Another Rustang, but this time a 5.0
I was driving back home when on the feeder of beltway 8 I came to a green Rustang 5.0, I tailed gated the guy to the light and then pulled next to him 
(he needed some tizzing), when the light turned green we both took off, but I had to stop accelerating because I had a car in front of me that had just turned right, I pulled behind him and chased hito about 80 mph, I had an oppening on the right so I changed lanes and started to pull on the guy i passed him at 110 mph, but he did put a good fight!, then I had to turn right so we couldn't keep playing, I love AMG power!
I have a good amount of respect for these 5.0s, that's when Rustangs used to be good muscle cars, do a little a you had a monster, do a little more and you ended up with a beast!

Good kill! IMO, the 5.0/4.6s are quick (not fast)in stock form. But when modded...watch out.

mustangs suck
I know alot of you will be skeptical to what i write but it is true. Every Friday and Saturday night as I am driving, I get young punks (18-25, I am 30 yrs old) in Mustangs wanting to race me. I have a 98 e320 but it looks just like an E55. The majority of the mustangs are year 2000 and 2001 and have v8 motors and stick transmissions. Every one of those Mustangs that I have raced, I have blown the doors off those cars by at least 5 car lengths in a quarter mile stretch and as we both slow down they ask me what I have in the car. It is a totally stock e320 (as far as I know when I bought it used,v6) but it destroys the v8 mustangs and it is so funny to see their faces when they mess with me. Initially for the first 50 feet, they come out ahead but after that i have destroyed the mustangs. I know that alot of you will not believe me because I do have the 98 v6e320 and honestly i can't believe it myself. I used to own 2 customized 5.0.mustangs so I do understand the power with the modifications. Also I know the differance between the v6 &v8 mustangs and every one is a v8!!

Not to offend you because I respect everyone on this forum, but don't you drive an e55? With all the horsepower of the e55 vs. a new Mustang 4.6, how it gave you a run for your money, I don't know? Again, I have the 6 banger 320 that blows them away.

. I race them because they race me, they think they have a fast car, all I do is prove them wrong .We gotta watch out for the new 2003 Cobra, that thing is fast and will kill anything on his way even a Z06, all it takes is a good driver, the new Cobra is a mid 12s beast!!!

Hey, thanks for responding! I am seriously wondering why and how i blow away the new mustangs (as well as the 80's). It is amazing on Friday nights when I am minding my own business and I get the young punks that want to screw with me. It even amazes me that I end up beating them so bad that I have to jam on the brakes, sit there for about 7 seconds and then they end up turning a different direction!!!! These races are on a main street that is straight, no turns and few stoplights. What do you think

, like I said before, Rustangs want to race you and me, so why not put them to shame?
