    Default Miata vs Mach1 Mustang (70's)

    Ok ,i was hesitant about posting this because the possable BS factor, but....

    I was comign down toward Atlanta last sat. night and i cruise by this nice clean 71ish Mach1. Pretty dark blue with white stripe on the side. Very clean car. Well, i was in the left lane minding my own and crusing along when the Mustang comes back up on me. Not thinking the guy is really going to play, i roll into 5th. To my suprise he drops and goes...damn. So knowing he's willing to do a little fun run, i catch up and drop to 4th and start easing up next to him. I guess he though i was going to fly by so as i get up to his bumper he steps on it, this time im ready. Since i was already movign about 3-5mph faster i had a advantage (that i didnt want), and rolled 4th into 5th and ended up a couple cars ahead at most. He also let off before i did... but i was ahead when he did.

    So i just took off to get to my exit. But as soon as i got to my exit, he comes flying back up. Dammit. I cant resist a even race. So i get next to him again. Drop to 4th and we both hit it at the same time from about 60. So from 60 to about 110 we were dead even I was really thinking i was goign to get waxed hardcore. But it was fun as hell, i have him a big and got off the highway and went home.

    Now there was another IA member with me in the car for verification

    Racing from a roll is not really that cars strong point. From a stop (if he can drive) it would chew you up. Or it could have been a fake.

    G.T.O.: I go fast enough.
    The Driver: You can never go fast enough.
