This past Friday I was coming home from a night out on the town. I pulled up to a stop light on the frontage road next to my house. Next to me pulls this guy with an 05+ Black GT. Now normally I'm opposed to street racing and get annoyed with every punk teenager with a car with a fart can thinking they need to try their luck against the mighty stangs......but it was like 3 o'clock in the morning and there wasn't any traffic on the road. So I was like "what the hell". The light turned green and we both took off full throttle. And to my surprise I took him from the jump. He started to close the gap a little but never actually pasted me. Now I have an 03 GT with the only power mods being a K&N air filter and a MRT Catted Hi-Flow H-Pipe. I mean I didn't think I had enough to contend with the 300 horses of the new stangs. So was this a fluke or something I can really be proud of? Oh by the way the guy lives in my neighborhood and I saw him yesterday and I couldn't help but grin uncontrollably on my way by

My guess is that the 05 was an automatic and you have a 5 speed.
His car is heavier with a full tank of gas and 2 golf bags in the trunk.
His pathetic skinny stock tires were spining and yours hooked on your
incredible launch....... nice kill.

Street racing is about so much more than just RWHP as this thread proves.

Try to avoid doing it the consequences can be very severe.

My dad has an '07 GT, and I beat him every time we race. I'll instantly pull a car or so on him during the launch, and keep walking away. They're not that fast...
