Default Raced a taxi!

If you've been around any military installation about 90% of the cab drivers drive the old crown vic police interceptor cars. I was at a light and this cab driver asked me to run against him. He said that he had a newly tuned Police interceptor and that he wanted to see what it would do against a Mustang. Light turned green and we took off. He hung with me for a sec but after a guesstimated 1/4 mile I had about 4 cars on him.

I would of expected you to pull on him from the start, if I'm thinking correctly atleast. Those Crown Vics weight quite a bit more and just aren't set up for performance as much as a stang even though they have the same motors. good kill either way, not many poeple can say they raced a taxi ha
