Ssr Got Spanked Me and my boy were heading home from OC Md. last weekend and this SSR is riding my butt
Its like 1am and we've got the top down (86 Drop-top GT Mustang) Just trying to get home (hurt the tranny in OC
)
So this SSR is all over my bumper....I got a car in front of me going slow....just as I PUT my blinker on to change lanes to go around the slower traffic...this SSR floors it and tries to over take the Stang>>>> as I'm coming over
Now, the driver is acting stupid...blowing the horn and riding my A$$ again
After a very eventful weekend in OC
......more trouble is the last thing I needed 
LOL
So I change lanes and drop a gear
wait for this character to jump on it and just as it gets to my rear tire, I drop the hammer
....in 3rd the stang straight walks away from it...so I wait up for it and do it again (in 4th) this time leave it floored til this tool had enough and gives up.
Not sure what year the SSR was 05 (390hp) or 04...never got a good look at it
Stang has: GT40 Y heads, E-303 cam, Cobra intake, T-body, exhaust and 373 gears.....runs a 12.80 @ 108 on a DR with full interior and stock suspension.

I've had the chance to drive a new '05 SSr in a test roadcourse- it's a neat ride, but still a relatively easy kill for most.
