Alright I have an 06 Mustang GT with CAI tune and pulleys.
Yesterday evening around 8, I was at a red light with next to me what appeared to be a new honda civic, new wheels (black), bright white lights, etc.. So I thought to myself..ok, an easy pray.
The light turns green, I am waiting for him to hit it, the first 3secondes we both went as if we were not racing, but then I hear his engine going to a much higher rpm, therefore I hit it right after him. As my car is an automatic, and I was going at a bad speed (around 20mph or 25) when I floored it, it didn't downshift, it felt like I was already in 3th so I had to wait for the power to arrive. Even then, we were dead even, then I hear the noise of a very loud turbo (the aspiration noise..), at that time I was at a good rpm, around 3 or 4, and we were still next to each other. as I arrive at 5rpm I was pulling away from him, half a car, but I needed more because of the incoming traffic I needed to pass him, or to break ! I chose to pass him, at around 80mph I was more than a car away from him and I was able to pass him.
I think that if we started the race right at the light I would have pulled on him much harder, although I know that turboed civics can be hard to kill.
I am soon getting 4.10 gears so tell me, I would have pulled much harder on him with 4.10 right ?
Thank you for listening.
