5.0 vs. Supra I was drivingalong minding my own business when this exotic looking front end fills my rear view mirror. My firstthought was NSX (we have a silver one around here and this car was silver). Then the guy pulls up and I see that it is a late model supra.
After jockeying around to get a straight shot with no traffic we both nail it. My AOD (horrible ford automatic) Is on the way out big time and would not shift out of OD (or do much other in the way of shifting) and slips horribly. Anyways, we both go with me bogged down at 2800rpm or so in OD from around 65ish. I held him = for about 3 seconds or so then he wound it up and began walking.
Race#2 5.0 vs. Supra from a dig.
We both exited the freeway and got to a light, long story short, the light turned green, we both nail it at the same time and I pull him slightly all through my slipping 1st and then my tranny shifts into 2nd,3rd, and pretty soon OD (after 1st gear it falls flat on its face, its coming out at the end of the month and the car is being converted to a 5-speed) After 1st gear he pulled around me.
We both pulled over on a side street, guy seemed like a rich punk, but was pretty cool about stuff, claimed he ran 13.0 (he was automatic btw). A friend of mine says he knows the guy/car and claims it runs 14.8 at the track, I dont know, it pulled better than a 14.8 car imho, but since my tranny is crap I dont know.
SUMMARY 65mph roll vs. Supra=held off supra for 3 seconds in OD then he walked
Dig race...head him through first then tranny took a dump, he walked.
