I didn't know he wanted to race until he had 3 lengths on me, but I caught up to him around 90. You should have seen the look on his face.

Was it a stick or auto?

I can burn autos easily with my little 4.8, but the sticks will pull on me.

I don't doubt you but you would have to running 13's to run down an '05 GT. Man I wish we could get VHO's here in Md. I'd trade my truck in before my wife could object. Great kill!

I'd say he'd have to run in the 12's to "catch up to" a GT. You must have some SERIOUS power in that truck. Factory freak maybe?

you sure it was a GT? the GT runs 0-60 in just over 5 seconds and the quarter in 13's. I doubt a VHO with a tune and exhaust will pull off a high 13. maybe he missed a gear
