Default 5.7 GTO ran away

so i was on the thru-way on my way to work this afternoon when i come up upon a 5.7 red gto, i smile and think to myself, mmh fun. I pull up next to him and he's about in his 40's. Hes kinda smiling and i downshift to 4th goin about 70. He wont look over at me and im right dead even with him. -- He takes off, and im just kinda sittin there because that wasnt a fair start, i speed up to him and downshift into third, hes really smiling now, kinda giggle-ing. I beep three times slowly and take off after the third one. -- I look over and he didnt even move this time. My exit is comin up so im gettin pissed because i wanna race, so i slow down even to him and keep it in third, he takes off and this time i didnt care and was ready; Right away i put a car and a half on him and he shuts down, he gets into the exit only lane and is about 10 cars back. I get into the exit only lane because it was also my exit. This lane is really long, about half a mile, and as soon as I get to the point where it starts to turn so i cant get back on the thru-way, he pulls a ricer move and gets back on.

i was pissed. I wanna race one.....real bad

5.7 GTO's should be a fairly easy kill while the 6.0's are a closer race, moreso a drivers race.

If it didn't, something would've been wrong. That was a nice death.

I thought The GTO's were rated at 400 hp?

Yeah but I have the fat pig of the mustangs too lol. I have the leather full power seats with the shaker 1000. I am doing the best to keep it light. I even replaced the shaker1000 bolts with some ez-off bolts to take off when I go to the track.
