Default Got killed again

I finally got my car back and was kinda accelerating fast from lights. well I didnt realize there was a GT next to me. He thought I was racing him, so he got on it. So did I. He got me by like 2 cars before we got to traffic.

You drive a 6 right?

I can live with 2 car lengths! Normally I get beat worse than that because all of the GTs I try to race turn out to be heavily modded. I only beat one GT, but that's only because it was all stock and VERY poorly maintained.

I know a guy who used to have a v6 automatic that would beat a 99-04 GT. It can be done.

I only have intake and exhaust. If I saw him before I took off, I woulda seen the death coming. On a sidenote we were even till 15mph
