Good runs! Glad to see you had some fun with a newer car

 

Sounds and looks like a lot of fun.

 

good runs.. I'd say it's pretty even between the two.. but a quick question.. if your keeping it to have it as a collector's car.. why mod it? that will take away from the value won't it? if it is a orginial collector car?

 

If he has all the stock parts he can always put them back in. I know I never would, but its not impossible

 

I got all my stock parts still: got my entire exhaust assembled and hanging from my garage roof by bicycle hooks actually! Gonna stick the stock airbox up there, too: and my skid plate, tow brackets, and misc. other brackets that I've removed for weight savings. Heads, cam, and torque converter will be up on the ceiling soon. Someday I might just have an entire engine and trans hooked to that exhaust- Good thing I have a tall ceiling!

 

nice kill and you had a pasenger

 

it was painful to see how slow you actually hit it after you did the 3rd honk. i agree with everyone else, with equal drivers the race would be close.

 

Great cars and good races. Agreed that some practice and/or faster shifting is at hand, but I understand people wanting to take it easy on their transmissions. They're not cheap to fix but in my opinion, you've gotta be willing to take that risk if you wanna modify a car and race it! Otherwise it's hard to tell what the true potential of each really is, such as in these videos.

 

That mustang was kind of a fruity blue. Classic stang and f body rivalry, got to love it!

 

Nice races. Looks like a good time.

and the comment about sycros being cheap... Yup there cheap. You going to put it in for him?

 

work block the vids.. I will have to wait till I get home

 

Ahhhh shiit don't get him started

We had a t/a vs. stang debate that got locked....

 

hahaha!! What a joke!! You don't want to mess up your car but you are street racing it? Just admit it. You suck at driving!!

 

You won't get any sympathy from me on the whole collector car thing. If I had the rarest car in the world I would mod it up and race the crap out of it (actually I would immediately dump it for a bunch of cash, but the point is that collector status means very little to me).

If that is your reason for shifting so slow then I wouldn't go out racing your collector car. Great looking Firehawk, btw!

 

Interesting comments, wasn't aware that good driving was defined by "power shifting" and "double clutching"... Your probably right, nothing possibly could go wrong shifting at 6800RPMs on a stock clutch right?

 

Such great amounts of GRABBER BLUE hate.

 

You have an over .600 lift cam, rev it to 6,800rpms, and don't make 400rwhp? Damn.

 

Can you program a DVR? Then you can put in synchros. Unless you prefer to always pay someone $85 an hour to do your mods/fixes?
It's called a real dyno stopsign: not one of those bullshit happy dyno's that so many guys seek out.

 

What makes the Dynojet he uses any different than another Dynojet?

 

So we're modding our "collector firehawk" and going WOT but we don't shift fast cuz we might break something.......interesting!
