That's exactly what I was thinking.


But if you knew he was coming then why did it scare the hell out of you?

ive seen a GT a couple of times...mostly in showrooms but i did see a yellow w/ black stripes one on the highway and an all grey one parked in front of mcdonalds ()

ever been to an indy car race? now THATS loud....i was way back at the nosebleed seats almost and whne they start up they sound like a muscle car without an exhaust (but 10x as loud)...and then when they start revving up, holy crap, it goes from a low ruble to a higher pitch than a baby screming...i think they hit 19,000rpms (and thats the limited rpm too)...and the v10's can reach up to 22,000rpms.....i woulding want to think what would happen if something broke in the engine when it revving that high...

About 6 months ago I caught a glimpse of a ford GT making a left turn. Then a few weeks ago, I see a ford gt in my rearview mirror. Same one. I ended up driving along side of it for about 4 miles until it turned.
