I tried to pass a cobalt ss tonight and it took off and i tried to keep up until i realized i was at 110 so i slowed down. but this car was way faster than me and this has happened before. last time it was a neon srt. i thought my car was fast but i guess its no match for neons and cavaliers.

Both of them are running power adders. So with just a few mods to either of them, a stock Mustang is no match for them. Get some lower gears, cai, and intake and you'll give them a run for their money, unless they're heavily modified. That said, most of their power is in the upper end, so you need to race from a dig, not a roll. And not to be daddy here, but it has to be said that you should be doing this on a track.
