...but the superior German engernearing!

Here's what happened...

I'm making a right hand turn. As soon as a make the turn into the right lane, I see the stang zip around into the left and floor it. He got to my rear fender before I punched it (not totally full throttle though!). I got 2 car lengths ahead of him before I slowed down. Had I kept going I would have left him in the dust. All my mods really don't kick in untill 70mph and BMW's have awesome top end power. The driver gave me a dirty look as he passed me. It had a 5.0 badge on the side of it.

It looked like a 90's 5.0 automatic convertible. I'd say I made a nice kill.

Automatic 5.0 convertible? Sounds like a high 15 to low 16 1/4 mile...

ahhhhhhhhhh memories of my first Mustang, a '92 GT hatch woth a AOD. It went 15.6 stock to a 15.0 flat with headers, H-pipe, Flowmasters, chip, pullies, timing and cold air. My '89 GT 5-speed did 14.7 with just Flowmasters. Meeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmoriiiiiiiiessssssssssss

I was shocked! I thought 5.0's were faster. BTW: I've got about 180hp at the flywheel now. That's it! However this summer I'm hooking up a turbo. 7psi = 240 at the wheels! Yeah babay!

If I get some more cash I'll rebuild the engine, run the turbo at 15psi and get 350 hp at the wheels! Then I'd need a bunch of other parts though...

LT WHAT?

here's how IT happened. I saw a Teg zipping in and out of traffic on RT58. I followed a little bit and pulled up along side it at a light. I looked over and it was a guy. He looked at my ride...I his. His is nice...little rims a little body kit and a loud ass exhaust. I could here his over mine so I know it was LOUD.
He revs....I rev...light changes...he sqeals his tires...I don't...I let him get ahead buy a few car leghts and then pull up on him.....wave........rev....dump the clutch and roll buy doing a wheelie. Ooops did I mention I was riding ZX-7?! :)

auto mustangs are weak, unless they are pumped like a mother, go find a 5.0 with a 5 speed, stock or not is doesn't matter, but if you got that top end, who knows, good killl.
