Encounter with Stang today
Funny... I was going out to test my car on the 60-90 test since replacing knock sensors (3 years with ECL ON
). As I was about to pull up on fwy on ramp, a later model Stang GT (05 and up) pulls in front of me. He had a LIC plate frame with the words "WHEN THE FLAG DROPS THE BULLSHI# STOPS"
. Car had a MEAN GROWL too. SOOOOO...we enter the curving off ramp and I'm just 25YDS behind him. He punched it just as the curve straightened out and so did I (I was in 3rd at around 50). At first I stayed even...then just as I was about to exit (I had to take an early exit which was only about 1/8 mi from the first entrance), I started to pull on him ever so slightly. Never got a chance to do my *test* though due to heavy traffic.
Anyway, here are the stats for that car..STOCK..it was the V8 of course...
