Got OWNED by a GRENADA!! 
I lost but im still laughin my *** off. I was headin home in my TA last night when i saw car riding my ***, so i continued on my normal speed. Then this ugly *** **** green car pulls up next to me goin bout 55 mph. My first thought was WTF, another stupid redneck, **** sounded like a log truck 
Then jumps at me i was like ok lets go.......my car downshifted hard and we were off, then all i say was taillights fading away 
I stopped the guy up at the gas station and come to find out he has a 427 small block ford with canfield heads, and monster cam.......this car was the biggest sleeper i have ever run up on. He said he never ran it at the track but the engine dynoed at like 630 hp. Im talkin rust everywhere, faded paint, and black steel wheels like the kind that need hub caps 
oh and for some guys that dont know what a grenada is, its a fox body basicly identical chassis and parts changeover for the fox body mustangs.

Yeah, kind of a weird dight though to see a foxbody beat a 4th gen TA, or even any TA for that matter. Still with a 427 under the hood pushing that much HP, still respectable

They are ugly, for sure.
Dude down the street's building a 1980 ford futura with a nice little 351m in it.
If he ever get's it done it will be one hot little number. But the guy is a nutcase perfectionist and I sometime's wonder if that car will ever see daylight.

Thats funny but this is even more hilarious:
A few years ago I ran into a 1976 Ford F-150 with a CAMPER that was owning everyone. Thing even had big mudgrip tires on the rear. This truck would run AT LEAST mid 11s and we couldnt find any evidence of nitrous. It was however a big block Ford and Im not sure how much money he had in the engine. He won quite a bit of money street racing the thing with unsuspecting F-bods and Mustangs.

630hp = an honerable death. There's a guy down the street from me who I've seen working on a mid-late 80's Crown Vic just about everyday last summer. I don't know what he's doing to it, but it has some seriously wide rubber.
