[QUOTE="SleeperS197, post: 16306261, member: 196464"] Before I tell this story my mods are CARB Certified Araid CAI, H-Pipe (stock cats), Axel Back, BBK 90mm throttle body, throttle body spacer, E85 BAMA Tune (revised like 4 times lol) and stock 3:73 gears on a 2011 Mustang 5.0 Premium W/Brembo. I want to know what you guys think happened here. You probably can guess where this one is going. Okay so the other night I was driving home and I see a set of tail lights tailgating me on the access ramp in Mexico, It being two lane merge I let him go around me, but as he goes around I hear the sound of a modified LS motor blow by me. I decide to drop to 3rd about 50 and chase it down. He begins weaving so I give up (not my thing). Somehow I end up catching up to him without really trying, pull next to him, and asked for a run. He says “You’re car is not worth my time. I have over 700 horsepower.” Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight you’re initiating a race (chase) but when I’m now lined up with you you’re too good for Lucille? In fact, who even says that? I think it was kind of a rude thing to say and it rubbed me the wrong way. So I straight lied to him and said I have 520 to the wheels lmao! He slows to 35 and so do I and down shift to second. When he drops down (automatic) his supercharger was so effing loud it drowned out my almost FBO exhaust (stock headers and cats). And I thought to myself “Oh crap.... What did I get myself into?” So we take off and something surprising happens. Through all of second and by the time I shift into third and he couldn’t pass me. In fact I’m a half car length ahead. As I approach forth I can hear that thing screaming like a V from hell but he still can’t catch me. Once I was at about 6000rpm in 3rd I knew I would have held him off in 4th as well (you guys with experience know that feeling, you just stronger than the other car) But unfortunately I shifted above 7000rpm like an idiot and it locked me out. But point is Lucille was worth his time. Lol. So what do you guys think? There’s a few explanation to what happened here. And I would love your insight. Here’s some options haha a.) He doesn’t have 700hp (my first thought) b.) He was playing with me. (Doubt it considering the surprised look on his face and hearing that loud ass supercharger) c.) Lucille (my car) is actually secretly alive, heard what he said about being a waste of time, and she demanded he put some “Ruspeck” on her name. d.) Somehow my car reacted to the mods incredibly well and have an unusually high power output. (Same outcome in Mexico with a 2012 Porsche 911 turbo (11.4 1/4 124mph)). e.) Other. [/QUOTE]
