Default First Encounter

3 Month and 4800 miles later I feel like I'm just starting to get a good feel for the S. The more I drive the car the more I love it!!!

Last night as I was exiting Jamboree off the 5 south I noticed this early 90's Mustang 5.0 tailgating me. After we both made a left on to Jamboree he pulled up right next to me at the next light and yelled something like "wanta take a go at it" or something of the sorts. It was hard hearing him over my loud music and his roaring exhaust. At first I just ignored him cause I was in a pretty relaxing mood. As the light turned green I just rolled out like normal. When I hit about 5 mph I heard him floor it and just couldn't resist the temptation to show the V8 5.0 OHV (I think) what an advance engineered 2.0 liter engine can do. Since he hit the gas first he got about a 1/3 car jump on me. But as he hit the end of his 1st gear I was still pulling hard!!! By the end of 2nd gear I had a 3/4 car lead on him. Then I spoted traffic up ahead at the red light and just slowed down. He bailed all the way to the left turn lane and didn't even return my wave .

Sore loser!

Good kill! Watch out for those 5.0's though, some are fast as hey-el.
