Default finally....

I read of all the challanges against the mustangs..well i have owned my 05 GT for 7 months and no action. My boss ordered a dodge charger srt8 (425hp) and he finally drove it to work last week. After work i made sure i followed him out ...after hitting the interstate i could not get open road to mess with him and was just about to give up when the road opened up for a lil test. I thought he would surely blow me away....I pulled beside him at aprx 70 mph and looked at him..when he heard me shift down to 3rd i could hear his engine.I run my car in 3rd up to 102 and shifted to 4th , by this time we were pulling up fast on traffic.......dead even....i call this a victory...

no mods...none at all just the factory Gt with 5 speed manual trans...i am sure if we could run a lil farther he would have pulled me and just kept goin. That being said i beleive from start to 100 its anybodys race. His has automatic trans and i have rode it it while he gut ripped it. His car is deceiving because it is fairly quite, unlike the mustang when you romp it.

That is odd, he should have won. I think they run low 13s at like 106 stock. The stock GTs run mid 13s at 100-103.
