Mr. Acura TL
On my way home from a long days work. Pulling away from a stop light just getting into 3rd gear, and Im granny shifting. Acura TL pulls next to me and is matching my speed so... I nail it and he attempts to keep up and fails.
Mile down the road, I figured I was done and we pull to a stop light. I get a call from my mom whose asking me something. He sits and I look over while on the phone and he revs his engine. I ignore it then im like, sure ok. And I rev mine which makes his car sound like a dirt bike and my mom ask whats all the noise coming from, lol. It was enough to make me laugh and he turns his head away and grips his steering wheel. Light turns green, and Im still on my phone, and I gun it. Needless to say that was the last i saw him. All he saw was my two GTA pipes screaming.
And as I calm the car down not even 50ft away two cops on the side of the road talking to a bum. Close... call. Street racing around my area is a SERIOUS offense. Car taken away to even jail time.
My first real encounter with this car. And most likely my last. But I wont lie. It was fun.

I had an 04 zero to 60 is around 6 seconds. I liked that car I was getting 23 mpg's beating it back and fourth to work. On a trip going 85 to 95 mph I got 29mpg. I'm getting almost 20 to work and back in the stang. Its more fun for sure. I know no one cares about this but I didn't have any thing else to do right now

JonCo,
I just got back from vacation down in Bradenton. My in-laws have a condo just off Cortez and 51st. I couldn't believe how many Mustangs I saw down there. The Gulf water temp was perfect. Man, that TL loaner I had down there was slow.....j/k.
P.S. Great color choice.

I am not sure everyone wants to race...thay may be like me and just love the sound of V8 on power 
And, I just read there is a city in California that is taking cars and crushing them for street racing. They had a photo of four cars that had just been sent thru the crusher.
