So I was reading the racing section today, and I though, well hell, I take a drive today and maybe I get to write a story. As luck would have it. We'll start about 2 weeks ago, a friend of mine that lives in the same apartment complex, drives a 94 Mustang 5 speed, with exhaust, intake, diff gears, cams, throttle body, the whole bit. I pulled up next to him in a double turn lane. Of course we wanted to race. As the light turned green to turn left down the street, we both floored it. I fish tailed real bad and he got about 2 car lengths, but I got traction and pulled on him pretty easily until I passed him around 80. It was a good race, but he knew I was quicker, he helped me work on my car since he is a certified mechanic. Well today, as I was looking for my race, I backed out of my parking spot and saw a red Saleen rev up and it drove in front of my. It was the same guy, this time with his older brother's Mustang. I got pretty excited, switched off the VDC, and got right behind him as we pulled out of our apartment complex. He floored it and fishtailed, as did I, and it was over from there. He kept pulling away, till about 100 and he was about 5 car lengths away, I could still smell the straight pipe scent. He told me where he got the car, as I listened to the obvious cam work. I have always looked down on Mustangs, since I grew up with my dad beating them with his Trans Am, but this one changed my mind. (reference: 2003 5AT sedan, pop charger, 1/2" iso spacer, ztube)

Some visual reference, I forgot to mention the green one is V6, but a badass V6 at that.

Those Saleens will still tear you a new one...the last generation will just rip your asshole right open...

Very nice, I hate to meet up with the latest generation, I heard they are pretty sick. BTW, the red one isn't blown.

Only the S351 is fast, not the S281.

It was damn fast to me, and plus it had been reworked a lot, cams, intake, exhaust
