I have never "really" raced anyone on the street before tonight, but I must say it was pretty fun.

A late 90's mustang lined up on me at a 2 lane stop light (turning left). I got the idea he wanted to race because he came up on me pretty fast while I was waiting at the red light...like he was trying to make it before I left. I got off the light before he did and hesitated a bit...wondering if he was going to race and not wanting to spin out in the turn. He luanched a split second after me and I heard his tires chirp...I knew it was on. I nailed it as much as I could in the middle of the turn, but he was in the inside lane and had about a car length on me. I realed him in by 2nd and was easily walking away by 3rd. I thought for sure that V8 was going to hold me at bay...not.

Can I register this as a kill with you veterans?

yep thats a kill. and yep late 90s mustang 4.6 gt's are that slow.

yah, but watch out for the '99 GTs and up (the one w/ the restyled body). That extra 40hp helps significantly, and makes them a real challenge. from a freeway roll-on, they're gonna be close, and from a stop, they're damn hard to beat.
