Saturday Night Grudge...Me Vs Bullitt..Round 1
 

Well, It happened. I got to race the Bullitt. At first, I was going to wait till I had my full suspension and some GOOD tires, but there is something to be said about peer pressure. :D

Drove by the old Advanced Auto Hang out. First time, I made sure they all heard me. They did (My main victim was present this time), no if's, ands or buts about it. They heard.

Second time trying to lure him out, I ran up at a light right before the parking lot. Now, if I had, I couldnt of staged what was about to happen any better if I had tried...It all happened naturally.

What pulled up next to me, a F-250 full of half drunk (Some full blown) co-workers yelling at me, then while at the light, to my left pulls up a nice, new shiny red C-5 Vette.

Of course, leave it to drunks to instigate something. They were antoginizing the Vette something bad. The light turned and I was cruising next to the truck yelling back at the driver of it (Whom I know from work). At about 20 MPH, the Vette to my left decides to floor it. I do the same also. I was in Second gear, caught traction half way decent by easing 2nd. Hit 3rd.

The Parking lot where most of the people that are on my list hang out at was right there. Third Gear, I just pulled and pulled on the vette, but the top of third, I had gained back the half a car length he pulled on me by jumping on it first, and had gained a car length back on him. All infront of the parking lot.

At the next light, the preppy dude driving the vette was actually cool about it. He said "This is a Vette, You got a Mustang....Isnt This (Meaning his Vette) supposed to be faster than Mustang???"

I threw in..." A Two Valve GT at that. Yeah, I think you were supposed to be faster, if all was equal. Which I guess its not."

He then asked "GD (Still pumped on adrenaline by the looks of it), do you race alot?" My Reply "Something like that...Kinda"

"Man, That was F'in cool" He exlaimed. Guess being beat by a Mustang GT didnt bother him. Which I thought was cool, I obviously introduced someone to the world of street racing. I parted with a "Take it easy man...That was a good one".

Still shaking from the show I put on for the Bullit and its closet queer driver and minions, I called Tim and back to our Saturday night Meet.

Well, after some time had passed, I thought I'd give it one more try. Gremlin (A freind of mine) rode with me, when we went by, he challenged them. This time they actually followed and met us.

His stuff had obviously changed...Gone was the loud straight pipe exhaust...Couldnt even hear it idle. The only way I could tell it was running was an unusual amount of steam coming out his tail pipes...mostly 1 pipe. I pooped my hood to show him no power adder, and what looked all most completely stock (Sure didnt sound like it), well the engine rocked something horrible :D

He wouldnt pop his, Fine with me. I didnt notice the Nitto's he had on the back though.. While we cruised side by side, Gremlin called me from the observation vehcile (Tim C's truck) and warned me about the Nitto's.

Well, I tried to egg him on from a roll after that....He didnt want no part of a Rolling Race (Even though I deminstrated to him that I do nothing but spin in second)

We caught a lite together...At one of the worst freaking intersections in town..Bumps..Pot Holes, Man hole covers... I wasnt going to run at that crappy intersection. But he insisted on it...Of course his lane was far better than mine. When the light changed, I was alseep and in Nuetral (Dont ask.....I was no where near on top of the game).

He spun about 10 Ft and hooked. I just spun...and spun...then spun some more....I didnt get traction till I short shifted it into 3rd buy which time he had pulled 2.5-3 cars on me. (I need suspension something horrible) After I started building the RPMS up...I started reeling him in....by the time I had caught him...I was once again...near the top of third...right by his side, Door to Door. I thought he let off, but when I got next to him, I looked overand put the clutch in, then I heard it (From his Car)The Sudden sound of engine breaking followed by a whistle...short..but a whistle, from his car.

He let off after I had.....I let off because of a car up ahead. When we pulled over, his car still had steam coming out....a good bit of it, and from mostly one side...Strange...SOunded quite (I'm talking New Chevy Maluibu quite) ....at idle, but was screaming at anything else other than idle.

He suggested running again for some money (Stupid move, Dont think he was sandbaggin it, just bluffin) so I told him okay, but to give me two hours (Time to go home and bolt on some Slicks)...His face changed and eyes got wide...Then threw some excuse on how it was late (It was only 12:30, and this guy stays up later than I).

Dont know the deal behind quite Idle..Loud anything else....Whistle...A good bit of steam coming out of one pipe, and the lack of the long tubes he used to have....Somethings up..Dont know what. Those just dont add up...

The observation Vehicle Crew (Wittness) said it was pretty cool. At first they thought after he got the jump on me, We'd level out and things would stay that way...A stale mate....

Then when I started pulling on him like it was something to do, Tim C, said Gremlin jumped somehow up and half way on the consule yelling, pointing "HES GAINING...MAN...HE'S REALING HIM BACK IN...OH MY GOD...CHECK THAT S**** OUT!"

And Joe was hanging out of somewhere Yelling similar remarks.

They said once I caught traction....I was GONE! Flat out movin. Then we measured it out...Ran a little under a quarter, from the time I caught traction, and pulled up even with him (All in third gear) was close to an 1/8th mile.

