I just ran a RT/10 viper truck from 75 to the top of my 4th gear (aroud 105). He INCHED about 5 feet or so on me, if that. VERY CLOSE RACE!!!

It was a regular cab.

We then pulled onto a side road and he did a LOW roll, but when I went to first gear to pull up next to him and run it, he heard me and floored it while still 1 truck ahead of me. I refuse to go over 50 on that road (not good for playing AT ALL) so I just put her in 3rd and went on. He then did a U-turn (thought he was going into a parking lot) and I turned into the lot and thats the last I saw of him.

GOOD RUNS!!!

WTF!??! how am I doing this with 244whp?!

Those trucks are overrated. Don't put much thought into it.

13.3@105+ over-rated?

So where's the part where you diss on Ford for not being able to beat it? I'm confused...

You were street racing from 75mph up. Who's to say he wouldn't have put 4 greyhound bus lengths on you before you ever saw 4th gear.

When he gunned it from a 20 roll even though I was not racing (he jumped BIG TIME!) I was unimpressed. I do not think he would have done so.

Oh pfft, I dislike my car, but I give credit where it is due. I just dont know WHAT THE HELL made it possible for me to hang w/him. PS, I like ford over dodge.

Why do you dislike your car?

It is a mustang almost as old as I am. It has turned to ****.

The steering column smokes when the AC is on high, the fog lamp switch sometimes kills the headlights and ALWAYS overheats (replaced already) the AC keeps going out (switch, replaced already), the water pump dies every 20K miles, it rattles 100X worse than my 95 F-body with as many miles and the 5.0 even has subframes, the brights turn off the headlights when flicked on, the motor running interferes with the sterio, it handles POORLY, man, I really could go on. It is also a piece of **** motor according to everyone on this board even though nothing is wrong with it they are convinced that my crate motor is somehow defective. Compression is great, on and on and on, but oh no...it should have WAY more than 244whp, lol. whatever they think I guess.

some cars are cursed man. Mybrake pedal, or i should say the break pedal is on the floor after paying 450 dollars at two different shops to get it fixed, the stang always broke down when i needed it most, it embarassed me in front of my date when i got beat by her spoiled exx's trailblazer ss, my fog switch did that too man ****in strobes lights flickerin and **** outta know where while im racing this kid tell me that sh*t aint embarrasing. then i hit a parked car after the bbk throttle body stuck because the flap got snagged, poor bbk construction, now it has an lx front bumper and a blue hoood, i blew a brake line, borrowd my friends, blead all 4 brakes, 57 miles from home and about 20 miles away my trans went and just slips. But hey at least the brakes i just fixed still worked! The list goes on and on man i know how it is. Best bet is take it off the road for a long time until everything is working right and the way you want. Thats what i ended up doing, the mustang was becoming a disgrace.
