Race Day!

I'm sure this was a "fair" race, but it sure surprised the Mustang. Just toolin' down I77 today coming back from my bi-weekly visit to the 'Burgh, and see this Mustang pulling out of a rest stop on my right. OK, I know, I usually just move over and let these guys on like they expect, but the Caddy needed cleaned out so I thought I'd have a little fun. This guy's givin' it all she's got..I can see him picking up speed on the on ramp while I'm rolling about 70. I pick it up a little till we're even, then nail it.....I'd say the rolling start was about 80 (just where the Northstar starts to shine!) and he never lets up. I pull away from him easily and leave him about 1/4 mile behind as I pass 110. The look on his face was something to see! Big chrome wheels, loud pipes, I think it said GT on the side........but I truly think I spoiled his day in a hurry!

Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed.

Probably a 5.0... I am sure the Cadillac commercial flashed through his mind, its not your father's Cadillac....

The insurance companies know the fast cars. When my '96 was new, I had to pay a NY surcharge based on HP vs. weight. it totaled $160.00 a year (performance surcharge). it disappeared a few years later when I moved to NJ. Anyony else pay this, or know about it? - If I was paying for a SS Deville, I'm sure the Seville/Eldorado must have paid it also.

The 5.0 Mustangs are quick down low, but they do lose breath as the speeds increase...especially a stock and maybe a little ragged-out engine.
