Default very rare race/death

just to be quick.

was going to work about 30-40min ago, and saw something that looked like a Ferrari up ahead, i speed up a little, to see "FORD GT" on the side!

ive never seen one on the road, all i know is that they are basically ford way of saying "we can do this sh*t too!"


i dident know the hp rating, or weight untill right now, but i still wasent trying to "race" the guy.

(btw, they have a 3400lb curbweight, and a 550hp and 500ftlb rating)


i guess he gets messed with alot on the street, because i was prob going 5-8mph faster then him, and as soon as i got to about the back of his car, he floored it, and jumped out about 3-4car lengths in front of me in about 1-2seconds.... i dident even have time to react.


He let off, and i floored it beside him. looked at him to see who was driving it, witch was this pretty fat itallian looking guy.

at that time we where going up hill, him in the left lane, me in the right, at the top of the hill, i have to get on the highway, so i stomp it again, and so does he.

it was like i stomped on the brakes as hard as i could instead of the gas.......... and he wasent in his upper rev range.......







not really a race, but ive never even seen one of these on the road, let alone seen one take off on me.


guess he was impressed with my car, and had to put me in my place![8D] .......................... yea............... not[>:]

lol, that way pretty much the case!


"racing" a car thats prob 100-200lbs more then yours, and DOUBLE the power, isent going to end in any kind of good results for me, even if the guy cant drive worth ass.

it wasent much of a race, but i just felt like posting because of how rare that is.



btw it was white, with blue race stripes, very sexy

There used to be one I'd run into now and again on 17 out near Gloucester in VA, thing was black with red stripes and the guy had friggin twin Garret GT60's on it.. LMAO.. Guy is part owner of the American Tobacco Co. LOL He was actually very cool, and even said he like the Mach. He's 46 and has been retired for 6yrs living off of investments. He brings in 3.8mil a year in dividend payments alone. LOL He said the car cost him 240k, and the mods he had done cost another 65k. Oh, and I forgot the $1,300 a month he pays in insurance on the thing through Lloyds of London.. LMAO..

Nice. There is a yellow/black striped GT that goes to Lethal Performance quite a bit. Big ol' TT setup ran in the Texas Mile something like 208mph. Absolutely insane cars
