thought i was in for a challenge....

I was heading home last night and heading the same way was what looked like a s281 well I turn off after he revs a bit and get along side him going about 30mph. He looked over I motioned race, he smiled figured he'd impress his girl with him I guess. Did a count 3.....2...1 he jumps out I get on it after he gets bumper to bumper I tear through in third then hit final and launch about three cars before I shut down at 70.... he waves says nice car turns off after I ask what he had.... it was a damn 5.0 with a body kit... lol oh well at least he was a cool guy waste of time all the same.

Why were you in forth gear at 70mph ?

either 5.0 disguised as an s281 doesnt add up either. Glad you're posting publicly about street racing...

Miss typed by final I mean slid back to drive.

Because race car!

I'm shifting into 4th at around 100mph and I have 4.11 gears lol.

I didn't technically think it was considered a street race I really never bypassed the speed limit.

In most places any contest of speed on a public street, even if its 0-20 mph is illegal and you could lose your license for it.

New information to me thanks for letting me know I won't post any 'street races' from now on just track kills. Thanks for at least being decent to me about it. I really wasn't trying to come off as ignorant.

Good kill! Its hard to get a thumbs up after a small run now-a-days

Thanks man like I said I figured it was an actual saleen just a body kit I see the kid a lot around town he doesn't rev at me at stop lights anymore lol

Eh, aren't the s281s basically a GT with a body kit? I raced one several years ago (on the drag strip of course) and beat him pretty badly both times. He said he missed a gear both times I beat him, but I had him all the way down the track.

Just a little paint, decals and a fancy exhaust system. I got tired of kicking Mustang ass so I do not even run them anymore.

Are you just speaking of basic gt trims? I've seen a few mustang s281sc 197s that are quick and a few gt500 around where I live that scream! Albeit I'm running with just bolt ons and a 3.73 a4 car.

wow, you really have to lie and say you were on the "drag strip" in the kill stories forum now, have'nt been on this site in a while, boy did it change geez

PC strikes again! Looks like somebody's mom is acting as a moderator.

Even the 4.6 s281 is slow unless it's the s181e with the blower. That's a whole different car. More like a roush stage 3. I had a stage one pull up it looked great but I beat that thing in my 09 cobalt SS turbo it would have been a waste of gas in my TA
