Last night in Mexico I noticed a new 5.0 driving a bit aggressively. Sure enough we (GF and I) caught up to it casually and tossed a rev while in 3rd gear. He either heard it or saw the car and caught up to me. Finally we got an opening but he went ahead at 4 CLs in front of me...

From a distance, the car looked wide due to the rear side window fake scoops (more on that later) and wide stripes. I was hoping it was just a Shelby GT but no luck. We happened to finally get even on my friends private driveway and he was game. I was holding 4000rpm in 2nd gear and we...
