5spd 98 Max vs 5spd 98 GT
Sorry, I could not find any local super cars like others on the board 
But, did find this older fella and his lady in a 97-98 GT at a stop light. Brief story:
I am sitting at this stop light tonight talking to my girl when this GT pulls up next to me. My foot was kind of anxious for the light to change
but then I noticed this guy was in his 40's or 50's, so I thought, "well, guess this is a now show" ,but I still thought I would tease him some to see if he was game, so I rolled forward just a couple of inches, but he just sat there. So, I go back to talking to my girl and see the side lights change to yellow and know I got about 2 secs, at just that moment he rolled forward inching toward the light. So I said what the hell, I will go however fast he goes. Light turns green and he revs through first gear with me right beside him, and then in second we both laid into it again. There was no declared winner because neither one of use pulled away, but then again neither one of use just flat out floored it off the line either. Was one of those races that you want to do, but don't want to waste your gas if the other guy isn't game. I would guess that he felt the same way. But, his Lady friend (most likely wife) did look over kind of confused at why this four door was still beside her husbands sports car. 
For the Safety Patrol, remember, I just said we went through second gear, no further. After that he turned off...

Unless it was a '99+ in which case he shoulda pulled on your @ss.

. I raced my friends slghtly modded 97 GT 5spd{jet chip, gears and K&N} a while back with my moded 95. Those older mustangs pack a good low end punch, I got taken by about 1.5 car lengths off the launch{damn snow tires!}, but by the time we hit 70 MPH we were door to door with me pulling strong. After 70 the mustang had nothing left to offer and I walked him BIG time. By 100 MPH I pulled 4 car's on him, lol. So if you kept going you would have walked away.
