We have one we could bring down......

He hasn't been to Hville in several years though, he is starting to get out of it. It is a nitrous car.. Which is rare to see for the times he runs.

Oh I'm def. not cocky. I know i'm not even that good of a driver. I just know it's got a tuner and a bigger turbo. but i'm thinking the dual wheels has to make it not as fast as most diesels putting down fast times with the single wheels.

****, if he built that mustang, I'd be wary of him. He may be hiding mods.

What's this truck look like? I seen a Duramax running low 8's there but that was a couple years ago.

If he has an aftermarket turbo then he should making power similar to the newer tuned diesels, if not more depending on what injectors hes running. What's holding him back is the 2wd, there's a chance he won't be able to come out of the hole hard enough to hold you off. But if for some reason he is dead hooking launching with some boost make sure your on your A Game. Best of luck!

That Mustang ain't no joke, my guess he is talking **** because he knows enough about cars and times to know that he has you covered. Considering what he has in that Mustang, I wouldn't doubt if that Powerstroke won't roll out if he has modded it.

The truck was modded before he got it and I remember him saying its got larger injectors. He's not real sure of the mods but he hasn't changed it since he got it.

Sounds to me like you're just being baited, so he can take your money.

If he's 2wd, get your *** to the track for the driver mod and you'll kill him no matter what he has. You should be very very low 8s in the 1/8, there is no way a 2wd diesel can do that without some freakishly massive rear tires and suspension.

Again, based on his mustang, he's gonna win.
Remember bolt-on hidden mod f-150? It's gonna be the same deal.

This guys main problem is he flat out doesn't respect our LS1s. He thinks of them as just another smallblock Chevy. I know that mustang is late model but he's an old school big block kinda guy and anything less is just baby ****, unless its a diesel

Tell him if he knows his truck will spank your a** to forget about the money, and just get a friendly run in. No shame in losing, especially if the truck has a lot of mods, but then again, you might not lose. Line em up, no money, see who wins, simple as that if you ask me.

So he has a 4 second 1/8 mile car, and you think he hasn't done his homework? How do you come to this conclusion?

As crazy as that sounds, I know him. He don't know squat about modern muscle. He only goes to the track to watch his car run. He is scared to drive it himself.

He put up the money to build it, but he didn't do much of it himself, relying mainly on other peoples advice as what to do next then pay someone to do it. Then pay someone else to race it
