Good race with a ‘98 Z28 LS1
I am out lookin’ for a stomp when I come upon this Z28 heading north on Rt. 1. He was one car ahead of me at the light. When it turned green and the traffic moved forward, I threw him a rev as I passed by to try and bait him. As we approached the next light, I slowed down with the hope that it would turn red which it did. And what’s beside me, the Z28. Perfect!
I was ready to go either way and when it turned green we both hit it! It was a pretty even start, I may have spun more than he did. We were literally side by side through 2 gears, I shifted into third perfectly and pulled 2 car lengths on him with another 1500 rpm to give, but he got off the gas. Kill! I slowed for the next light and he stopped parallel to my car. I looked over, guy about mid 40s, and he says ”I would have kept going with you but I was coming up on traffic. With my just gained confidence, I said Okay! You want to go again? He said no and asked, What year is your Mustang? I responded and asked him the same, He replied ’98 Z28 and then drove off. I don’t know if he had any mods, but the race went about as expected against a 98 Z28 LS1 (high 13s). I figured he’d hang through the first 2 gears with the extra torque but I would come out ahead in 3rd gear with the additional horsepower that my car has. The great thing with this race is the revenge factor. I got stomped by the LS1 camaros when I was running 15s prior to the mods (See user rides section). ------------------ '93 GT Conv. 13.35 @ 104.8 mph |
