Post Mustang=death

It was in the afternoon with no one around. A mustang convert with a guy in it pulls up. When light turns gree, he guns, I wasn't ready so I totally tire spin and am still in auto mode. He beat me for a few seconds, then I caught traction and I shot past him like a motherf*&%$#. At next light, he looks really pissed, I asked him what's his horses, he like 200 something...bull, the reg. stangs only have 190hp. Oh well, funny shiet!(this was very safe, only to about 45mph wiht noone around)

190hp is for the V6, then it's just the regular one I guess...

A LX can be a 4 Cyl, that does about 17 in the quarter, so I hope you did beat him...
