I said nothing and simply took my sunglasses off and proceeded to open my glove compartment to put them in...
Long story short: That was a fast truck! The minute I reached down he floored it outta there!
I couldn't catch him if I tried.

I played a little with an SRT8 Charger yesterday (6.1) ... it had modded exhaust and not sure what else, I only have the GT500 mufflers and no other drivetrain/exhaust mods, but I easily kept up with him after he floored it, and I'm pretty sure I was actually catching him, but these were short bursts of acceleration, him in front, on 1-lane roads ... we gave each other thumbs up and turned in different directions ... fun over lol

Had a 60 year old white trash idiot try to race me at three different stop lights this morning. He was in a 20 ish year old civic si. The only modifications i could detect on his car appeared to have been done in low speed impacts... would have been close of I had gone for it..

I could care less if someone attempted to bait me into a dual on the streets. I know what I have under the hood, and I know I have a monster sized manhood so there's no need for me to bust out the ego.

Just had some wet behind the ears teenager trying me in his red Acura integra w/ Honda emblems. I ignored him and the dude still almost killed himself accelerating from 0 to 40 mph....

I read pretty much every auto rag available, and I've never seen a stock ISF make those kinds of numbers. They're usually around 4.6 to 60 and 13 sec quarter--certainly not slow, but definitely not faster than a stock 5.0 unless it's something like a high geared and heavy 3.31 vert.

I had a SRT300C cut me off and then when we took off from the light he floored it. I let him go a little then reeled him in and waved. At the next light he kept going, much slower this time and I turned left.

Oh, yeah. I've been in the Army for 16 years and it amazes me how many Soldiers speed on post. When I was in VA, I had a soldier tried to race his Mustang against mine and the speed limit was only 25mph. I will say the Mustang seems to attract some idiots that either don't care or seem to have no understanding of what the 5.0 is capable of.

i get guys in dodges and silverado's pulling up beside me at a light or on the highway while im in my fx4/ecoboost. i don't race them though, but instead drive smarter throughout the traffic and end up in front of them anyway. it's too dangerous racing on public roads. I do get alot of challenges while on my ducati or aprilia, but more often it's someone driving beside me and staring at my bike. makes me a bit nervous, but proud too. Being in hickville alberta i'm sure i'll get the odd challenge when the stang arrives. I won't be baited though. we have helicopters here too and on the prairies, there's nowhere to hide. not to mention they can impound vehicles for doing more than 40 over.

I have noticed that folks who drive Hondas (civic si, s2000), Subaru (wrx, sti), Mitsubishi (evos) love to f*ck around. Hondas always cut me off, rev their engine beside me, or tail me no matter what car I am in. I currently drive a BMW X3 35i, but I would occasionally drive my brother’s stage 2 GTR R35. Most of the time I would just ignore them, but I get pissed off at times when they cut me off and break immediately or been on my *** too close for too long. Then I d check my surroundings for cops and floor it, leave them in the dusts.
But once I was driving my Bimmer (chipped), and this heavily tuned evo totally smoked me, it was embarrassing. We will see how things turns out after I receive my stang.

Thanks to them, I realized that a 5.4L Titan is really not as mean as it appears. I think I could jog faster than one of those boats.

Even a stock IS 350 is no slouch off the line. Had one pull almost 2 car lengths on me from a stop before I even hit second gear when I had my stang at 430rwhp. When I got home I researched and saw that they come in AWD so that must have been how he launched so hard off the line. I was shocked

Yepper. It was not my intent for this thread to be a "post your street racing stories". I just started the thread to show my disgust for individuals that do, or try to start it, and my experience with the individual that tried to, with me. I have no problem if you close the thread... I think it's served its purpose.
thanks.

I watched some U-Tube videos of how people crashed their Mustangs doing something real minor but it got out of hand real quick. When somebody wants to tempt me, I go slower and let them go. I don't want to see my car a mangled heap.
