Default 05+ gt

so im on my way to the drag strip to race my dad (which i beat) when i pull up next to a red gt mustang 05 or newer. were doin about 50-55 i have my buddy in the car t-tops off and windows down. the guy looks over at me and hits it i let him get about 3 lengths before my friend looked at me with a puzzled look at that moment i drop the hammer and put at least a bus on him by 130mph at the next red light he look over puzzled but gave me a thumbs up. i think it kinda hurt him a little to know that a kid (im 19 could out run him like that).my dad must have felt the same when i put a car on him in his 95 vette.

Im curious also as to the specs on your car, I've raced several and the one I beat the worst was from 40 to 120 and I only had about 3-4 cars on him, I was running n/a.

Yeah, and if you only put one car on a '95 Vette, I'd like to know the mods on the Corvette as well...

Well considering it should be a fairly close race, I'm pretty sure he let off if you put bus lengths on him. Unless you've got a H/C package, Nitrous, or some other form of FI.
