    Did this just happen?

    ive been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think of how to word this so im not flamed to death.

    ok so i live the fall, i love the middle of the night when its quiet and cool... and the smell of the night air, ahhhh.... calming.

    so after takinf my girlfriend home at 12:30am decidde to drive around town for a bit and enjoy the night, not looking for a race or anything like that after about an a half hour i decide to come home, so i flip a U in a fast food parking lot, as im doing this i notice a white 'Stang (late 90's) and wouldnt you know it, the light is orange and there we are. its a girl driving, her bf in the passenger seat. light is green and i go like normal driving. she FLOORS IT, and to my suprise its a V8, i figure **** it and floor it. now heres the odd part, she did not own me. my lights stayed in front of her rear bumper. we raced for about... id say 15 seconds.

    now i know that mustangs are no camaro's, but still! and ive beaten a few 3.8 v6's before, but i would have thought that a 5.0 would have been long gone.

    therefore ive coome to these soultuins:

    1. woman driver, couldnt shift (but im pretty sure was an auto)
    2. it was just a VERY loud, and i mean VERY loud, 3.8l (but i know well what a 5.0 sounds like and that sure was simmilar)
    3. im on cocane.

    you might say, well mabye she wasnt racing you, but im quite fammiliar with the sound of a car thats been suddenly and violently floored.

      so then it probably was a 3.8 with some aftermarket stuff then. i had no ides the 3.8's were so damn slow, thats really kind of sad... i gotta say tho, that thing sounded badass. ive not herd a 6 banger sound so deep and throaty.

          even so, maybe they weren't trying to race you?? i have this oddity happen quite often IMHO, nothing will beat the sound of a 424 with straight pipes as far as SOUND i love the sound that motor roars with.

            im absolutely sure she was trying to race me, her boyfriend grabbed the hand grip thing and looked at her like "wha?" man i tell ya tho, i cant get over the sound. i think she may have had a full exhaust system.

              If you hear the two side-by-side at idle, it's easy to tell the difference, no matter what exhaust it has. A V8 has a lower-pitch sound and more of a pulse to the exhaust ("blub-blub-blub-blub-blub"), as opposed to a V6's higher-frequency sound, with the pulses closer together ("ba-ba-ba-ba-ba"). And most inline engines don't pulse at all ("rrrrrrrrrr"). And, of course, the Harley v-twin ("potato-potato-potato").

                          ok so i raced a bone stock 5 speed 3.8l mustang last night, and i beat him by about 1 length. so im sure the one i raced before just had aftermarket crap.
