    2011 GT 5.0....Finally raced one

    Okay so me and my girl are leavin the mall and as we're leaving I spot a new 5.0 in the back of the lot all by itself and some dude and girl walking towards it. I assumed it was his so I gave a little rev as I passed. I look back and the unlock lights turn on so it was his. I go on my merry way home hoping I'll catch up with one on the streets.
    About a mile away from the mall now I get stopped at the lights and I'm talking with my gf about somethin (lol, she says I never listen) and up pulls that mustang. Now in my head I'm thinking how effin perfect. I never race with anyone else in my car and very seldom on the streets. I see the cross traffic lights turn red so I await the green just waiting to see if he'll go.
    He gives quite a bit of gas to drive normally so I kinda match his rpm's just to start and he and I gunned it in perfect harmony....We're reaching about mid 1st and we're neck and neck he shifts I gain about a fender shift into second and he's right there in the same spot I get higher into second and it's just matched so evenly I maybe started to inch. I get to the top of second and I come back to reality and start to slow down again.
    We both hit the double turning lane. I roll down my window throw up a thumb and I see him through his tint do the same and we went onto our own ways.

    The outcome was just how I dreamed it. I am so close to them with what I've done but I'm still impressed for a stock car.
    I'll mark it down as a KILL

    I have Texas speed headers, TSP ORY, Magnaflow Catback, Lid, TB bipass, and....SFC's lol I forget the smaller stuff....
    358.5rwhp/ 369.7rwtq 3600lbs race weight---BOTH measured last year and since I've thrown on about 10k miles.

    OOOOO yea. I'm very pleased guys

What is " tsp. ory and sfc " and maybe some others I've seen but can't thing of right now ???. I know how dumb this sounds, I haven't been on this site for too long but it sure has been a God send so far !

    Well I hear theyre rated at 377-395 Rwhp with the same weight (3600 lbs)
    Can't confirm just yet but as far as his exhaust, I assume it's stock because of how new the 5-o's are but it sounded absolutely godly. One of the best exhausts I've ever heard

    Oh and I don't understand why there are haters, I raced it, thought I'd share. If you wanna do a run with 3rd gear go hunt one down and tell us about it. If I was the type of guy who races anywhere anytime without concern of laws and lives I would have but I didn't. I had my fun with the 2 gears and will keep it as a kill
