me vs. taurus SHO

took a left onto the expressway and had an older SHO come up behind me driving kinda fast. it was dark out but i could tell what it was from the head and fog lights.

so we catch a light, me in the right lane and him in the left. i had a feeling he was going to "chirp out" so i turned off vsa and put it in d1. with this particular vehicle there was no way in hell i was going to make the first move, as to not look like a jack ass if he didn't hit it. but he did and he got a 1/2 car jump on me, but i passed him at the top of 1st, and had ~5 cars on him by the time i shifted into 3rd.

we caught another light about a mile down the road, this time i launched (well) at the same time he did and dusted him good. a couple more lengths than in the first race.


we got on the freeway a mile or so later and he gave me a ricer fly by.

I assume all motor, and yeah stock they arent that fast (low 15's). For their time they were pretty decent tho, but most are pretty beat up now.
