Had some fun with a GTP
This is not a kill story or anything. But, since I have never posted any "racing" stories, I thought I might.
As I am getting on the freeway, my buddy points out a sweet looking GTP. I can see that there are three "kids" in the car, and they come over in the lane next to me. I am still in second at about 40 mph when they start messin' around. I have a five speed, so I pop and go, shift to third and leave them behind. They gave me a thumbs up (as did I) and that was it.
The reason I say it is NOT a kill story is because I know that the GTPs are pretty bad *** from a hole shot. Taking one from a roll at the top of my power band isn't really fair.

Also, I was behind a Ford F150 SVT. Are these ALL Lighning? I was behind a blue hair in a pretty trick F150 SVT coming off an on ramp. I dindn't think he would do anything, but as soon as we hit the interstate, he tromped on it. (As did I) I reeled him in pretty quick. This tells me one of two things:
1. Not all F150 SVTs are Lightnings.
2. He DID NOT tromp on it.
Thoughts?

the lightning doesnt say F150 anywhere on it.
there was no other SVT F-series.

One thing though, how old do you think the truck was? The older lightnings, 1994, were nothing more than a dressed up F150. There was not much motor work done.
