Default 3v GT/CS Kill... Funny story too

So me and my buddies were planning on cruising around tonight, but a bunch bailed so it was just me that still wanted to take advantage of the nice day we had today. Well basically me and 3 other buddies jumped in my car in hopes of finding some cars to play with. I live off of M-59, in SE MI for anyone who knows and I could hear cars ripping on it all night. After 15 mins of cruising and no signs of anything we were about to call it a night until I saw those 4 round headlights coming from behind. Soon enough a 3v Mustang GT/CS owner is pacing me. He downshifts and I follow but he didn't have a clue of what 3 honks meant. Finally we catch a light and no traffic is around. Convo goes like this...

Me: Want to run em'???
GT: Sure lets go at the light!
Me: I sure hope you beat me since I have a full car....
GT: Don't worry.... I GUARANTEE IT!!!
Me: Well see...


The light turns green and by 2nd gear i had 1.5 cars and by 3 it was just bad. Of course as soon as he caught up he wanted to go from a roll. 30 mph it was and a bus length raping followed. My friends and I, (which own an 03cobra, vortech99gt, and 383z28) are just laughing our *** off at this guy because of the "I GUARANTEE IT!!!" remark. He rolls down his window and asks if I want to pull over and chat I said sure not knowing what to expect after he saw all of us laughing. He claims to have had his TC on and he couldn't even press down the gas??? I say even if it's true it won't make up for the raping he just experienced. He argues and I say I will run him again but he says no thanks. He says see ya around...and took off. Probably the funniest race of my life.

Maybe I missed something. Let me first say we all know anyone that "guarantees" a race without knowing what the other guy has is a complete tool. That being said your sig says your car went 12.99. Now you load that 12.99 car with 3 passengers (minimum 500 lbs) and you put a "buslength" on a mid 13 second car? Either the fact that the guy was a tool continued into his driving ability, or I might have to throw the flag on this one.

The 12.99 is a bad representation of what the car can do. That time was the only run I got in at all that day after I put on the bolt ons and it wasn't the best weather. Now with some suspensions mods and a more free flowing exhaust it makes up the difference. plus when racing my friends 99 vortech gt approx. 12.3 @113 he only pulls me up top around 75. I would say its more like a 12.6-7 car as it stands today. And both of my mustang friends which will vouch on either mustangforums or svtp, wish they had it on camera. That gt/cs edition stock is like a high 13sec. car.

lol I wouldn't go that far. CAI and exhaust and they are a whole new animal. I think this race was a combination of his shitty launch and lack of power to keep up.

I have raced a 3v with x pipe and exhaust back, cai, and 3.73 gear. I had an extra passenger but from a dig he out launched me and had me by a fender till 50mph. After that I started pullin pretty good.

Nice kill. Guy probably didn't know how to drive his car and with the TC on, that would hurt him, as well. I always think it's funny when I spin my wheels just cruising around with the traction control on and as soon as they start spinning, the pedal kicks back against my foot. Strange feeling.

I hate when people say stupid **** like this. You went out looking for a racing with a car full of people and then you are going to use it as an excuse? Reminds me of this time a guy in a Mustang GT said the same thing. He tried to race me then said "Man I got a car full of people!". I told him "Pull over and let them get in the car with me and then we will race." He didn't and his stupid friends were yelling about putting money down on this race and I proceeded to put 3 or 4 miles between us by the time I ran 4th out.

Not to mention if you got in a wreck while racing and killed one of them in your car you would be fucked.

I have seen stock M5 3v's go 13.5 here all day long. I'm not doubting he couldn't drive worth a ****, and I'm not trying to take anything away from your kill, Just saying it had to be a driver mod problem in the stang.
