Default volkswagen gti vs. mustang gtr

i was driving along yesterday and i see a black mustang pulling out from a side road. it is sporting a GTR badge on the front grill replacing the pony enblem and a GTR badge on the front fender. it had a purple neon kit under the car, tiny "tuner style" rims
(prolly 15's), and a real loud exhaust.

i roll out from a light and i shift into 3rd around 25 mph. the mustang pulls up to me. the driver is a visor wearing teen. he looks over at me, laughs, and his car lurches forward a couple of times. i guess it was an auto and he was trying to run me. he looks over again and i smile.

he takes off. i leave it in 3rd, so he pulls a car or 2 on me as i wait for the turbo to spool. the phocker waives bye to me about the time i hit boost. PERFECT! i reel him in immediately and proceed to take several cars on him until i shut down at 65 or 70. he looked pretty dumbfounded.

of course, his GTR was a 6 cylinder, just like the venerable skyline GTR's that he copied his badge from.

it was a pretty lame run and barely worth mention, but as you all know, it is pretty fun to show a cocky guy a thing or two.

please no hypothical v8 stangs will smoke me, because 1) i am happy with the platform i have chosen, it serves me well, and i know its capabilities 2) it isn't really relevant this this post or "run"

thank you, have a nice day
