08 Racecraft Mustang was taunting me...

Traffic was heavy and this guy was revving his car like we were going to be able to race through the cars in front of us. I wouldn't have either way, but if I did, what would the outcome be (other than getting arrested)?

I'm stock and lets assume he was stock as well.

I'm assuming he would have eaten me for lunch.

WTF is a "Racecraft Mustang"?

and don't lie to try the appease the gods... you know you would have tried if the roads were clear. Anyone who says they wouldnt is either a liar or.... well nothing.

A Saleen would be fairly obvious if it were a Saleen, most have a big Saleen banner across the top of the windshield and or on the rear bumper...certainly no racecraft logos on a Saleen though unless added later by the driver.

According to this article, the racecraft cars are Saleen, after Steve Saleen left to start his new venture. And judging by the specs it would be pretty close depending on the model of racecraft mustang that you faced.

That's about what I trap, and I have a 3.5 v6 and 4 doors.... In other words, it wouldn't even be close.

Devilfish posted the link to what a racecraft is. They are base Mustang GTs (clothe and no options) with a saleen supercharger making 420hp. 0 to 60 is 4.4 seconds like the new brembo package 5.0s. He will probably have a slight advantage, but it will be a drivers race.
