Default Had to show a Mustang what the Syclone can do

This was the night before the SRT10, really my first kill with my truck in the 4-5 years I've owned it (no one ever seems to want to play around my area)

So Friday night, I go out with my wife for a couple beers with a few of her co-workers. (I had A beer so no worries later in the story) So afterwards, we were going to head back to our place for a couple more drinks. A new co-worker of my wife's had never really heard of the Syclone so I offered to give him a ride back to our place and wife went with her other co-workers.

So we take off down the road, I give him a taste of the boost launch. He seems impressed. So we go down this side road and end up on a two-lane highway. It's dead, so I take it up to about 110 and back off and coast to the light coming up. As I'm coming up to the light I see a Mustang (late 90's(?)) in the right lane, I'm in the left lane behind a Honda SUV. I'm like 'dam Honda is my way' (LOL).

So we all take off sedate-like and at the next cross-road the Honda turns left. So I boost it up a little and pass the Mustang. He hits it, so I'm pretty sure he wants to play. I was already in front of him when he hit it and he didnt catch up at all. But whaddya know, the light up ahead turns red. I look over at the Mustang and the guy says he was just at the local track and ran a 14.1. I told him I've run a 13.5, then felt a little sorry for him but I had to show my wife's co-worker what a Syclone can do. So I boost it up to about 5psi and as soon as the light turns grean, I'm gone. Got a good 3 car lengths on the Mustang by the time I shut down at about 90 and he wasnt catching up at all.

Typhoon is the awd 4.3 turbo jimmy or Blaser, Syclone is the Sonoma awd 4.3 turbo. both are awd and have a 4.3 v6 not a 3.8 like the GN.
