Default Brothers 87 Mustang GT against my 99 Z28

Well I went over to my brothers house tonight since he just installed some 4:10 gears and wanted to see how well he can do against me.
I honestly was very shocked at what his car can do now on an old 140,000 mile motor. Funny that now it makes me want to start adding **** to my motor because I cant have my brother beating me...lol

He picked up his GT for $1300 and all it had was UD pulleys, short throw shifter and MT streets, it needs a paint job but I say he got a pretty good deal.
He has added a few things like: MSD billet dist, MSD wires, P&P'd TB, K&N cai, Ford motorsport shorties, Mac catted H pipe and mufflers, 4:10 gears and is now running Conti extreme 245's instead of the MT streets.

I am still all stock except for SLP lid and Flowmaster muffler (yes I know).

I am not going to sit here and make excuses and his car is coming along great but he better watch out when I finish my Cobra or get a cam/intake/headers/stall for my Z28 .

In the video I was just about to start pulling on him until I seen a parked car in front of me and there was not enough room to get around, I will have more videos up soon showing him kicking my *** again...or maybe not

Thats what a set of drag radials and 4.10 gears will do for you.

Yea I read on here what a set of 3:73 gears can do for my A4 so I was thinking of that but a stall would probably be a better bet for me.
His 4:10's are killer with his 5 speed thats for sure.

A good stall is the single best mod you can do for an A4.. period.

Yea I have been doing alot of research and reading and so far this is what I hear.
I plan on putting together a realistic list of parts and get everything at once so I can get it all tuned together.

Looks like a lot of fun. Racing brothers (and dad) is what it's all about in my. Looks like you started pulling on him pretty well, as is expected with the two cars/setups, but he hooked like crazy on the street! Find a place with more room or at the track and you'll take him in a longer run!

Start modding!!!

We will hopefully try this again at Bandimere soon if I cant find a safe road to get up to speed on.
I already talked to him about a 30 roll and he thought it would be interesting but last night was all in fun and we were both shocked what his can do now.

Next time I am going to have his gf film the race from his car when I find a long stretch of abandoned road, I want to hear what my car sounds like when I blow past him...lol

Not from a roll unless they have some heavy engine mods

Dig racing they are deadly though...
