I just happened to race a Mustang the other day... Like always I pulled on it, it was stock though but a newer one... Love beating up on those Mustangs, just love it... Brings a smile to my face every time...

I got the red light speech too... Dude, what's under the hood of that car of yours, it hauls ***.. Nitrous my friend, nitrous...

Race something other than stock Mustangs and I assure you, you will not be "pulling on them like always". I wouldn't waste my gas on a Lexus anything though.

Good death to the OP, those EVO's are serious competitors with some cash under the hood.

why in the world was he in 3rd for a 45 roll??? he could have easily been in second...and he also could have been in first for the 30 roll as well...still would have lost but it would've helped a bit.....unless he doesn't have stock gears...

Well, for now I just pull away from stock Mustangs in my car, maybe can edge out a Saleen every now and then too.. However, once I have a boosted LS2 sitting under my hood, I think I will be pulling away from even your Modified Mustang. You won't be wasting your gas my friend, you will be smelling my burnt gas trailing behind me... Maybe I will even down a few bean and cheese burrito's at Taco Bell before race time just to add some flavor to the spent gas you will be smelling...

I grew up on motorcycles, they suck in rain, they suck in cold, you get matted hair after you take off the helmet. Can't really carry much cargo with them. Collision safety is garbage, can't transport more then one passenger, etc.. Shall I continue? Me thinks your giving up just a little more then a radio...

You give up alot when comparing a bike to a car.. Speed no, but everything else yes... Don't get me wrong I still love hammering a good crotch rocket every now and then just for kicks...

Really? What is so special about your Mustang? Your backend is still light as ****, you'll never get the traction to take me unless your Stang is track deticated with drag slicks, major rear dampening, and rear weight transfer!!! ... If you got a ton of horse power then maybe you can catch me on the back end just because your piece is probably lighter then mine. However, you will still be smelling my gas for a brief amount of time never the less.....

It's all good man, maybe your Stang is something special.. In all honestly I really can't talk too much **** because i don't know what your car is all about, and also I don't have a boosted Lex running nitrous too yet either.. You win for now pal..

Like Tony Montana said "now that's what I like, keep it coming baby". "I'm not your baby", "you gotta give me some time"

I checked your profile and can't find anything on your Mustang... I just reviewed you recent posts, and all you do is hype your car and shoot down GM cars and owners, but yet say nothing and I mean nothing about your Mustang and what's under the hood.... Your garage is empty, your profile is not complete.. What are you hiding?

What the hell are you doing? I read the hype but see no substance... Do you even own a Mustang? I can't waste any more time with this. I'm a fair guy but I don't like mystery's or secrets... Don't make me fly the BS banner on your ****...

I've actually got 2 Mustangs. Here is a pic of one with a couple mods in view. Without going into detail its a built/blown/sprayed 4.6L.



Pump gas numbers are 629rwhp on a Mustang dyno through a set of 4.30 gears. I wont publish race gas or nitrous numbers, gotta find that out the hard way I guess. But next month these numbers will be old. I'm gonna throw 10psi more at it and up the nitrous some. lol It does ok for a get around town car. And traction problems are not an issue. I can hook up in 1st gear on the street just fine. But I try not to race people in this car. Its much more fun outrunning them in a cammed/intake 5.0

For people that love riding, it's not "giving up" or "missing" anything.
