This is funny that this just happened after I installed my AEM intake. I was at a stop light with some older dude in a 2005 Ford Thunderbird...

As we go he hears my exhaust and punches it and so do I from about a 10mph roll. We're neck and neck until I hit about 40-50mph and then I pull on him by about 2 car lengths or so and then I hit the brakes since we're doing 60+ in a 40mph zone. Then I slow down to him and I give him a thumbs up but he didn't wanna look over at me.

I didn't realize those cars were that fast?

Btw, I have BullyDog Tuner, Nismo exhaust with the AEM intake. I have a feeling that I would have beaten him a good deal better had we started directly off the line and been able to go to higher speeds perhaps.

Should be real close, that ford has alot more torque but also is a heavy weight. One thing about V8's is a intake and exhaust will get you 20+ to the wheels then add a tune you got a fast car...
