This happened a while ago but ai figured I'd post it up.
Me and BigJoe were leavin Taco Bell after some late afternoon cravings, and as we were in the left turn only lane to get back onto the highway, we were behind like this '66 Mustang with 2 ppl in it, including the driver. The passenger turned around and stared at me, and the driver revved it up a bit. It was definately a v8, but I figured if it was a 289 they have nothin to brag about. It had an exhaust and traction bars and stuff, but it couldn't have had too much work done to it... So anyway, I just pulled out behind em normal and went about my business, as they took off like maniacs in front of me. Then we came to a red light. I pulled up next to em and tried to get the driver's attention, just to give em a thumbs up and see if he would actually race and stuff, but he wouldn't look at me. The light turned green and neither of us launched. I just pulled out normal, and he pulled out extra slow. I was about a car length ahead of him, and I just stayed the speed I was goin, about halfway through first gear. Then I heard the Stang get on it, and saw the nose lift in my mirror, so I took off too. I had some shitty wheel spin going into second, and the stang was almost side by side with em, and I just slowly started pullin away, I consistantly pulled away until I was about 3 car length ahead of him, top of third gear, and I just got off the gas. They flew by, I gave em a thumbs up, passenger in the stang did the same, and a half mile down the road a cop was driving the other direction, lol, good timing. I'm glad it wasn't a really close race or we would have still been at it and would have probably gotten pulled. It was cool though, didn't think my car would pull it off.
cliff notes:
Lined up with an old school mustang. We punched it from about a 20 mph roll. I won by 3 car lengths at the top of third gear.
