Default Roush 380R???

i have no idea what one of these things are but i was on my way home heading down DM. when i see a nice looking conv mustang. i noticed it was a roush and said 380r on it. it was an older guy, maybe 30-40, and probably his wife or something. i didnt really think anything of it because i didnt try anything and neither did he. we both hit a light and im in the outside right lane and hes 2 over from me in the left. i just roll out of first and shift at a normal 4500, go into second and give it a little more gas and blow off with him being about 2 cars behind me...he does nothing. we then hit another light and i notice btoh them looking over at my car, maily the woman. i didnt say anything, although i was about the holla at the slizut givin me a couple looks, instead i just returned the glance and then kept lookin forward. so a min goes by and the light finally turns green. i rev to about 5k in 1st then shift when all of a sudden from right next to me he stomps it. at this point i was at about 4k in 2nd(well out of my powerband), so to compensate i give her a little double clutch action get her movin. by the time full boost hits hes got about 2 cars on me. i get to the top of second and onlt get about a half a car back, into 3rd and i finally catch up at around 90mph or 7k and let off a LOUD blow right in his lady's ear. i didnt feel like doing 100+mph down DM, and was pulling him pretty hard, so in my mind i proved my point by catching up 2 cars from 30-90 after he got the jump. sweet lookin stang and i guess its always fun to get a decent run now and then
