I can believe a stock DSM taking the stock 5.0L off the line, but by
3rd gear it's over, as the 5.0L will pass easily.

I can believe a turn-up-the-boost DSM beating a stock to mild 5.0L by
a close margin.

But your car is not a DSM.

Your Isuzu is a dog.

Gimme a break.

Maybe the Mustang wasn't racing you, or he can't drive, or he ran out
of gas.

"Humiliate"?

Puhhhhleeeze...LOL!
