Default Suffered First Defeat

Yeah, I suppose it was only a matter of time. Coming home today from Chipotle and about to turn onto a main road when a white, late 80s Mustang goes by and throws me a rev. I pull out and give chase, thing doesn't look all that good and has a temp tag on the back of it...so I'm thinking "time to show this dude that he bought the wrong car." Yeah, well traffic clears up ahead and I pass him, waiting the whole time to hear him hit it, finally after a few seconds I hear him take off a few lengths behind me. I hit second at about 50mph and wait for him to get further and further back.....only....wait.....NOOOOOOOO!!! He is not dropping back....he is gaining on me!! And what's that whine I hear??!! I hit third and he PASSES ME!!! NOOOOOO!!!! By about 85mph he is about 3 lenghts ahead of me and pulling away. I shut it down at that point and meet him at the next light. He just got the car and told me that its a bored out 307 with a 14psi supercharger on it. He said that the guy who sold it to him ran barely into the high 11s. I complimented him on the car and blah blah blah, the light changes and that's that. Maybe it was just my gigantic chicken burrito that weighed me down.....I need to go and smoke somebody now

Nice death, I don't think it was the giant chicken burritto that was slowing you down, however. Btw, do what Hoss said and put your stock exhaust back on, it flows far better then the "flowmaster" does.

Yeah, patched and primered fox bodies run 10's. That's a given.

Beware the 3"+ cowl hood that's a different color than the rest of the car.

Patches, dents, primer on fox bodies are almost as potenet as "Greddy", "VTEC", and "NOS" stickers on ricer mobiles!!

No disrespect to the Mustang clan. Not comparing them to the pathetic "ricer" population. Just trying to make a silly joke.

Yea the primered ones are the fastest.Or the ones that LOOk bone stock .

We all have to have a death sooner or later because there is always someone out there faster .
