Default Torque Monster... not so much

Left work for some lunch, and I'm sitting at a red light--I'm the first car. Behind me, an Impala SS pulls up--not the new ones, one of the '94-'95 types that look like a Caprice. I could just hear a big, cammed V8 throbbing..blub..blub..blub..blub..
He revved it up a couple times behind me, and it sounded like hell on earth.. I was like.. great.. I'm dead.

To those that don't know new Mustangs, they might think from behind that I'm a GT, since I have duals.. at any rate, he wanted to run me.

Light goes green, I floor it, and it was as if our two cars had magnets in the bumpers because he was glued to me. As soon as we cleared traffic.. he whipped into the right lane, and passed me like I was standing still. And as he passed, I noticed his license plate which said: "383STRK" 383 stroker..

Now who's the guy that said the 4.0 was a torque monster again?

Don't feel bad man, there are many 94-96 Impalas out there that are running 12s.
