First of all, I can't believe my rx-7 can take this guy out. I mean, damn, aint the new mustangs supposed to be pretty fast and at least much faster than a 99-05 Mustang GT. I already beat that year, but I didnt think I would beat an 06. By the way I was getting 11 psi in 4th gear instead of the usual 10. Anyways, I was going home from work and say a mustang with a GT emblem fly by me and smile at me and he took off at about 100mph with a passenger(heard its attempted manslaughter), just cruisin through traffic. I catch up due to traffic. I follow him through traffic and we get to a open road with three lanes but Im still behind him. He looks in his side mirror seeing im behind him at 85mph, and guns it first and I follow with WOT. His engine is screaming out loud with his oval mufflers. He gets about 3-4 cars until I start pulling and managed to reach his back rim as I switch lanes by the time I hit 140mph. I actually looked at my gauge and saw 140mph and I immediately stopped and he just keeps going. I stopped because I got a little araid because the most I ever hit was 130 in my 91 NA with very good tires with at least 90% tread, and my 90 TII front tires is pretty worn out and doesnt have that much tread, but my rears do have almost new tires. but the fact that I had worn out front tires and it hit 140mph so damn easily scarred me a lil. I gave the guy a thumbs up and see his hand doing a piece sign. I am a bit surprised that I came up on him. It was sorta a dissapointment, because i thought it would be faster, actually it seemed only slightly faster than the previous generation GT. I'm not sure if it was stick shift, but I saw the rear move down as soon as he had it at WOT. I know it depends on driver, but is it really that hard to throw it down one gear and floor the gas pedal? its not like we did it from a light. well, has anyone else raced one? opinions and comments please but please no flaming.

 

after reading this over, i realized its not much of a kill, but more of a chase. but it shows I would of killed it if we lined up side by side and went on 3 honks.

 

Good kill and I believe it because I raced one b4 my motor blew and barely got beat by him, he was pulling slightly away from me but then I had a boost problem. I was only hitting like 4-6psi at the most so I wasn't upset... I almost beat him. It was a freeway pull also and he started b4 me.

 

hey whats up man, nice pull. have you gotten your cat back yet?

 

Yeah, they're only slightly faster than the previous gen.

 

300 HP isn't worth much when you weigh 4,000 billion pounds.

 

Nice kill yo.

 

turbo 's are legendary man crazy **** ..... im rollin N/a right now .... i hope when i get to tii later on ... ill love hitting 140 mph

 

You'll love it man. I was surprised how fast it got to 140mph and it was still pulling hard. I would of kept going til I past him if I had some better tires.

Nah, Im saving up for the Mazdaspeed Catback, but if I can find something for cheap, I might get that for now. Its running way better than it did, when I took you for a spin. How's your car running?



thanks.
