Default V6 vs. GT500

So sat. evening Im driving along on one of the 4 lane highways in San Antonio when to my right I spot another stang looking to be another 07. First thing I do is check the exhaust because I was too far to see if it had the GT tags, turns out it was another six. I pull up beside him and give him a wave and he returns the gesture with a smile. We roll down our windows and agree to have a friendly competition. Well the horns honk and we take off (as fast as our stocks can go) and it was pretty fun. We stayed just about even but since Ive added very small mods to mine I was a tad in the lead. Well we were doing about 120 staying with eachother when all of a sudden to our left comes a black GT500 that completely pwns my ***. He gets a ways down there and slows down so we can catch up. I roll down my window and ask "was that really necessary" and the guy just laughs. I glance at my buddy in the other six and he looks like "way to over kill us pal". All in all was a good night, had to take the exit ramp soon after that so I couldnt keep rolling with them. If I wasnt already late for my anniversary with my girl Id probably had kept with them but I dont think she would be too happy to know I stood her up for a chance to ride with two other stangs.

Good choice

Actually I think it's 115. Because the driveshaft is rated to only 115 on a V6. Anything over 115 on a V6 without an aftermarket driveshaft is asking for lots of pain.

Totally uncalled for, there is nothing to prove, except that that guy was an idiot (and he did a good job of proving that fact)...

As my wife would say, "probably has a small dic*"...
