Default Shelby vs 5.0 and SL500

Fun weekend trip, ran into a couple of playful people, and yes I was a baker too.....rolls I couldn't get either of these guys to slow down, so it was short sprints from 75ish to 120 or 30


5.0 I guess wanted to see what he was made of because I heard him downshift and hit it after pacing me for a moment. Of course he got the initial jump and after that it was a steady pull even and then steady walk away.


SL500 was older and he must have been modded because it wasn't bus lengths like I expected....actually he ran almost as well as the 5.0....both guys just pulled up next to me, paced me for a second or two and nailed it without honking. Sheesh, doesn't anybody know the rules of bakery racing?

Well it would still be a long, exhilarating race for them because it would take 20 seconds to hit the century mark.

Nice runs old *****.
