Either the stop lights were 50' apart, or the Mustang GT a '79 Mustang II and was running on 3 cylinders...

In reply to Klayfish:

Nah city blocks, driver may have had something to do with it. Looked like a bone stock late 90's GT. 2 people, the 'stang, They were starting to pull even/pass me when it was time to get on the binders for the next light. But they couldn't flat out leave me.

Edit: About the time I got into 3rd gear things were going their way, that better?

I owned a 95 SE and it was one of the funner vehicles I had owned. Was comfortable enough for several trips between MA & VA, handling very well, & the performance was enough to have some fun back in my days of questionable highway activities.

I had 116k on it & the timing belt went, as the parts sat in the back seat for the upcoming weekend. Took out 12 valves & a lot of money out of my than empty wallet. The brake master cylinder went on it & I just couldn't do it anymore. This was also 10 years ago & I was flat broke. I still yearn for a clean, stock one. I even saw my old car last summer & had it not started succumbing to rot I would've made an offer to buy it back.

Never underestimate the extreme underwhelmingness of a stockish 4.6 sn95. I had a lightly modded dodge intrepid that was faster than those, let alone any of my turbo junkboxes.

Thanks for the input, folks. This might be the most informative thread that I've started to date!
