Post WATCH OUT NOW!!!

I was on my way to club dynamite when this damn Taurus SHO cuts me off. I slam my brakes and almost gets really pissed at him. At the next stop light, I decided to burn him. I knew that it was a V8 so I decided to manually shift from 1st gear. (It was an old guy with a radar detector) We speed off but I get ahead of him from 0-70ish, then he came up on my tail, and by the time we hit 100, I just stopped because it was where a lot of cops stay. It wasn't worth it to go any faster. Probably would've gotten beaten after 110mph. It was fun!
P.S. the club was great!!

SHO's are definitely fast. Still a FORD though...

I don't get the WATCH OUT NOW subject either.

Be careful when you race one of these supped up fords. It will take quite a bit of effort. DOn't take it lightly. Never had to floor it to beat the competitor. It was a great feeling to leave him behind though-felt bad for doing it to my car.

What have you been racing that you don't have to floor it, Geo Metro's?

I thought SHOs were 24 Valve V-6s. Let me know if I am wrong.