If I can get that thing to hook from the start...he might of well of been a No Show, it would of been a slaughter...With all that trash he talked behind my back....He didnt have as much for me as he made it sound. When I get my suspension....There will be a round 2.

Screw the suspension and grab the slicks. Slicks + 4.10's = a BIG lead out of the hole!!

kinda sounds like hes running a turbo with the long tubes gone and a whistle noise. but if you saw his engine im sure you would have saw it.

I don't think the guy would pop his hood, so he could see.

Nope, he didnt offer to pop his, he didnt even walk towards the front of his car.

Thats okay. A friend of mine with a 98 Cobra with suspension and bolt ons got barely edged on by the Bullitt. The guy with the 98 ran a best of 12.9 at the track...I know the Bullit Driver would be hard pressed to be able to drive much better than that, even if he had a low 12 second car.

I think if it was a turbo, he would have wiped the floor with you. Did you see any new gauges in his car?

could be a turbo with a really bad tune or no tune at all yet.

To me the whistle and long tubes being gone are dead giveaways to a turbo.

In a fit of stupidity, I didnt check out much at all on his car. Didnt notice any guages, but I didnt even really look good enough to notice if he had a sasquatch in the car with him.

If he does have a turbo, he more than likely would have something similar, if not that particular kit that MM&FF had in there one issue. More than likely, he'd have the base version, which if I remember cranked out either 324, or 345 HP at the rear. The combination of our exhausts probably would of drowned at the sound of a turbo spooling up to only 5 psi (the psi that turbo had).

Plus, the queer cant drive all that well. He thinks he's Steve McQueen. Honestly, the dork idilizes him something fierce. Listens to songs about him, tries to dress like him (That or John Cusak), all because he has a Bullitt.

I was running stock, what he was running in the quarter with Long Tubes, 4:10's, off road H, and other minor Bolt on Crap. He still couldnt beat my best time when I was stock even when he threw Drag Radials on it. (Although he did come within 0.01 of a second from it) Thats his driving ability.

No one he knows really has the know how to come up with a NA combo, and all the people he knows dont much like changing the oil on a 4.6 let alone tearing one down, or changing out heads.

My bet is, he's got the same stock engine with a turbo on it. Thats the only reason I can think of to explain the quite idle, the steam flowing, and the whistle. More than likely if all is true, he had a place here in Benson, True Blue, do the tune.

Argh...The more I talk about him, the madder I get...I cant stand the fag....Argh.
:mad:

He must suck at driving. You should take a trip down to the shop and ask if they have tuned a turbo Bullitt recently ;)

It kinda ads up, and leads me to think he has a turbo...But I dont know...Have my doubts...'

Either way, he was really confident.....Really confident...Even when he heard my car bellowing, and rocking at idle...Even after he saw me take the Vette.

So, he was obviously given confidence through something he has had done to his car.

The main name is off the list now..

If he has a turbo there is no way you would have pulled on him.

And this is not a flame toward you. I seriously doubt that anyone would install a turbo kit on a car and only run 5 psi. that wouldnt make any sense at all.

I have never seen a turbo stang 4.6 or 5.0 not make over 400 RWHP.

I've seen people only run 5psi, but they had just installed the turbo kit and were working out the bugs and the tune.

Yep, my one friend with the Yellow Cobra was out there at the Advanced parking lot last night. He wanted to hear what they had to say.

They dont much care for my friend anymore, like me, the ousted him from there little group because he had other friends (Mostly because those friends were Tim C, Gremlin, and Me). But there still somewhat social with him.

Apparently word is, according to them (Being the Bullit and there one guy who observed the race) I have a Full Race 5.4 Stroker from SHM, and they think I might be spraying! :p

This is funny, this they noticed when I popped my hood. They saw the heads and knew. (Yeah......There arent any Aftermarket 4.6 heads....so how they could tell???? X-ray vision) But that was after they told my friend I wouldnt pop my hood...thats why they thought I was spraying...I poped both ends.

Yeah, if they knew crap to begin with, I'm sure they would of noticed that I had a Stock 4.6 PI intake....With no Intake Runner adapter plates.....(Neccassary if your running a 4.6 intake on a 5.4). Which would scream....4.6 block..But there stupid.

Anyway, the Bullitt Queer says he ran me up and down Raeford Rd, yeah...we ran once. Nor did he mention how I pulled up on him and right next to him. He said I was so far back that he couldnt see me in his rear view.....Probably because I wasnt in his rear view...I was next to his passenger window.

Yes, he got the jump on me in both reaction, and traction, but I spun for a little under an 8th.....Then in a little less than another 8th, I pulled up right next to him.

So, as I expected, they were talking junk, and telling yarns that had no resemblance of the truth in them. No harm in idiots fantasing and talking amongst even bigger idiots.

My suspension is on they way...and I have a little stash away that I put some money in every week for the night I call him out and race infront of his little lackies.

Just thought it was funny...They think I got a 5.4 based stroker from SHM. Dont know how they came to that conclusion.

Oh, and the most important part....He looked underneath the Bullitt when the fairy that drives it wasnt looking.

