Ryan Kilgore and Paul Gaither, made a date after school for a friendly competitive drag race as the two were constantly boasting about whose car was the fastest. Ryan owned a 1998 V8 5SP Ford Mustang Cobra. Paul owned a 1996 Chevy Malibu 6SP, which he declared could outrun anyone who dared to take him on. Ryan had put Paul’s offer off to prove which car was the fastest for quite some time. He finally relented assuring Paul that the Mustang was the fastest car, and it would leave the Malibu in a cloud of smoke.
