04 TL MT vs 05 Mustang GT

Well I was traveling on the highway heading to a dinner date. I was running late so I was pushing it a bit at 75 mph. A red mustang passed me at 85, so I decided to shift to 4th jump on his tail.
He slowed to 80 and moved to the right lane. I passed him then slowed to 80 to see if he would bit. Unfortunately traffic started getting heavy. I got stuck behind a slow car in the fast lane with the mustang behind me. When there was a opening, the stang took off in the right lane. I was able to jump behind him. When it was clear, the stang hit WOT from 70. I could tell because of the exhaust. Luckly I was still in 4th, so I did the same. We reached about 100 mph before having to slow down because of traffic.
Eventhough he started before me, he only pulled maybe a half of a car or less. Not by much. If it wasn't for traffic, it would have been pretty interesting. At least I finally got to tangle with one.

Wide open throttle is what it stands for but it basically means when you floor it.
