that's funny but be careful..........I don't want to read any more obituaries
Some of the nicest highways up in north central Alberta, Canada are the
> secondary highway "backroads" which are flat, straight and allow plenty of
> room for top speed due to their abstinence of law enforcement and low
> traffic numbers. It was here where a stock 300HP '05 mustang GT took a
> considerable spanking from an SRT-4.
> As I was heading along my merry way at an effortless 80mph cruise in 5th
> gear (overdrive), I happened to notice a vehicle up ahead that had made a
> quick swerve around a road hogging chevrolet avalanche. Curious to see what
> was doing this maneuvering, I accelerated to about 100mph, blew by the
> avalanche before the driver knew I was even there, and came within a good
> 300ft from the back of the dual tipped pipes of this contented Ford owner.
> It was about at this time I'm sure that he had noticed my cross haired grill
> creeping up from behind him. He started to lean on it until I was no longer
> catching him. By this time, we were both easily at 100mph + and stayed like
> that for a mile or so until another upcoming vehicle needed passing. He
> slowed to 70mph and then when the coast was clear, pulled into the oncoming
> lane of this 2 lane highway and booted it. Since I was behind him and
> ensuring no other oncoming vehicles were approaching, I depressed the little
> srt-4's accelerator and proceeded to pass this car with the mustang in WOT.
> Now both in our proper lane and me in pursuit, we stayed into the throttle.
> The mustang was pulling away from me at the initial pass and kept gaining
> distance (although not that quickly) until its limiter started to kick in.
> At this point, both cars were doing around 135mph with no obstructions
> ahead. Now at 140 the tail of the mustang was starting to approach, while
> the SRT kept gaining!
> 141...142....143.....144......145!....and still had pedal to go! A
> progressing swerve into the passing lane at 145mph, the Z rated tires gluing
> to the road, I came up along beside the 'stang and still he was not letting
> up or backing off. I drove around him and stayed into it at 145 and pulling
> away. I was about 5 vehicle lengths in front of him when he finally let off
> and conceated defeat from a 4 cylinder neon.
> True backwoods roadracing at its best.
> Let this be a lesson to you stock GT Mustang owners out there!
> You mess with a RAM and you'll get the horns! ;-)
