Well, we ran them, both cars in 3rd at 50. the first race, he did a ricer flyby, lol. Put about 4 cars on me before I halted his pull. The second race he said he didnt hear my honking...(the 5.0 IS loud inside). He said I put 1.5 cars on him before he floored it. I ended up at 110ish with about 5 cars on him. He said if we had nailed it AT THE SAME TIME! I would have had about 2.5 cars on him by 100 (from 50).

Had I been in 2nd the victory would have been by a larger margin im sure b/c at 50 in 3rd the WS6 was only turning 3K.

 

That's gay..put the cars in the proper powerbands..

 

****, i was expecting alot more...

 

3rd gear at 50mph..

 

I was trying to give the old man a chance

I put it in 2nd at 50 on the way home and floored it HOooooly crap...low-trac light. Yeah, It would have been UGLY had I been in 2nd. However, I proved the point and I am happy w/it.

 

The 5.0 was at 4K, about 500rpm above peak tq. My WS6 was about 1000rpm BELOW its peak tq. I was giving advantage to the 5.0 and I guess its fair b/c I jumped him he says (I did, he couldnt hear the horn apparently). So I guess the gear selection made up for the jump. Either way the WS6>5.0

 

without videos.

 

I was about to say, blip the throttle to about 5k and match 2nd gear @ 50mph, then let her rip. Yes, it would have been ALOT uglier. You sir, were too nice, .

 

Congrats on beating a 14 second car

 

2nd @ 40mph FTW. Or 1st from a dig or at least like a 25mph roll.

 

I've said it b4 and I'll say it again, I LOVE 1st gear @ 50mph

Next time stick it in 2nd and walk that pile. Good kill

 

It was his car that he beat. His 'Bird and 5 Oh are both his.

 

And that thing doesn't run fourteens.

 

ive owned lots of 5.0 stangs.with his mods on sticky tires id say more like low 13s high 12s.my brother in law ran 14.3@97 in a 88gt with only a gear and exhaust.

 

Nice kill on your own car!!

2nd gear and you would of really destroyed him. But you were giving your dad a chance to hang.....so thats cool.

You sure you want to get rid of the WS6?

 

My 5.0 is a fluke, lol. It ran a best of 14.4 It traps around 98.54.

HOWEVER! I ran side-by side with a SRT10 single-cab from 75-105.
I beat an auto GT by 1 to 1.5 cars each time from 70 to the top of 4th (05+ GT) and I gave it the hit each time.
I also lost by about 2.5 cars to a stock lightning but by 6K I had stopped his pull, just poor gear selection. I woulda lost by maybe 1 car or so had I gone 1 gear lower.

My 5.0 is okay from a roll.

Yes, its **** weak for its mods. I have no idea why. I still bet its mid 13's on slicks. my 14.4 was on a 2.15 60' with my vacuum carb that bogged.

 

Changed your username?

Edit: Just read sig lol.

 

Nice kill on your own car!
