Default Got a taste of the good race

My buddie egged me on about buying a Mustang (best thing I ever Done) but now that I have one there had to be a race he owns a 1992 GT we left school the other day (night school) around 11:00pm and the race was on I pulled about a car length in front of him and slowly continued to pull away we passed an early 90 's model LX 5.0 and he got into the race I backed off of it (scared) but then decided the hell with it I caught them both passed them both then relized how fast I was going 145 (panic) needless to say i lived to tell about it, but honestly didnt think my Mustang would do a hundred and fourty five MPH pretty Awsome.

dear god... careful... way dangerous doing that speed man. I can understand from one redlight to the next (less than a 1/4 of a mile for me when I do it)... but that's insane.

yeah, mustangs were not quite made to go that fast. Aerodynamically i mean. I was in my buddies bullitt and we were doing upwards of 140... i dont know wasnt really looking at the speedo, but the front end of his car started to lift up a lil, and actually started drifting to the right. Pretty scary..... to add to the fear was the fact that he was doing this on a bridge......

Careful driving there buddy. Normally I wouldn't care but we're in the same state here so I'd rather not get in a head-on with you.
