Default 5.0 vs GT

I was on my way to work 2 days ago going down the blvd. The streets were empty so I just took my time minding my own bussiness. Right when I was getting like 4 blocks out from house I see a NICE Ford GT coming from a small street ( a lot of retired people by were I live) and I was like DAAMN! He was going the same way I was going so I downshifted so he can hear my exhaust so he noticed me. We both catch a red light so I rolled down my window and so did he, he was problaly around his 50s maybe? I asked him to rev his engine and damn that thing is pure sex! The light turned green and he floored it and I thought to myself f-it im going for it too! so I freakin took off with him... we raced to like 70 and he already had 4 car lenghts on me.... we raced 3 more times and the same outcome[&o] oh well... thats 3 deaths so far since Ive had the car

If you could stay within 3 cars of a GT to 70 that's not too bad at all. Either you're pretty quick, or he was toying with you to some extent. Or a bit of both.

I have yet to even see a Ford GT around here. I go somewhere every weekend and have only seen one in a showroom.
