lucky7_93021 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Last night on the way home down the 118 I was stuck behind some slow moving traffic. I get over and start passing the line doing about 75 and find that the leader is a brand new Mustang GT. As I passed him I could tell he started to pace me so we both hit it. I hate when slow people decide no one can pass them... especially when they are driving pos fords. Anyhow.. from 75 he pulled past me a truck length but stopped pulling around 100. From 100 until my needle was buried I actually started reeling him in a bit. We let off because some traffic was ahead. He dropped back and wouldn't play anymore. I think he was pissed that his brand new Mustang would'nt outrun a truck. I was just pissed he got out in front of me. How fast are those things? I looked over at my girlfriend and said to her, "You see... that's why I need the GDamn turbo"! She rolled her eyes and told me $5000 could buy us new couches and a bedroom set. Isn't that why women have jobs.... to pay for that crap? Men have jobs to buy meat, beer and make there trucks go faster right? Anyhow.. now I really can't wait for the turbo fund to be full.... I can't handle having these little bastards keeping up with me like this. I was actually thinking of getting a car for a daily driver since I put 70 miles a day on the truck... anyone scene these http://www.teslamotors.com/ ? Electric sports car that does 0-60 in around 4 seconds and gets 250 miles to a charge. Not to shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nxtnlne Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah I hate when that happens!!! It's the whole power to weight ratio thing again. Too bad he hit the gas firs! and why just 1 turbo? how about TWIN TURBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky7_93021 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Now you're talking. Definatly want the twin's but I was thinking of putting some money into headers and cut-outs too. Maybe even upgrading the trans to a 4l80 to handle the horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkt71 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I dont know man... but theres no way a mid-high 13 second car could stop pulling you at 100. That thing should have kicked your ass all the way from 50mph on. I bet he just let off and started cruising at 100... theres no way he was trying. An '06 GT kicked my wifes 350z's ass HARD from a 50mph roll.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black2003SS Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 How much is that electric car? I cant find a price. If its under $50k, thats awesome, its more than that, your better off with a gas guzzling V8 over the course of 5 years incuding maintenance.
