beat a 5.0 but barely
 
Well I came to a stop at a red light. there is a early 90's 5.0 stang in the lane next to me. The two lanes merged into one lane about 1/4 mile up so I figure I'll take off a little fast and get in front of him. no big deal. well the light turns green and the guy took off like a bat out of hell. No rev. warning or anything.(surprise attack) so of course I floor it. Well he got allmost a car jump on me. we where dead even first and second, until i grab third. I finally catch him in third and then grab fourth. the lanes are starting to merge but I was determined. I pulled him by about a car and a half before I got in front of him. It was a fun race. his 5.0 definately didn't sound stock. I wanted to talk to him but he turned before I could ask. Man winning is so much more fun than loosing. i remember when I used to race the rice just feel better http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif
