Raced a cop last night
For his own good, i wont post his name or color of his car, but i will tell you it was a Mustang GT on nitrous. He came up next to me on the highway, and my passenger told me it was an off-duty cop. I said screw it, and three honked it. We did a 60 roll and he only got me by about 1 1/2 cars. Not bad for what is supposed to be a bolt-on GT with a 150+ shot of juice.

Do you mean you were already rolling at 60 mph? If so you should have double-clutched it into 2nd gear; any higher gears than that and you would be leaving half your power on the table (assuming you have the stock 3.42 rear end ratio.) 2nd gear @ 60 mph with 3.42's = 4769 rpm.

We were driving home on I-10 from SAR when this happened. I was right behind them, pacing a black Mustang who seemed to be with the cop. I didn't take part, just observed. Had I known he was a cop, I would have opened my bottle and blew his doors off.
Bullitt: shut up. You weren't even at the track. First part about having anyone take anything you say seriously is to show up. Venkman and I will most likely be at the next Wednesday event and you are welcome to come out and show us what you've got.

357rwhp/369rwtq
(G-Tech) 13.2 @ 114
Shouldnt you be a bit faster with that kind of rear wheel hp? Not trying to be a dick it just seems a bit slow for those kind of numbers

Re: Raced a cop last night
not double clutching like you should
"Your lucky that (Sumthin) shot of NOS didnt blow the welds on the intake"
"Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rins that you fried"
ALSO Ja Rule "Edwin happens to know a few things, Its not how you stand by your car its how you race your car"-------WTF?
