Default 07 saleen/01 Ms4 z28

The saleen had an exhaust. Not sure what else. 1st run from 40 I had 3 to 4 cars by 100. Same result next two times. Kid wanted more but not sure why. 50 thousand dollar ford killed by 13k ls1

Second race was a little different. 01 ls1 with Ms4 cam. Claimed 3.42 gears but he shifted from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 before i went from 2 to 3rd Im thinking 4.10s My buddies were following and said black smoke was coming out his exhaust and when he shifted there was flames coming out his pipes??? what could that mean??? juice maybe?? Anyways 3 runs he pulled good on me all three but i figured that would happen considering I have a 228r and he had the ms4 oh yea he had mt drs too. From 40 he hooked in first gear He didnt pull as much as I thought he would from 40 to 120 he had 2 to 3 cars on me by 120 all three times. I have stock tb, ls1 intake, stock fuel system 10 bolt with 3.42s. Mods in sig. Not bad considering.

IF he was spraying the margin would've been a lot more. Sounds like he was running rich. Just my opinion.

Are we talking about the new mustang gt's that have the saleen logo on them instead of the GT? they have a full body kit and are mean sounding?

Yeah, I imagine that'd be what a $50k '07 Saleen would be...

Sounds like the MS4 car was running rich. He should have pulled you more than 1 or 2 cars, expecially up top....He probably doesnt have that good of a tune.....

^Yep. Once you start messing with injectors and dont have a good tune its easy to get smoke out the tailpipe and flames.

Pretty solid performance overall though.
