Congrats on winning, but are you sure he was trying all the way to 80 mph? 12-15 cars by 80 mph is a HUGE lead, and I don't think our SRT8s can kill a Mustang GT that bad, not even the older 260 hp Mustang models. I suspect that you quickly put about 4-5 cars on him and he gave up and backed off with his tail between his legs to avoid further embarassment

Once he realized my intentions, he decided to catch up and sit on my bumper. Fortunately I got another red light, but this time he was behind me. Once the light turned green it was on. The ESP was completely off and I was manually in first. I barely spun the tires and pulled on him the whole way. We ran from 0 to about 80 and the CSRT8 just destroyed that poor Mustang! My best guess would say he was at least 12-15 car lengths behind me. I know, I know, it was just a Rustang, but I really thought it would have put up a better fight. It was a brand new GT w/ all the body kit pieces, racing stripes and "Ford Racing" decals on it. What a joke! All show and no go! I was stuck in traffic making a turn and he passed me going straight, but at least he was cool enough to roll down his window and give me a thumbs up. Except for the Blastin' Bob's my 300 is my completely stock family sedan,,,,,,, for now!
