I was off to Princess auto today to buy some ramps which are on sale and enjoying the long drive to the other end of the city.
While on the highway cruising in the middle lane the Mustang comes up from behind and stays beside me to my left. "2NDSUCKS" is what the plate read on what I would guess was a 2002-2004 model.
The highway is 4 lanes at this point and we are doing 60. I hear a gear drop and the revs go up but I'm not biting. They seem to get bored and keep going, I maintain my speed. I still have about ten minutes to get to my destination when the Mustang slows once again and we find ourselves side by side in a more appropriate area that is wide open. This time I bite and decide what the hell. I hear his car drop a gear and the exhaust note increase, I ease my foot into it, he floors it and the GN pulls away like the other car pulled a parachute.
I guess now he knows for sure that 2NDSUCKS. As I am pulling off of the highway and decide to check the scan master, guess what "no reading when I hit the recall button!"
I never hit wide open throttle and it came up blank. I would have loved the opportunity to say next time I'll actually give it some throttle but didn't get the chance. Got my ramps and a few other goodies as well. A great day so far.
Recently fixing an exhaust leak has truly unleashed the beast and the recent vacuum brake conversion has truly made the car a pleasure to drive. Stay tuned for more kills I will be out much more often, weather permitting. A track day is in order, my best pass to date 11.48 @ 118 mph, this with the exhaust leak and a zero boost launch. Mods in Sig. Link to my pass if your bored.
