Default Mustang II strikes back...


Both 40 rolls, gave him a good head start the second race. 2000 TA manual, lid, long tubes, exhaust, dyno tune. I asked him if it needed any maintenance and he said it's good to go.

I took my untuned camaro with full bolt ons (no fast parts though, and no tune) and killed many 5.0

Lost to all the super charged ones.

CoUld not touch the lsx stuff. I felt slow

What's done to mustang II?

Not impossible. These cars are getting old and poorly modded. Could be slower than stock.

Nice kill Mustang II!

It's really not all that surprising considering you probably have close to 100 rwhp more over the T/A. Nice job

Where are all these fast bolt on LS1 cars that you've had anything to do with?

I know where Hammer's is.

Actually you should consider yourself lucky behind your keyboard there that nobody with a coyote powered vehicle that has been hole sawed down to your weight finds you.

Poor driver, improper setup, and needs maintenance.

Good kill, OP!

He could, but I'm sure it is easier said than done to cut up a new 2015 vehicle than it is an old 99 fbomb

Still stuck in the 90's I see.

I'm sure there are plenty of Ford guys who could have swapped their motors to go faster like Doug did as well.

Good runs! You're car does run strong.
Based on both cars specifications, the pull up top makes sense.
It definitely seems as though the 15 5.0s respond very well to even a small amount of modifications. It should be interesting to see what full bolt-ons will do.
