Actually just got home from this and figured I should share. About 30min ago I was heading home from hanging out with some friends after work. Well, at a light I saw a black stang with silver stripes gun it down the road in front of me. I was at the light so I couldn't do anything yet. After the light I gunned it, hopped on the highway and saw him on the service road next to me. He gunned it, (very nice exhaust) and jumped on the next ramp to catch up to me. We were doing about 75-80, I dropped it to 3rd after hearing him rev and we both took off. I noticed we we're actually pretty close. I hoped I might pull ahead but the only pull I got was the intial pull and he kept it right there next to me all the way to 120ish. After that we kind of tried a run again but neither of us could really time our launch? to match the others so we kind of just said whatever. I reached out the window and threw the peace sign to him as I pulled off to my exit.

I think he had the faster car, something about how he took off the second time we tried to run. Maybe a small gain from the exhaust. If you read this bud, nice to meet you,lol. My mods are listed below, excluding the FRPP springs and Lakewood Panhard Bar Set, that are new.

Nice runs man, hopefully the owner is on here and can chime in with his mods.
