I wasnt drinking, I have no Idea about the other driver..

2000 SSEi Auto vs 2010 Mustang GT 5 speed

How it started.. I dropped off a friend ( cuz Im sober cab //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ) and I have this new stang GT messing with me the whole way out to the country .. WEll I guess we live the same direction, and heres when I finally got a chance to go after him, and I think its pretty obvious he was looking for a race

So when I finally caught up to him I pulled in front of him, and tapped my brakes.. He pulled up along side me , passed me, and I punched it.. But I hammered on it at the wrong speed.. In order for me to get a jump and a 2 gear downshift, it either has to be at 30 or 50, and I was @ 40, he punched it when his front bumper was at my front door ... Not making excuses, but I would have had him til 130-140 or so.. I took him in this one til 110, then his motor took over ..

I forgot to turn off my **** phone , so you cant see the 2nd race, but you can hear it.. ANother 40 MPH roll from him which did me nothing, so I let him go... otherwise , not to bad for a heavy *** grandpa car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
Sorry to say it, but if he had any kind of idea of what he was doing, there is no way in hell that you could keep up with a 2010 GT in any kind of drag race, be it from 30-130, 50-130, off the line, whatever.If you were keeping up in any way, it's because he was teasing you. If it was a v6 OTOH, you would do a better job of keeping up.

 
And one other thing.....

Your Bonneville will NOT do 140mph. Stock or even slightly moded.

And at 47 sec in your last vid when he was way in front of you, you were only going a tad over 100.....not 110....

And by the way, he passed you like you were standing still.

And for the record....you had your window open as we could hear the air blowing by....I did not hear anything from the Mustang.

It was likely a v6.

Any who, unless you have moded the stock ECU, your speed governor is set at 128mph

 
OK,

a.) thank you for using your turn signal.

b.) as already stated (and my father-in-law had a Bonneville SSEi, so I know it feels strong and can roast the tires), you did not stand a chance against a new GT (unless I was driving, since you said it was a 5-speed, and my left leg in a cast).

c.) Your speedometer goes to 140. I have never been in a modern car that could bury the stock speedometer. Sure, those older cars with 85MPH speedo's, yes, but not anything like the vehicle you are talking about. So your claim of having him until the top speed registered is a bit stretched. Add in the fact that GM has it limited in the computer to 128, and it confirms the fact that it is implausible. 128 in a large car is still fast. And dangerous at night where DEER can come across and KILL you.

d.) After that left, you were full on it. You climbed to 90 pretty nicely, but by the time you hit 90, his taillights were all but a distant memory. So if you beat him or were keeping up in non-video'ed portions, then, as was again already said, he was playing you. Ever watch "Pinks?"

You: 240HP and 280 lb-ft.

Him: 325HP and 315 lb-ft.

Again, he played you or he cannot hold the pedal to the floor.

 
Lol. Geez. I'm getting critiqued here. First off my PCM reflash cuts the governor amongst many other things. Stock ssei is 6 psi. I'm running 11 on 110 with headers, 3.2 pulley shift kit and intake. I'm 250 at the wheel.

Lol and yes. It was a gt. I dunno how there is any confusion on that one. There were badges all over the thing. It was NOT the new 5.0. It was the 4.6 or whatever they use

I'm not trying to brag guys. It was just a little late night fun

And yes out in the country here there are deer like you wouldn't believe. But I have insurance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Ohhh. And a little clarification. Yes. I did stop at 120 and rolled back quick to 110. I rapped the brakes as soon as his rear bumper was at my front. That may be why he looked like he was pulling so hard. I flashed him twice but he still kept going

When you say 110...are you referring to 110 octane gas??

Leaded gas in a fuel injected, non purpose built, stock car?? Hope its unleaded or your o2 sensors are going to hate you.
