Well i lost but i just couldnt launch at all. We raced a total of 3 times and two times i was just spinning like crazy, after i hooked up i still was having a hard time realling him in. The one race i did hook up i was able to pull him back and pass him but until 3rd gear, he really wasnt much but he did beat me twice, even the one i beat him i didnt hook that good. I really hate loosing because of poor driving skills. These Goodyear Z tires dont seem to grip too good, in the other ls1 i use to have, it was wearing Khumos, and those were a lot better. Dont feel too bad though, the stang had a pretty big cam and some more stuff, my car only has 6k miles and bone stock. The engine probably hasnt been broken in yet. It was funny to see his stang moving side to side at idle and mine didnt even make a whisper and i was still able to take him(once)

Don't be ashamed. Those fox bodies can be made bad *** very easy. However, it sounds like if you were able to hook you would have beaten him all three times. I have the same problem. It's so hard to find that fine line between excessive wheel spin and bogging.

Nice runs. Get the basic bolt ons and you'll take him next time. Oh, yeah, and tires too.

Mod Maniac

Oh, after you get the tires, you'll probably have to get a new rear also.

Traction almost always = worst enemy. Nice runs.

Time for some drag radials. The story woulda been different if you were using them.
Good runs!

Tires make a HUGE difference ... when I first upgraded my F1's to the Firehawks I thought I was in heaven ... had to try pretty hard to spin them, and they handled excellently .... now, unfortunately, I have alittle more power and the Firehawks spin just as easily as the old F1's did. Time for some Nitto 555R's.

yep you need some DR's and then you will be good to go. Nice runs, and like what was stated earlier, a properly made fox can be a quick as car!

I beat a cammed 1988 5.0 mustang he had hoosies drag slicks, headers, flowmaster duals and a trick & flow intake also its a tremec 5 speed. Its sounds loud as hell by the way it sounded I thought he was going to blow my doors off. The only mods I have are in my sig my Nitto Drs help a **** load. I heated the hell out of them then ran him. I took him off the line and all the way I had a car length on him when I hit 120 mph I had a car and a half on him. Yeah I would say get some Drag Radials and a few bolt ons and you should take him good luck in the future with your mods.
