    So coming home from work tonight just getting off the highway just cruising. Car was feeling really tight and good. Coming to normal low traffic for it being alittle later and a few cars ahead of me I see a new stang convertible romp around a car and pass in the passing lane and I smile so I speed up a little and to my benefit the car behind him turns off and our lanes turn into three! So I pass him and he gets behind me and I see his front end spike so I do the same thing and we go for it from about 40-75 I have about a half car length on him! Then we come to a red light and I'm smiling for now because of this. We'll the green light hits and we drop the hammer and go. I stick with him for a few seconds and he starts pulling away from me and about 75 I'm at his back wheel and we let off! Puts a huge smile on my face that I was able to even do that to a newer car even though it was a stang!

    2015+ come in the 4 cylinder and they are even faster then the 3.7l 300hp v6 they use to come in.
    im wondering if it was 2010'sh 4.0l v6 mustange(200hp) cause thats the only way you could keep up if your a stock 3.8l. cause the newer 3.7l v6(300h)the mustang comes with would walk you hard from a stop or a roll.
    hopefully I get my trans figured out and with my new gears and mods id like to try a 3.7l, but I think I would still lose.

    Yikes! I gotta step up my game! But I'm guessing it had the 4.0 because unless he was that good at Manuel it was an automatic. But he gave me the thumbs up and a smile and I returned because it was a good race! I'm sure if I had rockers and a better tune I would have had him! Damn zzp strikes again!

    Biggest waste of money putting mods on an N/A 3800.

    Unless it's a turbo.

    Then it's okay.

    I'd get the G8, but that's just me. The TBSS likes to eat #6 rod bearing due to the oiling setup from what I've read. There are ways to solve it though.
