It wasn't a 5.0 however, but maybe the cleanest 05-09 I have ever seen. It had a big giant hood and a nice little body kit on it. I'm assuming it was catless with full exhaust because it was loud and sounded sick. Plus it was all white so I assumed it had to be pretty fast.
As I cruised by the guy I noticed he had his girlfriend with him in the passenger seat. I gave it a litte rev as I casually drove by and he decided to catch up and return the favor. After a little posturing from him he started dropping gears signalling he wanted a go at it, so I dropped gears as well. He didn't want to go below 60mph which is the bottom of third for me, but thanks to the new stall it isn't as bad as it used to be. We honked it off and went and I pulled 2-3 cars lengths on him quickly. I realized under that giant hood he must not have been hiding giant supercharger after all. We made three pulls but I shut it down by 85-90 every time because I was just blowing by him. I'm talking bus lengths. He and His girlfriend/sister/lady friend or whatever was a good sport about it as she smiled a lot, and home boy gave me a thumbs up and we went about our business.
Ironically there was another mustang cruising along with him. It was a 2010-12 model but I couldn't tell if it was a 5.0. He just hung back and wanted nothing to do with it. Can't say I blame him. I'm so used to running cars that are cammed or super charged that I forget what it is like to run against a regular/bolt on car. Really puts things into perspective because I was really wondering why his car seemed so slow compared to mine. Oh yeah, my car is bad ass :drink:
