I just got "called out" . . .
So, I was getting some new tires for my g/f last friday and while I was waiting inside, some guy pulled up in his 97'sh Mustang GT. I happend to glance over and saw that he was running M/T E/T Streets.
Anyways, the guy walks in and the representative of the tire company said, "Do you actually need those tires?" and of course the mustang owner said, "Yah, I have a cam and no mufflers!" I just kinda looked at the guy, then the car, then the guy again and went back to my business.
Next thing you know, the salesman said, "Well can you beat his car", and points to my WS6. I'm now in full attention going.. "Uhm.. what's going on?"
So the mustang owner is in defense mode and says, "I've raced on of those cars, the SS and I had so much power I just burned out and couldn't grip... but now I have E/T's on it, so it won't be a problem. I'm going out to the drag strip next weekend"
Well ****, low and behold I am too! I have to test my freshly installed NX 150 Shot system. AND right before I leave he says, "If you have have any guts, I'll see you at the track and I'll call you out."
I hope MY E/T Streets arrive before this weekend. I have a 'stang to hump into submission.

By the sounds of it, the guy is clueless. Run him and beat him by buslengths........then spray him and beat him by 10 buslengths!!
Or the guy was just acting like an idiot and really does have a fast stang.

The 96-98 Mustang GT's are a joke. To say that they are slow is an understatement. I love when the ford camp says that they have potential, cause they really don't. The 99+ GT's have some potential, but the 96-98's came with only 215-225hp, depending on year. A stock LS1 will murder a well modified one pretty badly (Some of them have been tested to run mid 15 sec. 1/4 mile times).
I'd race him without the nitrous the first time, and then with it the next time. Hope you get tires though, cause good luck launching it with a 150 shot.