Yep, the headers are gone, and he said there were some wierd bends, and the intermidate pipe came straight down from the engine...almost no angle to it. He didnt look under the front of the car to.

If he properly upgraded hai fuel system and has a boost controller his car the the potential to be really fast but if he is as dumb as you say he will blow it up soon.

Dumb guy + turbo = boom

Hes running a turbo. That is a DEAD giveaway

Same stuff different day. You must be a master of finding people who can't drive. Your car will probably trap 109ish and a new C5 traps pretty close to that (close enough that you could not make up ground like you claim). And if a bullit has a turbo kit you car is but a joke to him, sorry.

My 2000 GT clocked 104 MPH stock. That was here in Fayetteville, during a hot 90+ degree day with 93percent humidity. To make matters worse...I had the Flu that week. That was like last year, or the year before that.

That wasnt on just one run either...pretty consistant... out of 8 runs...got that speed half the time. The other time I missed 2nd gear (Dont ask), another run I missed 3rd. Another I blew the start by spinning for like the first 30 feet....

As for my trap times...How can you predict those???? Do you know more about my engine than I do....Do you know my vavle sizes, flow numbers....cam degreeing....How did you know how much power I'm building to come up with that Trap speed there??? Do you think all my cards are on the table for all of those around here to know???

:rolleyes:

Cogradulations you have the worlds fastest stock 00GT. I can't wait to post this on corral and watch the responses!

Simple I have been around mustangs long enough to know how they are going to respond. You gave enough info to make a semi acurate guess. As for all the cards on the table, I have whatched your response for a long time and I know you put all your cards on the table.

Wow looks like things never change. Fisrt your old FOX body was a freak and could never loose to an LS1 now you have the fastest stock GT known to man and still wipe the floor with those lame azz LS1's:rolleyes:

You are as pathetic today as the day we ran you off with your tail between your legs last year.

Also is that advanced auto the biggest one on the planet? You said the light was right in front of it and your whole race with the Vette was in front of it? Yet you say you rolled out for a little bit and at 20mph you guys went, you went all through second, and then third yet were still infront of the auto place where everyone could see what you did to the guy. You realize that with what your saying the parking lot is well over a quarter mile long!! Thats a big Advanced Auto;)

You were a liar before and your a damn liar now, pulling C%'s like nothing and then a Turbo stang....BULL S###

Then you question Sedanman on his knowledge of Mustangs. when you spout the continued crap that you do? :rolleyes:

You are a joke!! always have been always will be. I thought maybe getting a year older would make you wiser, but looks like maybe you got even more immature.

aquaman you are thinking of Unit 5302 with the foxbody and the new GT.

might want to think before opening your mouth :)

It isnt that hard to believe that someone with more money than sense could turbocharge his car and without tuning get beaten by mercury....

Yeah Unit had the worlds fastest stock fox body.

Are you still in the 12's or have you moved on to faster ET's?

Later,

Wow AquaMoron...

Your my hero....Your powers of reccollection are just astounding. Bedazle me with your brillance.

Um....He Mental Stud...I never owned a 5.0. And umm...I never left/ran with my tails between my legs. Its an internet site dude....Whats there to run from...??? All computers? Engage Brain...Then type.

Just another mindless idiot wasting the air for us people with brains.

Guess you never heard of bad drivers...What are all drivers (Esp LS-1 Drivers) great out the doors (Since birth) where your at?

Not even gonna waste my time with your ability to comprehend text either. You obviously dont read for a hobbie do you?

Nuff said...I'm done with this post.

I do stand corrected it was Unit I was thinking of. Please accept my appologies for that ignorance. It must have been to fact that you both claim to have Mustangs faster then any other one known on Earth. And you continued showing of ignorance through the post that had me thinking of him.

Hell at this point I'm thinking you might actually be more of a fool then he was.

By the way reading is a Skill not a pastime ;)

Yeah and Mercury has the worlds fastest 99+ GT:rolleyes:

I have moved soundly out of the 12's thanks for asking.(though Sedanman still kicked my azz untuned one day) Hey what happened to your other car? I only see one listed in your sig.

I had to sell the 01' Cobra. I never really drove it much, and my girlfriend wanted a newer car so I sold the cobra bought her a 00' beetle:rolleyes: ....

I am now saving up some money so I can put a good down payment down on a vette or used viper. It will probably be a year or so but I have my stang, the beetle:rolleyes: and my company truck to put around in till then.

I think in the end it will be worth the small sacrifice I have made.;)

At least tell me it's a Turbo Beetle!!!

Good luck with the Vette/Viper purchase. I am looking at getting a used GTS sometime this year. Hopefully before summer but I have a huge tax bill due.

Take care

Hey Mercury,

If you can tell me the color of the Bullitt; and if True Blue really did the Mods (turbo?) I can find out from Chris or Mark what the car, is. has done, and what kinda power it is making.

I'm going up there Tues to go with Mark to carry my car to NJ to have Jimmy Laracco tune it.

Ehh, I gotta call Mark anyway to see when I'm supposed to meet him. I'll see if he knows anything.:D :D
