Default another 5.0 kill..

Last night my friend calls me up and tells me that some local guys have a badass 5.0 with heads and cam and they want to run me. I said ok, I have raced almost every mustang around here locally. Well i met my friend in his WS6 and we went to the place of action. 1st race we line up, launch and I hook decently. I can only launch from an idle, even though i have the capability of stalling 3000. I hit the spray after the pedals to the floor about 30feet down the road. By the time i hit 3rd i look in my rearview mirror and i can barelly see his lights. I was kinda pissed off cause it took us like 4 times of heating the tires up then going into the grass before we could actually race, because of minor traffic. So eventually we line up again and run after a really quick burnout. We took off. I spun really bad. pedaling it hopeing the tires would grab. i could see he got about about a 1 car jump on me. So as soon as the tires grabbed i pedalled it into the floorboard and hit the button. I pulled up on him just not as fast as i thought. I had a fendor on hit then a door. at about the 1/4 i only had about 3/4 car length. I put my flashers on and came back. The guy said next time im gonna put my drag radials on. I daid yeah ME TOO, and i laughed. So in the end i drove home victor.

My car has LTs, ypipe, lid, hptuner, 3000stall, 75shot, 3.42s

His car Carbed 302 ho, 5 speed, Heads Cam combo?? It sounded BadASS. 125shot???100shot???HE did have spray No BS. HE was heating the bottle up as i drove up. Gears??? 3.5s up front. wide 1s in the rear.

another nice night out.

What heads he has matters the most. GT40P's like I had wont do much, AFR 165's will. Good kill on what sounds like a 5.0 with some $$ under the hood.

I was already PO'd at the guy for not knowing how to drive his after he calls me out. plus its only 2 fbodys and like 5 mustangs. Those other guys are cocky bastards too. My friend said that when we took off 1 of the mustang guys shouted because i was behind, "Its all about the Ford". I just so happen to hit the flashers and my friend shouted "yeah thats what i thought its a Chevy". Its a big battle here. Chevy vs. Ford

I think I could push a GT40P headed car to a 14 second pass.
