Well seeing as it�s a little dead around hear I figured I would post a little story that happened a few weeks ago. First I�ll give a little background on my car. It�s an 89 mustang that is pretty fast for a streetcar. It runs in the high 11s. But the thing about it is that it doesn�t look that fast. It basically looks like a stock mustang, the only difference is that it has a cowl induction hood and the rear tires are larger (bfg drag radials 275-50-15) other then that it looks stock in fact it still has the stock rims. Now it doesn�t sound stock, it defiantly is a lot louder and the idle is a little ruff due to the cam. So if anybody who knows anything about cars would look under the hood they would know immediately that it�s not stock but at first glance the car doesn�t look that fast.


Now I just recently started driving the car again (it was sitting for at least a year) so anyway I was working on the kitchen replacing trim and had to run out and get some more 1/4 round trim. My wife was out and had the explorer so rather then wait for her to get back I decided to just take the stang. So I run over to the local hardware store and pick up the trim as I�m loading it in through the hatch I see the nitrous bottle and wonder if there is any left in the tank and if it still works after sitting for so long. Well I did what any normal person would do and decided there is only one way to find out. So I open up the bottle and as I pulled out of the store I hammer it a little to see if it works, and it did. So as I�m slowing down for the next stoplight another mustang passes me and revs his motor as he passes me. Now this was a 2001 body style it was a gt it defiantly had some exhaust work done, it had some custom tail lights nice paint job, all in all a good looking car. So when we pull up to the light there was another car directly in front of me so I pull in behind him. So when the light turns green he pulls out in front and slows down so I could pull up next to him. So we were rolling in 2 nd gear and we both nod and we go I waited for him to go first and then, hammered it with the nos. I blew buy him so fast it was embarrassing, I mean it looked like he hit the brakes. So I slow down and he pulls up next to me with a look of shock on his face and gives me the thumbs up as he passes buy. Ahhh priceless

kool story !
sounds like 2 cool lookin cars too !!

HAHAHA i like it, it sounds pretty chill. Good story hansel!

you run an fomoco f cam or something aftermarket/custom?

a friend of mine has an '88 that he's put a lot of work into. bet it's in the high 12's very low 13's with nothing but a motorsport short block, afr heads (a 1 point bump over stock cr), e cam, trickflow intake, big throttle; big maf; oversized injectors.

funniest part - he romps on it and hasn't broken the 4 banger t5 that the dipshit p.o. had put in it after breaking the stock t5.

'85 jag xj-s w/ 383 stroker shooting for low 12's...will be shooting for low 11's with the new 434" small block i'm building though...4" stroke; 4.155" bore. Basically a de-bored 454 shoehorned into a 400 block.
