Default Humbled by a stock looking foxbody

ON the way to Charlotte this morning, a stock looking gray foxbody pulls up to me and does a quick pull. I matched his speed and took off with him, from 65 to 110 he put 2 cars on me. He got back beside me gave me a thumbs up as I did him, humbled by the asskicking I got. I'll never misjudge a stock looking car again.

Hey HOSS, what have you gotten done to the car? I know that you haven't started modding it too heavily.

don't underestimate 5.0's. my buddy has a grey 87 lx notchback. it's the most simple looking car, with no mustang or 5.0 badging on it. it almost looks like one of those dodge aries (k-car) if you've ever seen one. with intake and a catted x pipe he went 13.8 on street tires. enough to surprise some LT1's. and when his cam and heads go on next month he'll have a car that will back up all his **** talking. luckily i'm around to remind him that it's still just a ford
