by the of 2nd, i hit third he was about 3 or 4 cars back then he turned down a street....oh well i guess his feelings were hurt

This is not Tamparacing.com , theres no need for you to lie, that 5.0 was bolt on close to stock , you lost to a GTI and a N/A Integra, ok ?

sorry about the rant fellas, I cant stand stuff like this .

Yea.. Those 5.0's can be real mean. Especailly a completely built 347 Stroker with a blower and gas.. And not to mention a 3 speed drag transmission.. That race didn't turn out the best for me..

Probably because you can't beat any more lol j/k. I don't know why some guys knock these cars, I own one and know what one with aluminum afr's and a decent cam can do. It pains me to say this but kudos on the kill.
