Default it was great!

The other day i was washing my ss and a red 96 stang gt stops in front of my house and starts spinnin the wheels trying to be cool. He had his friends in their too, i walked out to the street and asked if he wanted to run and he said if i was willing, ok. He kept going on about how far behind i was gonna be. I took him to an open road and gave about two lengths and themove from 30 and by the time we reached about 100 he was trailing me by about 4 or 5 lengths. I stopped at the end of the road and he pulled up next to me. he asked whati had on my car, and i told him it was a bone stock ss. He was appauled. I left laughing while telling him "That'll teach u to mess with a LS1." It was great!

Great job man, some V8 Mustang owners can be really cocky because they think their car is fast when most of the time it's not.

Great Kill! Those gay 4.6L GT mustangs are what all the guys seem to be buying in my town, I've raced one of them, and beat him by a good 5 car lengths from a slow roll to about 100 mph, all he would say was he had alot of bolt-ons. This weekend I bought a Mustang's and Fast Fords magazine just to study up on the competition and see just what I might be dealing with in the future if these guys start doing mods.....I came to the conclusion that you'd have to be a freaking idiot to buy one of those cars.
Examples:
1) Aftermarket Mod Max cylinder heads, intake valve 1.781 inches, exhaust valve 1.482 inches, intake port flows 213cfm @ .550in. lift (that's up 50cfm over the stock ports)
2) There's a Bullit in the magazine that run's 11.90's on motor, which isn't bad, but it has the following mods: cobra block, cobra crank, Mod Max cylinder heads, 3100lb raceweight, 28x10.5 slicks, 4.10 gears, 12:1 compression (runs on race gas only), headers, x-pipe, no cats, FAST fuel management, throttle body, ported bullit intake, etc, etc, and it still only makes 300 rwhp!
I just think it's so funny seeing all these punks with their huge hoods and bullshit mods on these gay *** mustang 2v motors. Now the 03 cobra and the naturally aspirated cobras are a different story, I have respect for them, I guess my question is: if the insurance and prices of these cars are basically the same as a cobra or an LS1 ta or camaro, why, why, why, why, why, would anyone buy one? anybody? sorry so long

LOL, nice kill.

But I'd be kind of pissed if some jack *** in a Mustang started doing a burnout in front of my house. You should've had the guy clean up the rubber.

Guys, as much as we might hate to admit it, Stangs are fast. It's just, well,... Ls1's are faster

Good Kill. At least he'd talk to you at the end of the race. That's more than any import ownwer would've done.

I dunno... I would call stangs "fast"... they're quick, I guess. Some of them are just as bad as riceburners, though.
