My car vs 5.0's
So my car is in my sig. But i raced two 5.0's tonight very disappointing. The first one he comes up and says wanna race? i ask what it is he says stock 5.0??? Its like 88 to 91 5speedi say no than he says its got a cam.So ok lets go.Come to find out it has quite a bit of work 5 lug conv. trick flow trck heat intake cam headers and full exhaust with some other mods too. Anyways so we go i spin all the way thru first we are about even and than i shift and start to pull and go for third and the clutch stuck and couldnt get it.Embarassing.Oh yeah first time actually running car with the gear set up.So i lose by like car and half. Next one is same setup basically but sounds way better and meaner and its on m/t drags and he sprays his tires with vht lol !!He had some suspension work too bcause i could see the tubular lca's or trac bars and it was on weld drag lites 5 lug conv. So this time i dont spin as bad and im up and goto shift and cant get it again so **** im pissed and lost again by like a car better race though....So i need the drill mod or whatever it takes to fix this EMBARASSING PROBLEM. Man not once but twice and not by one but by two!!!**** im pissed.Well it was all learning launch all that. But had fun as always. Good night guys

I used to have that.. you try to bang into 2nd or 3rd and it just isn't there. Annoying as hell. You should've asked to run again. If a guy asked me to run and he had an excuse.. legit or not.. I'd give him the rematch.

Fox bodies still get it done. I should have never sold mine. I raced a H/C/I he would jump a car to a car and a half then I would reel him in...well until a car would come up in my lane. Damn two lane roads....
I want to run him again when I get a stall
Nice death. Keep us updated

Considering I ran my buddys 90 with a gt40 long block, paxton at 6 lbs, 75 shot on slicks and only beat me by a half car when I was on street tires and crappy tune....yah there slow.

Of course their will be more slow foxes. They were slow as hell in stock form.
AND... their a great platform. Light, good suspension their a great car to build. Thats why you see so many with motor swaps.
402 ls fox anyone?
