Now im not suggesting that he beat him as you said it is impossible to beat the stang.
I am suggesting tho that it is completely possible for him to hang up to 50.
Just admit that its possible, now im not saying on paper, with both drivers being the best. Just saying on the street with a young kid not knowning everything about how to drive his car. IT IS POSSIBLE!

Heck, I could outrun a Top Fuel dragster in the 1/4 mile if the driver was an idiot and didn't know where the gas pedal was. But there is no point in coming here to say "OMG I outran a Top Fuel dragster today!!!" because no one else can expect the same results. It would be a fluke.

Needless tgo say i smoked em. It was an 05 LARIAT. I however know how to drive...with the traction button on there is very little slippage going from 1st to second. You might have hung with him its possible...
