All right here is how it all happened.

I was heading down this road and he comes out to turn right and gets right behind me and tail gating me the whole time, we finally come up to a red light, I looked over, I had my windows rolled up so he didnt see me, I saw he had someone else in the car, and remind you I had 2 other people in the car 1 that weiged like 210 and another like 160, and me at like 190 then a full tank of gas and some golf clubs in the back. Ok so I take off normal and so does he, I was waiting to see if I heard his engine rev before he took off. So we come up to the next red light, we take off pretty normal, bringing it to about 4k in first gear and he took off sorta fast then about half way down he rocks back and forth next to me then downshifts it and guns it and gets in front of me, so I floor it(ATX) and it downshifts a gear and i start going right by him going about 50 and he is cruzin around 45 and he downshifts to 2nd and guns it, he stayed dead even with me all the way till 80 then i had to slam on brakes to go through this intersection with a big bump, I was trying to get in front of him to turn right but I couldnt but I was VERY suprised he didnt pull big time on me, yeah I know i had the momentum but still a GT mustang? 170hp with LOTS of weight in the car vs. GT Mustang w/ aftermarket exhaust a passenger and purple underbodies. I think he should of pulled a lot more than he did.

Sorry for the grammer or run-on's I just started typing, hehe. :)

P.S. This was also the first time I've ever really raced anyone or anyone try to challenge me, just had to post. :)

I think it was a Mustang 4 banger lx or ls I forget and not a GT 5.0, it would of blown the balls off of you...my thoughts

It was a brand new GT, well the new body design.. when he pulled infront of my I saw the chrome GT badge and the dual exhaust.

Well I have 2 friends to back me up so i dont really care.

Not really sure what to say other than... he either has a Mustang that runs 16s (fake badged V6?), or you have a Cougar that runs 13s :)

Whats the point in buying a dual exhaust, the GT bumper, and the fake badge, if people really do that they should be kicked in the ass. And plus when he downshifted you could hear the whole car rev up really high and that v8 and the exhaust sounded nothing like a V6, its like a whole different sound. People are like the dynomax sounds like a GT and it sounds not near at throuty. I have 2 friends to attest that is happened, i really hate this crap saying it didnt happen when it did, it makes really no point to have a "Road Tales" section if everyone is just bashing everyone.

The momentum is what helped me the most i know, my car was already climbing as he was cruizing at 45, so he had to take the time to let off the gas downshift then floor it, he got to about my rear quarterpanel then came up to my door and never left me.

nope... he isnt BS'ing...

there was a time where i had myself, and 3 girls in the car....(whoa, i sound like i could be a pimp :biggrin: )
anyway, a mustang (hardtop) pulled up next to me in the right lane... there was also a big bus less than a mile up in his lane, so i KNEW he wanted to pass me, and i know he WAS trying because his engine was going crazy

anyway, he just couldnt get up to pass me...i could see the nose of his car through the passenger window the whole time. im not sure if it was atx or mtx, or gt... but it was a brand new mustang.

but man, those things LOOK big and heavy, and they probably drive like it to, so im not surprised.

Plus red 2k, I saw your list of mods, it's not like you are stock . you're probably around 200 hp or so with everything you have done. You probably surprised him because he probably thought you just riced up your car(added body kit, exhaust, but no balls) I think it probably had to do with what you've doen to your car also

my mods? all I have done is the removed airbox restrictor. If you were looking at the mods on my page, those are my "Future Mods" hehe, like your the 5th person that has told me how tight my car must look/perform but then I tell them those are future mods and their like ah damn, lol. I think I need to make the heading a little bigger, :).

All I know is that I've tried to race two GTs in my ATX with a dual exhaust, intake, ram air setup, and cold air box and got my ass handed to me both times. But like tomXR said, we're not saying it didn't happen, it's just that there might be something that you don't know. Like that he wasn't flooring it, his car was a piece and wasn't perfoming like a regular GT would, he couldn't drive worth a damn, etc...

I dont doubt for a second that he could beat me from a dead stop, i dont doubt a v6 mustang could with all the extra weight i had, but i had momentum, and it was fun to say the least.
