Full boltons 08 Mustang GT

[fiveoh]

Raced an 08 mustang gt on the way home from the meet up. Talked to him at the meet, his car has headers,xpipe,cai, tune, 4:10s(maybe another bolt on or two i forget) and its an auto. He keeps telling me he wants to run from a 35 roll(I thought). So we head out and I'm in 2nd gear thinking we're going from 35 when he slows down to 20 honks and hits it... I hit it but am still in 2nd at 2k rpms lol so he pulls from me pretty hard... at least 2-3 cars to 90ish. We slow down and I tell one more time I was in the wrong gear. So this time I'm in 1st, honks we both hit it at about 20... he pulls about a 1/2 car on me(he got a slight jump I think) then I hit 2nd and he takes it to a full car, as I look down and see the traction control assistance button light up(forgot to turn tc off for both races I realize at that point ARGH!). After that I start slowly reeling him in at around the 1/4 mile(108ish) im starting to nose ahead and we shut it down at 117 with me about half a car ahead. Pull next to him tell him good race and he said his car shifts into OD at 110 so it wont pull hard after that. I wish we could have gone from a dig(and I'd have turned TC off) I think I could have pulled him more but it was a little wet and he said he had really bald tires and just spins.
