I was on my home last night on the Service Road off the Long Island Expressway.

Well I spotted this Eclipse ahead on the right line, but I also spotted a Mustang V8 on the left lane. Well I wanted to play w/ the Eclipse. As far as the Mustang goes, I was like Naa, he'll eat me alive. Well I sped up to catch up to the Eclipse. I put my car in 3rd and I blew past him. However the Eclipse didnt want nothing so i want back down to 4th. But what happens next? NOw I see 2 headlights coming fast at me which was the Mustang so I was like , "Damn, I got the wrong car mad at me." Well Screw it lets go for the best. Wasting no time as he was approaching me switching into the right lane, I went back down to 3rd gear doing about 60. The Mustang's rear end is now at my fender, Then suddenly my VVTL-i kicks in, And can I tell you that I was gaining on him and now we are doing about 120 and now the mustang was about 2 cars behind me. We pulled up at the light, he brings his window down and he's like " Yo bro, what the hell u got under the hood? so I was like "nothing, bone stock, except for Intake and pulley. so he was like " Impossible" so then he was like "Lets go again from a dead stop at the light" So we did. We both go at it burning up rubber, and by the time I shifted into second gear, his car's front end was by my quarter window, and by 3rd gear he was about car and a half, so we pulled over and he wanted to check out my car hoping to find a nitrous bottle as he was claiming I had one. But unfortunately I let him down, I did not have any power adders. So disappointed he was like " Yo man this Celica aint no joke, Good luck" So both take off again. He is behind me and then he switched lanes to pass me but he didnt have enough power to pass me. Once again losing to me. And his car had exhaust and it sounded like he had work done to it, it was camming a little.

Very rewarding night. Lesson: Do not ever think that because you got a Mustang (Supposedly known to be fast) that you can walk all over the little 4 cylinders, you'd be surprised!!!

good job man...yeah i raced a few mustang and I beat them all...a couple of them were 98 and lower model year...I raced the new mustang GT last weekend on the freeway...i pulled on him pretty good, won by like 2 carlength by 120, he was stock though...has to be cause I know what the new one can do at the track...most of them get into the 13s easily. take it easy and be careful out there...good job representing.

good kill, 95's can be real turds sometimes, especially if it was an auto, don't get so cocky, there are plenty of stangs out there that don't loose to 4 cylinders.
good kill

don't worry dstang most celica owners on this board know that mustangs are fast. esp the 1999+ ones.

it's funny I was reading over at www.preludeonline.com and they think they can beat 2000 gt's if they get good launches and "4th gear in a lude will pull hard on a stang". funny stuff :)

dstang, this Mustang was a stick. And im not getting cocky at all here, I know that there are plenty of other faster cars out there, not only mustangs, but my story is about my celica and that particular mustang, [B]not all those plenty stangs out there that don't loose to 4 cylinders.[B].
My point was that there are mustang owners (cocky) out there that assume that they are unbeatable,belive me i owned 2 mustangs before and hung around lots of people like that.

This was off exit 64 heading eastbound on the service road.

Yeah, there are a lot of mustang owners out there who think they are unbeatable. Of course, there are also a lot of LS1 owners that way...and Celica owners, and Prelude owners, and Type R owners, and Supra owners (big star by this one), and corvette owners, and viper owners...etc etc. The lesson is that there's always someone badder and faster, and usually, there's a car out there somewhere that will suprise the hell out of you when it dusts yer ass. I've been the teacher and the teachEE of that lesson! :)

I did the same exact thing the other day rolling though... i was ****ing around with this guy for like 5 miles.. really trying to piss him off.. he was in a z28... anyway .. it was funny cause i knew i was gonna be murdered if i let the f*cker come near me at the wrong time.. so hes right on my ass.. we're both coming down a merge into a really big highway (it was 6 am on sunday morning), anyway i see that the guy is keeping a little distance so that he could try to pass... well i'm going about 55 down the ramp.. and i can tell you.. dont mess with the this car if its going down a ramp at 55 in 3rd... I slammed the gas and ran to revlimiter in third and half of 4th.... he was close to 5 cars behind... NO COMPETITION... after that i just hoped to got i didnt hit any red lights.. hehe...
