I'm cruising along goin about 55mph and a black mustang gt speeds up from behind and rides along side me his he kept on giving me the look and nod forward.. I was thinking if I should go or not (pigs kinda got me scared lately 2 many close calls haha) but I said to myself what the heck so I downshift into 3'd and slam it he does the same I get a half of a car length ahead of him and keep on pulling then I throw it into 4th doin bout 80mph and I keep the same disstance until 90mph and then slowed down b/c the road starts to curve...then we both stopped at a light I look over and we both give a smile and said good race and then he asked what do u got running in that thing and I said just stock for now lol u should have seen his face and then he says stock huh wow not bad then he drives off.... and I sit there feeling pretty good about my baby

Mustangs are fast cars. I got a stock plan 2002 mustang, no gt no nothing, just a v6, up to like 110mph last night. I was in fith and the rpms were only at like 3k, and i was still gaining speed (it wasnt increasing very fast though). But still, that pretty good for a stock v6. I'm yet to drive a GT, but i can only imagin.

maybe he just had a whole bunch of s**t in the trunk of his car. plus him, maybe he was packing an extra 2-300 lbs in him and all his stuff. i got a bad habit of packrating s**t in my trunk. i need to clean it out.

it had an exhuast I kno that for sure...and come to think of it if he did have mods to it he would have beaten me if he had downshifted into 3'd but he prolly only had it in 4th Idk for sure tho..

"Mustangs" are not fast. There are fast Mustangs, but just because it is a Mustang doesn't make it a fast car. V6 Mustangs, are not fast car unless you put alot of money into them. And V6s top out at 114 I believe (maybe 117) because of a limiter in the chip. Without the limiter, they'd still only do about 125 or so though.

I kinda agree with GSR, not to fast, but still fun. Cobra's are quick, and I hope to see my bro's out there at our shootout, it has something like 445 hp at the wheels, but for some reason cant get it to run faster than a 12.8. His Nova was faster, but this is nicer. Even so its rather cool...
