Default '02 Z28 vs 2011 Mustang 5.0 **Vid**

I got another crack at a new 5.0. This time the guy actually gave me a race.
I have 4.10s and no cats with Pep Boys Cherry Bombs

<excuses on>
Story on my car.
My car is an ex-turbo car with four bad cylinders. My motor will clank on the top-end from time to time. I have to shut it down and wait, then the noise goes away. It burns oil like a James Bond smoke screen when I get on it. Not the mighty LS1 it once was.

Please keep this in mind while watching the video.
</excuses off>

First.

Good run though! He was edging you out, but you weren't too far behind. Nothing some LT's and a tune wouldn't fix. I'd like to see that car at full potential rather than running on a beat up previously boosted motor

LOL - Sorry, not my choice. I had to take what I could get. I'd rather go lower. With the 4.10s, the jump from fourth to fifth takes the wind out of my sails. With the 3.42s, I could have kept it in fourth with a better result.

I don't know I guess it's just me, but it didn't even seem like you guys were racing.

I was going to mention that also about your 4.10 gears and running from that speed... Should have coaxed him into a slower roll..it would have been real interesting!
4.10s are really not for that kind of race..

Way to hang with a much newer car considering your engine is a bit tired. A top end refresh with a mild cam and you would've gotten him for sure

Exactly.
You're right genius! We staged the entire thing on the freeway. See that Honda we passed? We told him to go 25 so we looked like we were going 100.

In on 4th to say that. Sorry man, but I gotta tell you that that wasn't a race. Not a legit race at least.

What is a legit street race? We were in the triple digits. It does not matter to me that there are naysayers. I'm very happy with my car after nine years of service and three turbo systems, it is still fast enough to give a good race to the newer performance cars.

i'm old school bro. i know most engines run their strongest right before they go so maybe your car is actually at it's fastest right now
