Unhappy Got beat driving a friends Mustang

Well, at least it wasn't my car. My friend just bought a '92 coupe with nothing but longtubes, Off-road H, E-cam and a Cobra intake. Our neighbor had a friend over that was yelling trash across the street about the new stang.

Later the same night he let me drive it around a bit and the dude across the street followed us. He is in a new 1.8 Golf with whatever bolt-ons and 18 PSI! He tried to get us doing a fly-by starting at about 40, but I stayed even. Then we punched from about 35 and the Golf left us. I heard the boost over the sound of the longtubes. I don't know much else about the Golf, but I was impressed.

Then I got to thinking...
$20,000 Golf
$5,000+ for a huge turbo and other bullshit
1st time I ever drove the guys mustang
Didn't feel very confident about the condition of his clutch and tranny.
Not too bad considering he paid 3K for the car.

Now if I can just find the guy when I am in my car...
