I mostly get stupid fucks in 1500 Silverado's trolling me.

I have however gotten a few really good randoms. I was sitting in traffic this summer and a fucking hatch Honda rolls by and revvs, get onto I-30. I was bored so I said fuckit, gonna teach this guy a lesson. Chased him down and we ran. I was on street tires and couldn't hook but still eeked out a win, but his car was very respectable. Probably in the 600+ whp range. Surprised the shit out of me.

I've had a couple off of Coit/121 lately. I got an Aventador wanting to play. I thought about it for a minute, then thought better of it. He screamed off from the light in a hurry. About the only way I think I could have stayed in the ballpark with him is if I was on slicks. I also had a early 90s 5.0 a week or so ago. He was cammed with loud exhaust. We hit it and I dropped him by 3-4 cars. Then when he caught up to me, he said 'next time I'll put my foot to the floor' and turned off shortly afterward. I also had a Vette want to go when I had my bicycle/bike rack on the car. I wasn't gonna play, but when I decided to, he took off to catch up and play, he floored it. Douche. Woulda been funny to beat him with my bike on my car.

Vettes taste just like chicken........

Not worried about vettes. ZR1, Z06, yawn...

jayman33 01-06-2013 12:26 AM

I never seemed to encounter any cars when I'm in the Mustang however, when I'm driving the jeep I see a shit ton of them. Being around Fort Bragg, they all drive like idiots.

LOL, I hate to break it to you, but even your car will struggle against a stock ZR1. Run into a modded one and you're in trouble. :laughing1:

I don't think it will be a problem with a little pulley and some corn.

Mustangs needs to typically need to make 150-175rw more to be door to door to a Zr1. Big weight difference, gearing and the aerodynamics really come into play on the big end. You're best bet is to run from a dig, but your car spins like a President in a intern scandal so you're screwed either way. lol.

So I need over 800rwhp, okay. ;-)

If you're feeling frisky, there's a black Z06 at HPP that might be up to the task. Tuned on E85 with a small shot. IIRC, he makes around 1000 at the wheels.

Yup, don't spin, don't shift like a granny, don't miss a gear and steal the hit like a......and you have a good chance. I can arrange for you to run one if you like. :)

LMAO! That is SO not a fair race.

Phuck Phace 01-06-2013 12:43 AM

I'm not scared, I beat a 1988 corvette once.

Grandpa 01-06-2013 12:48 AM

Even with my blower cars (this one included), I don't bother with modded Z06's and Zr1s from a roll. They have such long legs on the highway and make crazy MPH. It's a guaranteed race to go 160+ and I don't need to be doing that shit. lol.

I love C6 Vettes, such awesome machines.

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 12:58 AM

I had the luck of pulling up against a camaro SS and and 350Z at some back-woods stop light, put them both a good distance behind me up to about 70 before I cut it out. I tangled with a Nissan GTR on a late night empty freeway, when I floored it he couldn't pass me, though I wasn't willing to take it to the extreme. I'm sure the car could outrace mine if given the circumstances, but it wouldn't blow me away.

Hmm.

I raced a stock GT-R when I was making around 430rw and he beat me pretty easily.

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 01:15 AM

From stand still those cars are monsters, I know it wouldn't be any competition. On the freeway I didn't think the GTR had a big advantage. Of course a huge caveat to my story is that the driver of the GTR might not wanted to have been to aggressive.

Not for any of us! LOL! He was up there today while I was dropping my car off. That damn car is just plain bad ass. Even smells good while it's running.

This. I've raced them at the strip and on the highway and had my ass handed to me each time. Those cars are quick and fast.

The GT-R has one of the quickest 60-130 times ever recorded, just 3.1 seconds. You really think they don't have an advantage from a roll?

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 02:38 AM

I'm just relaying my one time encounter, per the thread. The GTR and I was on an empty freeway starting about 60 going to 100. For whatever reason he just stayed behind me. I assumed if his car was so much faster he would've blown my doors off. For whatever reason he trailed me up to 100. Again, I realize for whatever reason, he/she may not have wanted to give it all the GTR has.

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 02:41 AM

Although I don't know why he would have bothered to go up to 100? Probably just fucking with me.

He might not wanted to have risked having to replace the ridiculously expensive transmission. That would describe the majority of GT-R owners I have met. For every one that is willing to beat on it, there are 10 who will never take it to redline even once.

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 02:49 AM

While then, there you go. Ford wins, what good is a fast car if you can't risk being fast? Guess the 5.0 is faster!

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 02:50 AM

I take mine to the redline at least once a day!

LOL, I'm still babying mine. I rarely get on mine, but of course my little girl is with me most of the time so I can't. It's slow, I know it ,so there is no point in beating on it until I can mod it up. I STILL haven't turned the traction control off yet. hahaha.

jpgraham65 01-06-2013 03:25 AM

Haha. The first thing I do is turn off the traction control each day, I rationalize it by telling myself it saves the rear brake. This is my first sports car and I don't have any children yet so I can't resist.

This is my 15th Mustang. Been there, done that.

Luke 01-06-2013 09:29 AM

When I had my 03 Cobra (made right about 500rw) I raced a GTR on the highway, pretty much a driver's race, it was very even. Not sure if it was stock, but wouldn't be surprised.

Crash 01-06-2013 03:38 PM

Yeah, some of these new 5.0's are crazy loud like NASCAR loud. I don't know how they can drive it like that.

I'm one of those guys. Long tubes, off road x muffler deletes, just the factory resonators still in place. It's ridiculously loud at WOT, but just has a nice deep rumble while cruising.
