TL-P vs. Mustang GT vs. Old Porsche

Was traveling in PA and got stuck behind a Mustang GT which was playing around with an old Porsche. The 'stang didn't like being tailgated by the Porsche so he was blocking the fast lane of the highway by going 60 next to another car. Eventually, the road cleared and the Mustang got on the gas. I tried my best to keep up and passed the Prosche (must be out of tune or something). By the time I got up to 110mph, the Mustang had about 5 car length lead then I gave up. I wasn't expecting the TL-P to keep up as well as it did. I'm not very good with the sportshift either, I was bouncing off the limiter between the 2-3 shift (could have been the 3-4) dont really know.

How a TypeS would do against a 5.0? It looks like it would be a close race. Also wondering how a TypeS 6 speed would do.

My friend had a 5.0, he said that he raced an older guy with a Type S and he got smoked. His car wasn't running very well though. He had it for less than one year and he sold it. He drives a Civic now.:p
