now why can't more encounters go that way? But yeah, for the most part, picking on a mid 90's GT is, well, a little bit unfair

I don't think he was picking on the guy, I think the guy was just asking for it. If i go by and rev up a Viper and he catches me at a light and rips me loose, do i deserve it? I think he just saw him and went for the opportunity. nice kill by the way. Nothing like handing a wise guy his azz.

Nice kill, some people don't really know what an Ls1 can do until it's too late.

Nice first kill. There are many stock GT drivers that just assume their cars are the fastest on the road. I will be honest, before I got my Z28 I thought all F bodies were wimpy cars, I just never bothered to educate myself. I thought Mustang GT's could kill any F body, then I woke up.

I didn't mean to say that he was PICKING on him in the that way......just htat racing a stock or near stock mid 90's GT is automatically picking on them, even if they started it, because it's no contest

Dont worry though guys i am just playing around with ya

I know what both teams on each side of the ball can do. Trust me, the more i am building motors here at HPE, the more i am finding out about stuff. More knowledge then i thought i would ever learn is now being pummeled into my head.

Trust me on this. If i had a 87 notchback stang. I can build a motor for 6500 to 7000 bucks on 93 octane pump gas, and destroy almost every single f-body in the state. but this is price wise. i can do more with a SBC then with an ls1. Until the aftermarket picks up, the ls1 will be behind a well built ford. Mind you, i say out of say a million Mustang owners, 50,000 know how to make them fast


also a Ford small block (5.0) is pretty much an ls1. Chevy took a ton of design and what not from ford, to make their stuff. Also if you switched the intake and exhaust valves (which you cant), you can run ls1/6 heads on a Ford Small block. pretty crazy huh
