5.0 vs 5.0

[7up]

I was going to my parents house today when I spotted a mid-80's black 5.0 pull out of their subdivision. I figured I'd follow him I see if I could have a little fun. He saw me and he wanted to go, but we are on a two lane road with a bunch of traffic. HIs Stang didn't look modded at all, but the thing had a nasty growl when he hit it. So I kept following him and a few times we had a chnace to take off a little bit, but I was stuck behind him and we would run into more traffic. Finally he turns on to this wide four lane road with no one on it in sight. He takes off and then I take off behind him. I caught up with him at the end of second gear and them I passed him at the start of third. I let off after we hit 75 and I was barely 1 car length ahead of him.

We both stopped at the end of the road and I asked him what he had done to his Mustang. He said just a few little things and then he asked if I wanted to go again from a stop. I said sure. We lined up and he went and I went. I got a crappy launch and spun all through first. We were dead even at the end of first then I started pulling away when I got traction in second. We hit third and I'm about one car length ahead and he starts catching up to me, then he passes me and I let off when I hit 90. HE was atleast one car length ahead of me, that thing really took off.

We stopped and talked some more. He said he had a cam and intake and listed a few other mods. He complained that he wasn't putting down the power though, because he only had a 7 1/2 rear end and 308 gears. I didn't inform him that I only have 273's. I told him I had the Vortech supercharger with 5 psi. He seemed like a cool guy and he did a burn when he took off to catch some friends that had passed us going the other way right when we stopped racing the second time.

That race made my day, I never get to have races like that.
