my cousin just traded his ls1 camaro for an 89 mustang.(the camaro had a rod knock and there was some noise in the rear end.) so him and his friends were bragging about how fast it was. it has a small cam, short throw, cai, 70mm bbk throttle body, ported heads, headers, 75 shot(bottle isnt filled yet). i told him to line it up. so we raced from a dead stop at a light where its perfect to race cuz the road basically turns into a highway. i pulled 2 lenghts off the line and he started to catch up but stayed right at my rear bumper all the way to 135 when i let off. he wasnt too happy. lol. just cuz your car has the word "mustang" on it doesnt mean its fast.
awhile ago i was supposed to race my cousins friend with an impala ss. 5.3l. he has exhust and pcm work. i was doubting myself since those run like 14.2 stock. i just lined up next to him randomly at a light and i saw him creepin forward and slammin on the brakes real hard like he wanted to race me. so the light turns green and i beat him by 2 lenghts by 60mph. 5.3=garbage
two days ago i raced an srt4. he was on 14lbs of boost and open dp. dead stop i beat him by two lenghts all the way. then we raced from a 45 roll and he stayed right next to me til about 125 then i started walking away.
all these races were with a messed up trans too. my valve body is messed up so everytime the car shifts the converter goes into full lockup for a second or two then comes out of it. so these races wouldnt have been as close as they were if i had a decent trans. im gettin a new velve body this week. i will prolly race my cousin on spray this time if it isnt too cold. and im goin to the track this weekend for test n tune. hoping for 13.5 on street tires.
