Default First Meaningful Kill!

My buddy has a 88 5.0 w/ Pulleys Headers ORH and Cat Back, CAI, 4.10s. And mine of course. Stock besides a welded in flowmaster and the TB bypass. We finally hit a light together, and suffice to say I toasted him. Right off the light, he dissappeared from my passenger window....never to return. haha. Just had to share. Cant wait to do some mods and really start hunting.

Good deal. The fastest Ford mine got was a 03 Cobra, with some stuff in it. That guy was pissed, got him as the light turned green, and I just pulled away. Can't wait to lighten mine up a little, and put the LT's with True Duals on it.

He was probably a GT then with Cobra Tags and rims, my Z took him no problem. I didn't hear the Supercharger, then again I was ahead of him the whole time.

Prob was a Cobra then. He pulled off on a side street after it was over, went to cry.. lol
I like that quote. I am taking my Side Badges off when I get my Paint job and leaving the back one on. It is kinda hard to see in the black back piece. It will throw some suprise factor, but you will have to be deaf to not know that it's a V8.

Yea my buddy is pissed now. And now the next Buddy thats in line is a 99 GT with Roush CAI, And 3.73s. I like to think I will make short work of him, though I have ridden in his rig and it feels freakishly quick for being so simple. Maybe just decieving. We'll see.

My car is kinda loud, and I was kinda in it.. And I took him off the line and pulled away from him. I was ahead of him the whole time. I know what they sound like, but I didn't hear it over mine.
