Default My first KILL!!!

I had my first kill tonight. It was a 98 GT Mustang with exhaust, Headers, 4:10 gears, and some other little goodies. We raced on the parkway. We were pretty close through 1st(I spun preety bad) Then I pulled 2-3 cars in second and 5-6 cars in third. After second gear the mustang really fell back. Just thought I would post my first kill.

thanks
Chris

It sucks for the GT's, they put all that money into their car and we put half of what they put and we still kill'em!!! Nice kill!

I tend to agree about the 4.6 SN95s, but the 5.0s take to mods much better than the 4.6s, and are generally faster. Nothing compared to an LS1, though. My friend has a 98 GT, it's a nice riding car, sounds nice as hell stock, but it's damn slow.

I agree that SN95s are slow stock but I've seen some pretty quick ones that were built. I dunno why Ford never put the 351 in the Mustangs after 93 when Chevy has the LT1 and 6speed. To me it woulda givin you Camaro and Trans Am guys some better competition and it would have givin the Mustang that better sound that LT1's and LS1's have.

Can't argue there......an overhead cam, aluminum block and heads version of the 351 Windsor would have been a REALLY good engine......













but hey....I'm glad they didn't.....otherwise we (f-bodies) might be the slow ones.....



Hey....Bullit.....got some trivia...you know why a Windsor block is called a Windsor? This should be an easy question for someone as "all knowing" as you......

Thanks guys. The guy also has a fox body mustang that he is putting in a 351 Cleaveland in it. He is wanting me to race him in that when he is done. Do you think he will get me or will the LS1 prevale?

depends on what he does to it......

light car (fox body) and a possible 450HP+ engine.....it might not come out too good for you.....

I know the guy who sold it to him and the guy who is putting it in for him. He says it has around 375 hp. So if it lives up to his words he will probably get me. What do ya think?

Another thing is that it will be an automatic but it will have a 3500rpm stall in it.
I am a six speed!
Will this help or hurt?
