Gus gets lucky
Gus Mahon, 6/05/00 As hard as I try to avoid street racing, nice opportunities pop up everywhere, and since I haven't raced at a track yet this year, I broke down and street raced just now. YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE THIS ONE, but I know it's true!
I was just coming home from Auburn, MA, heading South on 395. I was cruising in the empty minivan at about 75 mph. There is a Mustang 5.0 pulling up on my right side, about to enter the highway from a near-parallel ramp. We are going exactly the same speed, and it's obvious that we're on a collision course. I have the right of way, so it's up to him to brake and let me go first. I can't move over to the left, because another car is crawling by me on my left.

MUSTANG BOY is not going to brake! He floors it to cut in front of me. I'm in 18 psi mode (13.9's mode) and I punch it. I pull ahead of MUSTANG BOY easily to his dismay. I slow back down to 75, but MUSTANG BOY wants to fly by me, so I punch it again and we have a serious race going on. My speedo is WAY past the 85 mph max, well over 100, and I don't know how fast I'm going, but MUSTANG BOY is losing so bad that I never bother to flip my boost switch to "high". After I blow his doors off I slow down again and he can't pass me, because he has no room, and is trapped behind me. He falls WAY back, must be going 55 mph. I'm sure I know what he's up to, and I'm right! He wants me to forget about him so that he can make a high speed charge by me. I'm aware, but I let him fly by at about 120 mph so that I can further humiliate him. I want to see where he turns off the highway so that I can drag race him away from the exit ramp stop sign and pass him while he's floored.

Guess what?? MUSTANG BOY takes my exit!! He turns uphill, toward my house! He guns it uphill, and while he's chirping rubber over the cement bridge that crosses over the highway we just got off, Mean Mini goes PAST him burning both front tires and charging HARD on HIGH boost, which I am now using (or abusing, as the case may be). MUSTANG BOY is totally humiliated, and we both know it!! I slow down in Thompson center to bear right towards my house and MUSTANG BOY follows me. As we approach a stop sign, MUSTANG BOY flashes brilliant red lights at me... MUSTANG BOY IS A STATE COP!!!

Yeeee-haaa!!! We're havin' fun, now!! I stop at the sign and roll down my window to let MUSTANG OFFICER yell at me. MUSTANG OFFICER just sits behind me and shuts his light off. I drive home slowly, and he turns off 2 driveways before my own.

He is obviously in awe of Mean Mini and has flashed his lights as a "salute". DAMN, that was awesome fun!! If I was driving a Corvette I'd be in need of bail.

Boys and girls, don't try this at home.

First off, what statie drives a Mustang? I haven't seen one before in MA. In addition, who is this cop?

Seems like the ones that don't let you get an inch around the rules are the ones that SERIOUSLY abuse the rules themselves.

im not sure in the particular states but in the 90's many states had 87-93 lx notchbacks as their highway patrol cars, if you look into it online youll find plenty about them, but i highly doubt that the cop would'nt have pulled him over

in hawaii i saw staties driving corvettes, firebirds, and dodge ram rt pickups. all black with limo tint and pimped out to the 9th degree.

Mass State Police are loaded with Mustangs and also Camaros.

In fact, they have a red Camaro Z 28 from the early to mid '90's in use on I-290 in Wormland.
(Confiscated in a drug bust, I understand)

Talk about blending in with the crowd!

And although this guy mentions Auburn, I think he's talking about a CT cop from the RED flashers.

If it was within MA it was probably some whacker volunteer firefighter that was embarrassed that he lost and decided to play vigilante. I know alot of people like this, I was a volunteer firemen for 7 years!

The MA state police have a lot of goodies. I went to a State Police mock search and rescue with my department one year and they had several camaros, mustangs, etc. There are even some based near me in Leominster and Holden MA. They also have a Ford ranger with a cap that they clock speeds with and a Nissan 300Z for chase that I used to see on the pike once in a while. They would sit on the side of the Pike together, the Ranger clockin speed and the Z chasin them down.

CT state police even roll in BMW's i have seen a few.....

on the berlin turnpike theres a black camaro, i almost raced him, good thing i didnt cuz it def. was a police officer

almost got pulled over by one of those superchrged buicks a couple of years ago.
tinted to the max, followed me in the passing lane at about 85 -90 for a while.
the only thing that saved me was a broken down car in the breakdown lane.
he pulled over there and put the lights on.
i almost shat myself when i saw the lights come on inside the windshield.

if you ever see a car on the highway with windows so darkl they look painted, and it has mass plates....dont pass it.
its prolly a cop!

Let's just step back to the original story for a quick review question...

What kinda mini van has "high boost" and can completely humiliate a mid '90s Mustang LX 5.0?

Nevermind...I checked the web addy in the original post.

That's just so very wrong... :rolleyes:

There used to be a State Trooper who would drive 128 in a dark green Mustang, with SERIOULSY dark tint... used to race a lot, if I remember correctly.
