On the way back home from Vegas this past weekend, and we're just barely to Primm when 2 grey cars flash by us...an F430 and an SL65 AMG, with a blue Mustang GT (new) in tow. I figure I might be able to keep up with the GT, so I give chase.

The Ferrari and MBZ were dicing a little too much in traffic, so I would let them go ahead and then catch up when it was safe. The F430 and SL65 broke away at one point, leaving the GT and myself behind to play catch up. The GT pulled on me from any RPM, I just couldn't match it. There was one point where I seemed to stop his pull; it lost steam above 125mph. We took off from ~130 or so and we were even to ~145. But anything under 125 and the GT walked me.

That F430 sounds GORGEOUS, but I'm sure you knew that! :D

It's pretty hot even with the current motor. The throttle response of a well-tuned n/a motor is still pretty intoxicating stuff, and the new Mustang actually has excellent ride and handling. The build quality is not shabby, either. If they made this package in a RWD sedan, I'd get one.

has nothing to do with that.

he is stating on a world wide forum, he is partaking in reckless driving, excessive speeds, racing, should i continue,

if his actions would of created an accident and your three beautiful kids were hurt, you'd be OK still?

racing is dumb, posting about it like a little kid is also.

Thanks for the tip, Johnny Law. For future reference, if you don't like RACING threads, get the f#&k out of the RACING forum. :rolleyes:

He's allowed to bitch at you if he's a MOD and your post clearly breaks the rules.

Its not super hard to figure out....... When you say something along the lines of I couldn't weave through traffic as fast as they did and they lost me its kind of a no no. Because it buts a mental picture in everyones head of some assclown cutting back and forth across a busy highway.

I'm sure mostly everyone has done it at some point. Just leave that stuff out of the posts, you can still get your point across without posting about illegal activities.
