So today during lunch I swung by a local dealer to drop something off, and ran into a ricey Mustang on the expressway. It was one of the rounder ones that came out in like 95 or 96 I believe. It sounded like absolute shit, and I spotted no exhaust tips in the back. It wasn't THAT loud so I don't think he had a dump pipe or anything, but it was just this raspy shitty exhaust note.
Since we had a decent stretch of open highway and this guy wouldn't give up with the revving and fly by's, I decided to give it a shot. We more or less started at ~60mph with me in 3rd, and from the get go I was pulling away slowly, not as quickly as I thought I should have been pulling away from a riced out V6. We went through 4th, and by the time he let off around 100mph, I had about half a car. It wasn't total devastation like I thought.
Distinguishing marks were a "5.0" badge on the front quarter panels, and some sort of gauge on the A-pillar, and altezzas. He had one passenger and I was alone. I couldn't tell what wheels they were but most likely they weren't the stock ones. So what did I race? V6 with a bunch of power mods? V8 with a shitty driver?
