Default Dumb Mustangs

I friend of mine has a 1991 Mustang 5.slow with a 4 inch cowl hood, long tubes with off road h pipe, mass air flow sensor and pretty much all other bolt ons. About two weeks ago he recieved his weld racing draglite rims and a pair of BFG drag radials on back. He thought he was tough **** and could beat my almighty LS1 powered Camaro. We scheduled to race last sunday night at a place called Jack rabbit road. I didnt want to put my Nittos on because I just didnt want to waste my time. He comes over that night and I asked him how much he wanted to race for and he said nothing. I finally talked him into racing for $5. We raced and I beat him by 3 car lengths on my 245/60/16 street tires. Felt pretty good. Just thought I would share with you guys. Peace.

Your happy you beat an almost stock stang when your car comes from the factory with essentially a stroker.

I have a dumb mustang with a similar sized engine if you wanna try your luck with fox bodies...

It was erics stang. Everybody in JV was telling me I was going to loose when I was really confident that I was going to win. So the post I made earlier was to help me vent too. peace

dude, i could have told you that you would win that race. he would need quite a bit of stuff to get that stang into the 12's. trust me, just put some gas on your car and a good tire, and maybe 3.73's and easy 11's are yours! take it easy

I have a dumb Mustang. I'd run you on street tires too. I'd have to change my sig to "You just got beat by a 27 year old. : ) " though.

I go to cy-falls high school, im a sophmore, do not race on jackrabbit road their are always cops around there. I know how you feel about the mustangs theres a couple people at my school with a 4.6 and loud exhaust and people think they can beat any thing on the road. You got any pics of your car i might have seen it around here.

No big deal. Just be aware that there are tons and tons of crazy fast stangs out there. I know your mid 12 second car may seem fast to you, but it really isn't.

No matter what kind of car you waxed, it was a good kill.

Whoa buddy. I think anyone else would agree that mid 12's is pretty damn fast. So is a stock Corvette Z06 not really fast? They run mid 12's.

I think I am fast (stock), but you would think I was slow, and Aries would think you were shoving your finger up your butt and sniffing it to get high, and a F16 pilot would laugh at us, and and SST astronaut would not even give us a glance. Fast is relative. Reality is made up of perceptions and if we are percieved as slow then we are percieved that way. I think any LS1 FBody is fast including yours, but there is always someone faster, I know it and I am sure you know it as well.

Well said. Fast is a relative term.

LS1 Brent- You're car may seem fast to you because you haven't been exposed to anything else I'm guessing. Nine and ten second cars are slow to me because I'm around 6 and 7 second cars all the time. My car feels really slow to me too. There was a point when I thought my 13.0 @ 107mph car was fast.

My point is just that your "almighty" LS1 isn't as fast as you think it is. I'm not trying to bust your ***** or anything...just some friendly conversation.
