OK, so I'm going home from a buddy's house(thanks Brent, the alternator works PERFECTLY!!). I'm really not looking to race anybody, but I see this new body style Mustang fly up on my butt at a traffic light. There is NOTHING in front of us for a few miles...so when the light goes green I take off a bit quicker than I normally would, but nothing too outlandish. Mr. Mustang stays behind, but then finds a hole in traffic and decides to go to the other lane and pass me...LOL. I can't have THAT!! When he does I notice it's a V6 car!! On top of this some old dude with a long grey beard is driving it! This is gonna be FUN!
So when he passes me I speed up a bit and he slows down a bit. I hear him drop it a gear(his tires chirped) so I struggle to to the same(3rd gear synchro is not doing well)..he jumps and gets 1/2 car(I'm still finding my gear LOL). I get my gear and GO(this is about 40mph)!! Well, this is not even close...I only got about 3/4 through 3rd and I was at his window..where I made sure to short shift to 4th so the BOV was in his ear(windows were down for both of us) and I proceed to pull away like a runaway freight train! I shut it down at about 95(MANY car lengths ahead) and he ricer fly-by's me!
Oh well...he got put in his place...don't bring a V6 Stang to a turbo fight!! LOL
To add a note, I had a similar race at the track..again a new V6 Stang and an old guy driving it. I put a hurting on that car...I kinda felt bad for the guy in the Stang...I don't know that he actually raced any more that night..
