Default First kill for the 402 LSX..

I was at a light and a 03/04 GT Mustang was infront of me. I revved up just to see if he noticed..he took off when the light turned green, I got along side of him. We went from a 65mph dig..I let him get the jump, then I put it to the floor an pulled some carlengths on him, pretty much toasting his ***. I slowed down ane he got along side of me, he was like damn..that's bad ***..

We pulled over at a Gas Station and BS'd for a bit, he was pretty cool. I told him what is in my Engine, he pretty much was like **** that..

He had 3.90 Gears..thought that he could smoke the "LT1 Car".
