I was crusing home tonight after church and had this black Mustang GT following me pretty closely. One of the '98+ models. It was quite obvious he wanted to try his luck. However, the road we were on had way too many cars to try any thing, let alone line up at a light side by side, so I just kept on heading for home. We come to my next turn which happens to be a 6 lane divided highway, 441 for you locals, and I take the turn nice and slow so he can stay close (besides, GN's aren't known for their cornering prowess). As soon as I saw him finish his turn I jumped on it. Through 1st gear he was hanging in there. But then comes 2nd and he just starts fading back. It was great.
Anyway, I tap the brakes and start slowing down, and he pulls up beside me on my passenger's side so I role my window down. All he says is, "Are you spray'n?" I said "no," then he takes off again. I didn't give chase because we were coming up on traffic and I didn't want to do anything stupid.
As luck would have it, I catch up to him later on down the road and pull up on his passenger's side doing about 45 mph and I role the window down again. This time he asks "What does that thing have?" I look at him with a strait face and say, "It's a V6." Ohhh the look on his face.
It was priceless.
He then says "turbo?" and I say "yes." Well again he jumps on it, and I look ahead see it is clear for quite a distance. So I jump on with him about a car ahead of me. This time I just slowly reel him in and pull up next to him, look over, smile, and get out of it with my point proven.
The best part of this whole incident was when I got home. I had a message on my answering machine from my father-in-law. He saw the 1st race and couldn't stop laughing. He said he could hear the Mustang down shift and the sound of my turbo sucking tons of air. And then watched the Mustang slowly fade.
Now I have a little predicament. When he asked if I was spray'n I naturally said no because I don't run nitrous. Butttt, I got to think'n because I recently installed an SMC Alky Kit. Does that count as spray'n or not?
I feel like I kinda lied now. Help me out here.

BTW Sorry it is so long.
