This isn't really much of a story . . .
Well I was on my way home from work tonight and all of the sudden I see 2 Ford pickup trucks along with a BRAND new mustang GT that read MAROKILL on the tag. Well . . . I passed both his buddies in pickup trucks and presume to laugh at this guy with his tag ID. He ends up flicking me off and just at that moment the song changed to Disturbed - Guarded and I just kicked in Adrenaline Rush mode, lol. So I yelled "Bring that POONTANG!' and he sounded his 3 horn beeps and I absolutely left that damn thing about 4 car lengths behind.
At the next stop light we are both in front and he yells to me "How about 1 more time?" I shrugged and said "ok". Light turned green and I believe he had some aftermarket gearing upgrade b/c that thing leaped at the start, but as soon as I hit in the 2nd gear he was toasted again. We get to the next red light and I had a Fairway Ford flyer in my car I got from a friend for a free car wash, so I tossed it through his window in the car and said " Obviously you need this more than I do!" and turned towards my home.

I swear to god those new mustangs can get off the line but after the launch, thats about it! I chuckled to myself the rest of the 5minute drive "Marokill", lol, yeah right. Next mods, camshaft from thunderracing and TSP ported and polished cylinder heads.

Nice kill, way to put him in his place. I'm sure he can beat some camaro's...maybe some old 3rd gens.

Hey, don't hate on the 3rd gens.

gyrene2003

hes not hatin, just statin facts. when i had my 86 and it was stock i raced a fuggin excursion at a light and we were dead even until i hit 3rd gear, rather humiliating.

how do you know he had cams? a cammed GT with boltons and the right setup should have beat you....but good kill

Nice Kill!

I bet his friends gave him a **** after that one.

I wasn't, as stated before, just stating facts. I would hope ford could take out some old technology. There's nothing wrong with 3rd gens, just a bit lacking on the horsepower side of things.

Either the idiot had a spark plug wire pulled off or he had an aggressive camshaft. He had the camshaft. 1) Even if he was NOT mechanically inclined he more than likely wouldn't go race another sportscar for in fear that his newly acquired OVERPRICED garbage would be soon to blow a motor or extremely damage a car. When people don't know much about a vehicle, they tend to panic alot when a small change happens in the vehicle. 2) Plus, it was slightly faster than a stock GT I have raced before. 3) And last, you must have not of driven a new mustang, even with a cam those things are driving like garbage. I drove my buddy's Shelby GT500 and I swear a slightly worked over LS1 with gears wouldn't have too much trouble with it.

No love for the L98 : (

bolt on GT500's will run mid-low 11's on the stock blower no problem, it would take more than a "slightly" worked over LS1 to beat a bolt on GT500, and if the GT had cams he didnt have an agressive camshaft he had aggressive camshaftS, they are SOHC motors meaning they have 2 cams or a single cam over each head....maybe he was untuned, or a bad driver, or maybe couldnt get traction, but a bolton '05-up GT w/ cams would be a solid mid 12 sec car with traction

Irunelevens

Yeah... my car with mild cams and longtubes with be 300rwhp or so, and an S197 breathes way better than my shittay 2v.

2000Z28AUG

This car didn't have longtubes by judging from the sound. But I have pretty good reasoning a cam'd Mustang GT will not beat a bolt-on (profile) Z28. The camshaft was a mild to mid aggressive to answer the question. With boltons my buddy told me that the car has been seen at the local track and runs about 13.3 - 13.1 depending upon the driver. It may hit 12.9 or so but he still got beat when it mattered the most.

Good kill. Whatever he had under the hood he should have reconsidered his "marokill" plate. What a toolbag.

2000Z28AUG

And just to clarify to everyone . . . I DO NOT HATE MUSTANGS!

I appreciate all the wrench time, in ANY car, someone has put in to achieve their times in the 1/4 mile.

Moral of the story : Don't start crap (Mustang plate w/MAROKILL or Camaro plate with GT2KILL) unless you're always going to be ready to back it up.

He had his *** handed to him. End of story. Probably with different driver may have been different outcome.

Once again NO HATRED towards anybody!

Dude you talk like a total tit.

You won't ever get OHC with an agressive camshaft, but with camshafts.

Plus if it was a bolt on cammed s197 he would have been making enough power to really offer up a decent race to a full bolt on LS1 or simply beat you.

As for the GT500 comment - retard!!!

wow, i know the GT500s are really heavy, but i do not think you could back up that comment with any sort of proof unless it was a completely stripped down ls1 that was more than "slightly" worked over and the GT500 didn't even have a tune. maybe in a perfect world, hahaha

stop wasting time saying the mustang had a chance, because he didn't. most people can't drive their gt500's and the majority run high 12s. as for the gt, a cam might put him at a stock ls1 time

With boltons my buddy told me that the car has been seen at the local track and runs about 13.3 - 13.1 depending upon the driver. It may hit 12.9 or so but he still got beat when it mattered the most.[/QUOTE]

an s197 only needs exhaust intake and tuner to hit those times on street tires.

So why did he bother only changing out one of the camshafts?

BTW I think this story is BS

2000Z28AUG

sorry to not state the camshaftS in plural. It was a mistake. If you want to argue the mustang's speed then go for it. I said it sounded like it had cam(S) in it. Not 100% sure. Is a weight reduction considered a mod, more less likely NO also a 3600 or 4000 stall converter easily makes the car in 11 sec. range with 3.73 gearing, yet no motor work, so before you try to criticize somebody get your facts straight b/c I said little motor work.

Stopsign, plz dude, you're just pissed off that your mustang can hardly hang with rice rockets on a naturally aspirated motor.
