Hey, Topspeed -
Thanks for your input. I don't think this stang was modified - I just think the driver was out of touch with reality. Lord knows what they tell the customer when they are selling these cars.
All's I know is, drugs are bad. Good Lord, if that thing was stock, then this guy was just lookin' to waste our valuable energy resources. As a matter of fact, you shoulda turned aroun', and done raced him in reverse. You'da still won.

I was definately not including the SVT (Cobra's), particularly the SC'd '03s. If it has a snake on the side instead of "GT" one has to be careful, although my Porsche (five-speed auto trans, 13.48 in the quarter) can actually take my neighbors '98 Cobra 5 speed by a couple of lengths to 100, so a stock C5 whould not have a problem with the earlier ones. But the 390 HP SC'd one, that is quite different. A C5 ZO6 can take one (at least if its stock) by a few lengths in the quarter (so could a standard C6, I'd think), but I'm not sure a standared C5 could beat one.
Those puppies are rather rare, at least up here, so not too big in the odds department of sittin' besides one of those at your favorite intersection. They are fast. Definately take our C4, no problem, but... *shrugs* you see 14 Mustangs at every intersection. Sure, the ones with the snake on the side are rare, but by and large, you can't swing a dead rat 'round here without hittin' a Mustang. Personally, I think the newer Cobra's are Fords futile attempt to challenge Chevrolet, and specifically the Corvette Z06.

First of all, congrats!!! As far as I'm concerned, YOU won!!! That's keepin' your head.
Ya know, he's thinkin' the same thing, who would have won. Since you didn't bite, his thoughts are leanin' towards "I lost".[&o] Stangs and Vettes, an ongoing battle, but you took this one hands down!!!

Well, thanks. I figure ignoring them is the best way to dis' them. I treat the 350 Z's the same way.

Around here it is the same "dead rat" situation. These stangs are everywhere. Some are nicer than others, but they can't compare to the class and style of a vette.
WE ARE WAY BETTER LOOKING!
