This happened right as I got off from class for the day today. I was coming pulling out of my campus...there's this long stretch of road where you can pretty much see everything for at least a mile around...so no cops can get you. Anyways...I see this Red Mustang GT convertible coming up behind me, I was doing 45, just cruising, he was prob. going 60.
We eventually come to a stop sign. I arrived first and he was like 1/2 a car behind, so I waited slightly longer. I looked over and its this black guy smiling back at me
He had his window down and was saying "ay man, you wanna run?" in a cheerful attitude. I was like "eh, sure why not (looks around for popo)" We basically just gunned it right after I said yea...so I shift it all the way to 1st and then proceed to manually shift right before redline....somewhere at 75-7600 RPMs. I immediately get the jump on him, i think he must've been auto as well b/c he didn't launch it or anything, same as me....we both just gassed it.
I get to the top of 1st and i'm ahead by 2 cars. I shift, I stay in VTEC
so its quicker than it normally is if I were to leave it in D4 mode. I kinda chirp the tires and my speedo goes from like 40-50 when it shifts and then back down to like 45. I'm still ahead. I get to the top of second at like 70-75mph, and I'm in front by one. I end it at 80 and he still keeps going. haha I couldn't b/c there were RR tracks about 200 ft. ahead so I immediately slow to like 45 so I won't fuck up any of my wheels/tires or suspension by bottoming out. He kinda launches off the tracks and THEN he slows lol. But I guess he was on stock suspension so it was plush for him.
End Result: I beat him by 1 car at 80mph. I feel kinda happy about this kill. Are those GT's quick by any means? I felt we were evenly matched but I stayed in front the entire time. It was a fun rush....just getting out of a boring history of engineering class....I needed something to wake me up lol

nice kill tho.
...still, not as impressive as GM V8s, but respectable when you consider how many bottlenecks they come with from factory
Oil leak?What oil leak? That's just sweat from all that horsepower!
