took a GT owner for a drive.

A bud of mine has a '99 T/A that has a best ET to date of 12.99 - my svo can't beat that yet.

I would always get just the "well he has a 4 banger, no need to race him" talk, then on the way to the strip with my local club I ran my buddies 95 GT with exhaust and what not from about 50-80mph, and stayed pretty close with him, the next thing he said to me when he and i got out was that he needed to have a ride in the svo. So I gave him a straight line demo, and a turn demo.

I was at a friends house and was telling a guy there about my car. He's had a 90 GT and a 95 GT before and was asking if mine was a GT. I told him it was a 4 cly turbo and he looked at me like ohh I'm sorry that sucks why dont you have a GT.
