That is when i floored it and pulled away for the mustang. after looking at it in the review mirror i glanced the speedometer and ws doing tad over 140 mph.
Reminds me of the first day I picked up my car in Sacramento and was following at a respectable distance a Mustang convertible in the fast lane for about 10 minutes doing 65 to 70 mph. Not really paying attention and just enjoying the car and looking around at the controls and whatnot. Traffic disappeared and the Mustang moved over to the slow lane and I was about to follow when all I saw was clear road ahead with NO cars, no overpass, nothing! Without even thinking and without any provocation from the Mustang I floored it just to see what she can do and the last thing I saw was 130mph on the speedo. I wanted to keep my foot down but in the back of my head I was thinking this is a car I know nothing about (are the tires properly inflated, does it have any handling problems, etc) I coasted down to 70mph all the way home and right at that moment I fell in love with this car.
