Message I'm sure you know by now where your powerband is... it's right where the mustang's isn't. The stang is very strong off the line but it runs out of breath too soon.

If you race him on the highway you'll out run him badly if you start from about 60 mph or above.

In the quarter mile, he'll definitely blow you off the line but you should be able to catch him before the quarter is up.

If you got a 5 speed, launch high to get the wheels spinning a little... it helps you get to your powerband sooner.... gotta practice this cuz too much spin will cost you the race.

For an auto, give it about half throttle off the line to get the wheels spinning then give it full throttle (this takes practice but it's effective).
