Wow, that guy really never has anything nice to say does he. Has to be one of the most arrogant and ignorant mustang owners I've ever seen. I guess in his mind if it's not a mustang it's not fast. Even after you show him a video of you taking one. Must be a lot of hot air in that big head of his!

No, I just know it wouldn't have mattered if him or Jesus was driving that car. It still woulda got curb stomped. His modded gxp would hardly be a good run for me now. They would give a n/a 2v hell tho!

I don't know about that stoppy. He et's with you and out mph's you. No doubt he can't 60' with you. In a good street race it would be close.

Unless he runs faster than 12.5, he would be reading MUSTANG.

Have you been back to the track? From the looks of things he has about 5mph on you with no doubt a weak launch on his part. Would you really want to be getting reeled in by a fwd 4dr family car? Your trying to split hairs argueing about .1or.2 either way w/o being on the same track same day.

We are talking about the track...why do you still insist on barking about MPH?

We are in the STREET racing section. YOU posted a street race. Something tells me you would not have caught Davidsgxp. Mph matters in racing.....alot in street racing. If you lose your hook he's gone and you aint catching him.

I just pointed out your et's are similar and his mph is better. Et's are well within reason for 2 different tracks on 2 different days to call it a race. But unless he was in -5000da then his mph is quite a bit better.

So have you been back to the track? If so how did you do?

Yes if my car stayed the way it was then it would be a good race. However it hasn't. And his MPH is quite a bit different, but we know what happens when higher MPH cars run me. The outcome doesn't exactly make "Hiho sense" after the gears went in.

bolt on LS1 with no passenger

bolt on/geared 3v

Both MPH more than I did. I've tried to run a 03 Cobra, bolt on 5th gen, cammed 3v...they all backed out.

Have the tracks been open where you live?

Mason dixon opened last weekend. I went with a friend who just did h/c on a sn95 vert. I figured they would be open down your way.

I guess you just haven't ran into a Hio-ized car

The local hicktown 1/8 opened tonight actually, but I do not run there. 1/4 tracks open in April.


I'm just pointing out that your higher MPH > lower MPH doesn't always work out. Oh and pointing out more that those runs were not "my" races.
