Trying to delete the post but I appreciate your responses. Looks like driver error on my part and uneducated to the Mustang GT! I feel better!

Was scrolling down HOPING someone would mention this, plus the fact, the year makes a big difference, SOME GT's you should be able to compete with... The Shelby's, NO

Even in the right gear, you should have lost. [EDIT] Should have mentioned it depends on which GT. The old GT is slower, but the 5.0 is faster.

Also, PM a Trips or Frost for the thread. I don't think you can close it on a base account? I can't remember.

He never even mentioned that it was a 5.0 LOL!!! Maybe he is a bad driver, maybe the GT was a 4.6 and modded. LOL. You guys need to stop drinking the 5.0 Cool Aid.

yeah, but it makes the story funnier if you keep imagining it with progressively slower and slower Mustangs.

"So, I lined up and this Mustang II started throwin' revs at me, and then all I saw were his tail lights."

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last year 4.6 was exactly the same on the outside down to the sequential tail lights as the first year 5.0??? Or at least very close no? All I'm saying is if I'm telling a story about me getting smoked by a 5.0 I'm calling it a 5.0.

maybe it was a 4.6 GT that was in the proper gear to accelerate... or it was a 5.0, either way they knew what gear to be in...

Strictly speaking, that's no longer the current bodystyle.


We can argue all day about what the OP may or may not now, but it is a perfectly reasonable interpretation to assume actually meant a new car, not a 2010.
