Default 2000 vs 2005

I own a 2000 Automatic v6 mustang with headers true duals with an Hpipe and a diablo predator tuner and CAI. I was coming home from classes yesterday and seen a 05 yellow mustang flying across the bridge, so being the mustang owner I am I go flying up behind him. At the red light at the top of the hill I pulled up next to him, we got along to talk about he just bought it the day before and loves it. he said its a 4.0L v6 with a 5 speed manual. Soon as the light turned he said lets run them. So he let me in front of him as i paced the traffic back. Up ahead was a 2 lane tunnel and we got a rolling start at about 20 MPH. Off we went I was amazed at how fast the 05 was stock, I ran mirror to mirror bumper to bumper couldnt loose him and he couldnt loose me. Suprised on how well i kept up with him BARELLY pulled on him towards the end of the tunnel was a hell of a race though. He then went to ask me If it was a gt lol i was like no just small mods and the guy was very suprised that it was an auto an ran the way it did. Was a good race that i been waiting on since I seen the 05 out on the streets. not bad race gotta give me credit for a 2000 with 55k on it not bad ah?

Good deal!

I saw a red 05 v6 on the way home from work last night and he was looking at my car like it was a piece... so at the next light i took off the line and left him in the dust. It wasn't a race so to speak, but he deserved to see the tails of my lil 00. haha.

im surprised that someone ran u in a 2005, because most 05 drivers around here are old, and women....mainly the 05 v6s around here are driven by old women for some reason, but i havent ran into one yet....id prolly lose yeah theyre pretty quick....one kid i know thinks they can beat a 04 cobra wit an 05 v6.... just cuz its a 2005......

Wait, so my 2005 V6 can't beat an 04 Cobra?

Well now I'm p*ssed! I mean 2005 is newer than 2004, it should be faster! I'm taking it back to the dealer!

hahahaha, of course I'm being sarcastic...

LOL...all the 2005 stangs i see on dulles toll road are driven either by women of some men who dont know how to drive a stang..driving on the third or fourth lane at 55 mph [:'(]
its like, when I zoom past them i feel like its all left upto us old stangs to keep up to the reputation.

I saw an 05 GT vert..he looked like a chicken tryin to cross a road [sm=smiley21.gif]

This "bang for the buck" thingy has screwed up everything related to the stangs.

hahaha! come to chantilly man, they're all over now driven by HS kids.


oh, and stupidtodd, that's exactly the attitude the kids around here who had mommy & daddy buy their 05s have. they think just because it's an 05, it'll be ANY previous generation mustang.
