Default Crapstang goes down!

So im just driving around town minding my own business with my cutout open (lts, ory, cutout, hehe) when i pass this half primer, half paint, half other color paint stang, mustve been a 98 or so, loud *** exhaust, it was loud and shitty sounding, so i blip the throttle and downshift because there was traffic in front of me, and he thinks im revving it at him, he decides hes gonna rev it too. wow sounded bad.

There is too much traffic so i back off a bit and let him get next to me. from a second gear pull he floors it before me and i put it to the floor and pull hard past him and by the time i was shifting into 3rd he was about 2-3 cars back, and he immediatley turns onto a different road. meh

i dont know what he had but it was probably stock, and sounded like ***, and slow. not exactly the best kill ever but GM = 1 Ford = 0

yeah i was, i let the traffic ahead get FAR away, thats pretty much the reason why it was only a 2nd gear pull. if i kept going i wouldve had a very expensive mercedes-benz hood ornament.

An ORY with an open cutout doesn't sound that great either.

Good kill on the Mustang anyway. Too bad he didn't stick around for your 3rd gear.

dude you shouldnt have raced him, they shouldnt think that they think we "want" to race them cause we think they're fast..im sure that's what stang drivers think. An 03 GT tried racing me today and just gave him a smile and made him feel really dumb, i think that's more entertaining than wasting my gas on those POS's

Well, if the guy seem cool and just wants to run for fun I'll race just about anything up to 75 MPH. Hell, some kids in a ford exploder wanted to race me to see what the C6 would do....I even gave them a quick run.

But...if the dude seems like a chode and I think he might do something stupid I'll just through a little rev and give a thumbs up.

Good kill

If you live in the DFW area you should know that there are plenty of stock looking GTs around here that would put many cars to shame... I'm sure your car is fast and all, but don't be so cocky

Oh, and good kill OP

Same thing when you pull up against a viper. They dont' want to waste their gas on you. Doesn't feel good does it? Its all relative. Atleast give him the respect of a challenge. You Chebby guys are so brand loyal its comical. -Mark

Bitemark46 - Brand loyal for a good reason...
that reason is....

because the mustang needs a super or turbo to keep up

and the LS1's do 13.3/13.4 IN STOCK FORM.

what mustang does 13.3 in the 1/4 all stock besides for the supercharged ones? NONE
