Default the new shelby's ain't as quick as I thought they were

yes I know street/strip sect. but I don't know anybody over there
I was coming home from work a few min. ago and I see something coming up in my rear view pretty quick and when it gets up to me I see the shelby on the hood.We're on about a half mile stretch and I let him get to my door before I floor it(I was in 3rd) and he floor's it
I thought I was getting him for a sec. until I saw the back of his door at my front bumper and then I throw it into 4th and I start to creep a little,that is until he shifts and he starts pulling on me again but not as bad as I thought he would but I then hit the brakes and flash my lights to let him know I slowed. A few minutes later we get another straightaway and I'm behind this time I hit 3rd and by the time I'm at his door I'm running about 75( started at 60) he floors it and it's pretty much neck and neck until he shifts again and he jumps about half a car and then just keeps pulling till he gets out of it all in all it was pretty fun I just thought he would have gotten me a whole lot easier than he did especially with the little there is done to the 91 and by the way the shelby sounded stock I never got to talk to him because he wouldn't slow down lol

Yea dude if it was a gt500 you would have stood no chance. My co workers neighbor has one and he stomped my *** with my old build. A newer gt I ran neck and neck with on the street until 3rd gear. And then he pulled me on my old build.

Had to have been a Shelby GT. A GT500 would have left you like you were chained to a tree.
