Default Mystery Stang

Thought I would post this race for all you New Edge guys. My wife and I were coming into Raleigh tonight on I-40. I passed a New Edge Stang, he was a white convertible with yellow racing stripes. Not loud, not slammed out, nothing. I had to do a double take just to make sure it was a GT, since it was debadged. I slowed down to get a better look and noticed the driver was in his 50s or so. I told my wife you had to watch these older guys in their muscle cars. They are usually retired, have money, and lots of time on their hands. I got beside him (I'm driving my Mach btw-mods below) and reved a little to see if he would bite. He didn't do anything, so I slammed mine into 3rd from 70mph and left him by 4-5 cars. I gave him zero warning what-so-ever, so it was totally in my favor....so I thought! This guy runs me down and blows my doors off! I had a gut feeling that he had something under the hood, but good God. I didn't hear supercharger whine, but then again I have off-road pipes so maybe that's why. What do you guys think? I seriously doubt he sprayed it on the Highway like that, and if he did, it would have to be some insane shot.Whatwould he need to be behind 4-5 cars,catchup to me, and pass me in less than a quarter mile? Opinions plz.

You wouldnt hear jack **** if you were wide open with a full exhaust with no cats supercharger or not. That's about the only thing that would do that unless he was crazy enough to spray a 100+ shot on a highway lol, but then again stranger things have happened.

I'm not saying a supercharger wouldn't do it, but I doubt just a charger and bolt-ons would do what he did. I mean, I never let off and he passed me like I was slamming on brakes. I'm thinking he had a built motor with F/I. A friend of mine has a 2000 GT putting down 650rwhp, he has pulled me on the interstate like that.
