Default GT 500. Quick kill.

Soo. I was going west, towards my north bound highway enterance...I saw another car, going towards me(east bound), about to make the same north bound enterence. It was about 100 yards in front of me, it took the entry very fast. At this point, I couldn't tell what it was, just that it took the on ramp pretty fast. So, I downshifted to 3rd gear, and took the corner as fast as my tires would allow,...now WOT in attempt to run this car down. As I got closer, i realized it was a red mustang, w silver or white stripes. As I got closer,...I realized it was a shelby. Who was now caught behind a slower car entering the ramp.

I pulled directly off his ***, downshifting to second gear, making as much noise as possible.

I don't think the shelby new what kind of car I was, since he could only see my roof line in his mirror...and the HIdizzle's where lighting his car up in HIGH DEFF.

I guess he felt he needed to go around the slower car in front of him,...so...he STABBS it, which I was anticipating, so I was on it as quick as he was. he drove around the car in front(on the slower cars left),....and I was attempting to go around the shelby. By the top of 2nd gear, I had already passed him, and layed him on my bumper, I hit third gear, and placed another two cars on the shelby, then lifted.

At that moment, I was ******* amped. The shelby stayed back. I slowed, as much as I could, waiting for a dead even race but, he would not come up at all. He wanted nothing to do with round two. Either way, I'm guessing it was bone stock, due to it's lack of performance it showed. After 1 mile of taunting the dude, my exit was there.....and yes, I gave the ****** my hazard lights. 1 flash.

Anyways...it was no big deal.

Judging by your mods, it was probably a GT500. Bone stock LS1's can outrun lightly modded GT's failry easily....

No, it was a gt 500 for sure. I thought the one in the lower picture was another version of the blown 500.

I knew i was gonna gank him.

He seemed like he was driving pretty aggressive before I passed him, and before he knew what I was. I think once I blew by him, he must have been like HOLY ****!!! WTF? He had to of. lol. I wish I had video but, whatever. It really wasn't a big deal,..I have raced cars that where MUCh faster, with less power. Mustangs included.

Those things either need a bagillion horsepower, or go on a jenny craig weight loss plan.

Good kill, but why act like a ricer? I mean, damn...you have a fast vette. I can't imagine acting that way after I wasted a new Z06...

Yo J,

Sometimes the guys that buy new "fast" cars need to be told that, "just because it's the fastest car you've ever driven doesn't make it the fastest car ever driven."

My little bitch is fast, but I know lots of cars that will make her blush!

Good run down!

The "Hertz" shelby is a GT-H...then there is the GT500.

Ah,..personally...maybe you don't know this about me...I don't give a **** of what it is exactly what you think.

The hazard lights are a quick way of saying..."gotcha bitch!" Nothing more, nothing less. I don't drive down the road with the hazards on, all thugged out and ****...I just give one quick flash to say..."HA!".

I do the same thing if I am driving fast with a car(or bike) that I just met on the highway....and one of us is exiting...they give a wave...i'll throw a hazard at them. Big ******* deal. It's a way to communicate and It's my style....you don't like it....suck *****.
