Well I just had a decent rush tonight from a stop light.

I was coming home from a friends house, jamming to Guns and Roses, when a 06 Mustang GT pulls up next to me and rev's its engine. Now I know that He's got close to 300 hp and I'm hopefully putting out 185. The lights goes green. He smokes me off the line and up until the first 150 foot mark. I hold my shift to 5500 on first and second. By the time I shift to third we're side by side. 5500, shift again. 4th comes slowly, and I see him in my rearview. I look at the speedo and it was more than 85.

Nah I think he missed a shift or hit the rev limiter.

Just because you have a 'fast' car doesn't mean you know how to drive :)

Most Mustang guys remind me of that prick driving the Viper in FnF:Toyko Drift. Sure, you know how to read the brochure...

Methinks you are missing the point.

The coolest response would have been to shape to race, then let him hoon away while you just saunter off the line, with a very smug look on your face ! :D

i think you just caught a duck there, boy! if the driver of the mustang had a stick shift, and knew how to drive it, he'd smoke you just like that. and btw, 525i can happily rev up to 6000 and then change the gear, it's not a problem. the limiter is 6500rpms, but no need to rev it up that much.

and for the quick start however, best starts are made from 4000rpms drop clutched.
