Default New Mustang GT keeps beating me!!

Its a new gt, the guy is in his mid-late 30s and hes been out every weekend. I've raced this guy acouple times, first time was going up a hill, and my transmission was in its dead spot 80 kmh. He beat me by 4-5 cars to 180 kmh, he was alone i was with a chick. Next race was last night, i was doing around 65-70 kmh right at the top of 1st. We hit it and through second it was even but after 150 he pulled 1.5 - 2 cars and shut down at 200. I gave him a thumbs up and he gave me this cocky wave, once again he was alone and i was with a chick. I'm very close to saying screw my warrenty and putting my 100 shot, getting a tune and go kill this guy lol

Screw your warranty. 100 shot will take care of that.

Obviously the GT has more mods than you at this point. If it bothers you to that extent...you already know what you have to do.

2 different cars. He might have mods as well. He's riding in a rock and you have comfort.

A good driver on his mark can pull mid 13's out of a stock 05+ GT. Most average drivers will be in the 13.7-14.0 range. But if it has mods (which this GT probably does)....could be anything.

However, I'm not so sure a dig race will be in your best interest. If nothing else, the new GTs can come out of the hole pretty well. I know those GXP's can run with the best of them with the right mods, but FWD is still an asspain to overcome on a launch compared to RWD....especially when putting down some good power numbers.

its funny cause before we got past some cars and did the real race he was behind me about 2 cars, i hit it and he didn't gain anything.
I know that fwd screws me over cause of weight transfer, etc. but i can launch this thing pretty well, I think racing from a dig takes a lil more skill, this engine revs pretty quick too.

I think i am going to do that. I just have a dry shot right now and i dunno if i should go with a wet one just to be on the safe side. I have another car incause something happens, but can i take the warrenty off so i don't have to have pay that no more? its not a factory one

Based on how many lengths you say he won by I am not so sure 100 shot would make you the victor here.

Dude.....I'm messing with the guy, stop crying about it. (that was serious) IE: chill the F out.

My tears are dry, but my feelings are still hurt. Might want to take your own advice and chill out, because the guy was obviously kidding, unlike you with your super-serious 'defender of the mustangs' post.

Stay righteous Mustang brotha'
Can I get an amen?

This made me laugh. GT's from what I encountered...are slow. Embarrassingly slow.
