Default Spanked another Stank.

A mustang I was looking to run for a few months changed hands a week or so ago. The new owner happened to stop at my neighbors house as I got home from driving the HD. Long story short we set up to race around the corner from the house. We set up and had a friend supposed to be taping. Well he is a idiot and gave use a light flash to go and didn't have the camera running.

The guy in the mustang went on the first of three flashes so he got out ahead 1.5 lengths. I reeled him in before the 1/8th and got him by 2-3 lengths by the 1/4. We ran back the other way with a better start and I took him by 3 plus lengths by the 1/8 and who knows how many by the 1/4. I am pissed my friend didn't video it but maybe next time we won't set it up in 5 minutes and have a better plan. And someone who can run the camera.

It as a90 something 5.0 LX.

tune, 2800 stall, cai, mt streets, short bed, 4 link, and 240,000 mi.


We went to the local street races since got the fever and I an a early 2000 mustang and beat him by 2-3 lengths, ran an 05 6.0 Powerstroke that jumped me 1.5 truck lengths and wile I gained a fender took most of the lead to the stripe. Then 5-0 rolled around so next week going to look for some more stanks especially.

Got an eye on a few but going to need the bottle to make sure i pass the stripe first.

Since its an 8 lug and he calls it the HD I'll assume its a 6.0 LQ4/LQ9.

I have a bottle but don't have cold plugs in nor the was the bottle filled or with me.
My truck ran 14.2 last year as a long bed and now with over 300 lbs off from making it a sort bed it should be 14.0 flat or high 13s. On the bottle it runs 13.4 again as a long bed. I expect to run high 12s on the 100 shot and if I am a tenth or two short then upping the shot to 125 will get me a 12.99 ore better.

The older Stank was a 5.0 and the newer one was 4.6.

Also it is an LQ4

The whole "stank" thing sounds silly and moronic.
Just saying...

Nice kills.

Well i really don't like Mustangs all that much. They can be quick but many of them are rather slow. The name stank comes from the nickname given to my co-workers 90 GT that I beat. Check my avatar and you will see evidence.

Any how I like beating mustangs the most and so far have 4 under my belt. Including a roush stage three. It was at the track and he spun bad as hell but at the time I was running mid 14s and beat him by allot. He was so pissed he never ran the rest of that night. The other three were legit wins like I have explained.

I don't think anyone took it as serious as you're taking their comments...
I said it sounded silly and moronic (which it does); clearly the pinnacle of seriousness.
"what the hell is the world coming to"
Calm down killer.

I was kinda embarrassed by a guy in a LS1 Z28. He was doing ridiculous john force style burnout and just acting like a mustang owner in general.

I thought mustank was rather amusing my self. I am sure I am not the first to use it but I did come up with it on my own. I was very disapointed because I was planning on going out to the races again last night but wasn't able to make it out.

Well next week I plan to get the colder plugs installed and fill the bottle and gun for some faster apponets. Shoot for mild stanks off the bottle and somewhat respectable Mustangs with the spray! There is a 383 stroker 90 something blazer that lots of people seem to gun for and many asked me if I had ran him yet. So with the bottle I might just have to shoot for the stroker.

I... don't understand the first sentence at all; and my name is discerning.

Talking smack about other cars always seemed weak to me. I've always let my car do the talking.
I'm sure you know there are A LOT of mustangs out there that would downright destroy your car, so it's kind of stupid to try and downplay them. Plus, I like most any decent car, so I'm not about to talk down a car that I actually like.

Thanks for fighting for our country.

I'm not Robbin Hood. That guy is a punk. He still owes me money for investing in starting his redistribution company.
BTW, Robin Hood owns a Land Rover; so much for giving to the poor.
