03ish mustang gt 5-speed

I was sitting at the gas station tonight filling up the hoe, when I heard someone who sounded like they were in a hurry. I could honestly hear the car for about 2 minutes, working his way through the lights on this stretch of road. As Iwas topping it off, I saw the car approach the light across the street. It was a younger guy in an 03ish mustang gt. It sounded pretty good, but I figured why not. I took off after him, and we eventually caught a light. As I pulled up to the light, I opened the cutout, and gave him an earfull. He looked over and assumed another loud truck wanted to try and race him. I gave it half throttle to see if he'd bite and he didn't at first, so I slowed to 20 and went wot. I think he realized I was serious when the 22's broke loose and started spinning. I backed off and let him catch up, and we went from 20. He was at my back bumper until about 70 when he started to pull ahead. He ended up beating me by a car on this one. We went two more times, and got the exact same results. He stuck his arm out and gave me a so I pulled in behind him and we both pulled over. After introductions, he kept saying "I was not expecting that at all. That thing is fast." I was on my way to meet someone, so I couldn't stay and bs, but I know he had a few bolt-ons. He said that he runs 13.50's, so I'm pretty happy considering the results. More than anything, this shows me the potential that I have. These aren't excuses, just a few things that swung in his favor... I just filled the 26 gal. tank. I had been driving for over an hour, so the blower was hot as hell, and my IAT's were at 185 by the end of the runs. Meth kit was disconnected. etc...

It was a loss, but I'm still smiling.

See, there are more choices. You may not like the consiquences but you do have choices

[91_bowtie]

I guess I do have one more choice. I still haven't filled my bottle yet.

Cost of Hoe ===> $40K
Cost of Blower => Under $7K

Sight of a jaw dropping ==> Priceless

Gotta loose a few to make you upgrade to the next power mod

You can do a 415 with the L92 block.

brilliant. that is what i like to see. a 5000lb+ SUV beating a GT. thats pretty funny you could hear him for so long. it would of been funny if you would have started filling up the hoe, heard the GT from afar, FINISHED filling the hoe up, payed, cleaned the windshield, checked the tire pressure, AND THEN the GT finally passes by and you go after him. but seriously that had to of been one obnoxious exhaust on that thing though

It actually sounded pretty good.

There's not much more I can do to this thing other than a 408.

Ha - good to see someone else spankin' the ponies out there besides me.....if he had sounded that good, wonder if it might have been a Mach1 - but you mentioned 13.5 - don't know what they did back in 03 off the top of my head...Good job!! I'd give you a kill on it either way I mean heck topend almost any car can take us eventually due to weight and lack of aerodynamics, handling etc....
