i had one of the most embarassing moments of my teenage life the other day. i was on my way home from school, and a kid taht always gives me crap for having a "v6 mustang" was ahead of me in his old late 80's or early 90's geo prizm, and he sped up, and i thought to myself "im not gonna let him loose me", so i sped up...and that kid lost me. how does that work that an old beat up economy car can beat a somewhat-newer "sports car"???, i cant make any sense of it, he claims its stock...

A V6 Mustang is not a sports car. It may be "sporty", but it's not powerful enough nor does it have the handling to call it a sports car. Don't feel bad losing a race or not being able to keep up with an old piece of junk. The important thing is if you like your car -- then it really shouldn't matter if other cars are faster.

If it was the Gsi, that would be kinda understandable. It has a 130 hp and only weighs about 2300 lbs. the base only has 101 hp.

Just carry a empty bottle of NOS in your trunck and tell him it was M T and besides you wouldnt waste it racing a POS like that cause you smoke GTs all day long. Hell just put a 100 shot of NOS on it N E ways HP 153 stock + 100 shot NOS = enough HP to make deeez Nutz tingle
