Raced a mustang GT

I was at a red light when a 2003-2004 Mustang Gt pulls up, he had a exhaust and a logo of a tunning shop on his car he, he was a teenager and he looked at me and smiled, so i deiced to race him. I launched the car, and was completely even with him until 3rd gear when he maybe gained less then a 1/4 length. Just wanted to share.

i was impressed that i was neck and neck with him.

pre 05' Mustang GTs aren't as fast as people think they are. So what if they have big v8 engines and sound like they all have straight pipes on.

The newer GTs are pretty fast though but still suck overall. We had one as a rental car for a week,nothing special. Darn thing feel like my Mom's Sonota handling wise,it's like trying to turn a boat.

Blkboxster, I was reading the MustangGT board this morning, and he said that he kicked your a$$! He said you were sooooo nervous at the line, you stalled it in 1st!

I agree. Ive beaten Mustang GT's because they arnt that fast, these were the older body style ones, 90's-2000's.

Just watch out for the cobras and the supercharged ones. :P

I'll admit that the new Mustangs look really cool. The Gt's have a big engine, that goes fast in a straight line, but the suspension in them suck. I test drove one and they drive like boats.
Next time try racing a Mustang on a track, and not in a straight line, and it will be an easy win.
