3 race stories... the good, the bad, and the ugly

We'll start off with the good....
Ran a 2K+ Mustang GT. Couldn't tell if it was a auto or stick ( his exhaust was loud ). Someone correct me if I am wrong, but from what I saw on edmunds.com, they don't make GTs in auto, right?
Anyways, ran him 4 times... basically, whoever got off the line first was the winner. It took me longer to tie up if I was behind then he did. But if I got the jump, he could not pass me
the bad...
Ran a WRX stick. Couldn't tell what mods, but definitely exhaust ( saw the muffler ) and blow-off valve ( heard it ).
In a 2 block race, he would win by 1 car length. Although I lost, I thought it would be worse. I was pretty proud of the Max
(Can't wait until the 'secret sauce' is added!)
the ugly...
Saw this truck coming up hella fast. Came up behind me, then pulled over to the next open lane. It was this old guy in a Ford F-150 pickup. He didn't think I was racing him, so I took off... got about 1 car lenght... then, all I heard was supercharger and V-8 power as he flew by me... holy cow!
That thing is fast! Next light, we both launched... man... what a a$$ whooping!!! 2 block race, Killed by 3-4 car lenghts (notice the capital 'K'.) He was cool... he said he usually beats people by a block

Yeah most likely ran an older Lightning. Considering im still a Mustang freak at heart, you probably ran a 99+ Stang. The GTs come in auto and stick, but the Cobra, with 320 HP, only comes in a 5 speed. Its one sick car.
