SHO'n a GTA up!
 
Ive said it once Ill say it again,"This never happins while I am driving the Mustang" On my home yesterday I am in the fast lane and notice the GTA is holding up the traffic. SO I cut down 2 lanes to get around him. When I get in front of him I slow down to see if he wants to play. He does and procedes to ride my ***. By this time we are doing about 75mph so I down shift to 3 and nail it. He stayed with me till I hit 4 gear (around 100), I have about a 2 car length lead, and then it is all over. I run up to about 125 and had him by at least 9 cars. We finally caught some traffic and he got off at a exit. I laughed my *** off that my 4 door family car beat him that bad. The funny thing is I put a NOS sticker on my car (I does NOT have NOS. Its there just to incite ricers) and he probley thinks I was spraying him the whole time. If you can beat them, SHO them:cool:

Nice kill! That's got to be humbling....but now he has an excuse that you have a NOS kit :rolleyes: . Beating someone and then giving them no excuse why you whooped on them kills their ego.....and makes you feel great :D

Boy, am i an @ss or what :p

Ackbar00 11-27-2002 07:45 AM

84, I like the fact that you took you Jeep to the track. When I took my wifes Civic, everone thought I was crazy. I only made 1 pass and it went 17.37. I kept betting that thing like it was my mustang but it just would not go. Mabey I forget to put a NOS sticker on it:D

this is not cbring 11-27-2002 05:10 PM

i'd like to run your SHO or one like it

Ackbar00 11-29-2002 09:59 PM

Sounds like a good idea, Come up to dayton sometime. I'll let you here what a 7000RPM takeoff sounds like:p

Just to let you know they weren't that impressive stock. Typically they ran mid to low 15's brand new.

Ackbar00 12-02-2002 02:45 PM

I know that. Thats why I was fuckingg with him. Because I knew I could walk him on the highway.

Seems like a lot of men have to resort to getting SHO's when their wifes will not let them have fast cars.

Why was he talking so much smack about his mid 15 sec. T/A? Did he just get it?....I don't get it.

Ackbar00 12-03-2002 07:40 AM

I have no clue who this guy was. Just saw him on the highway and he looked like a cocky 16yr old.

One - My mustang is faster than the SHO. And with my tax return this year, it will be a little faster.

one 12-03-2002 12:04 PM

(laughing) I saw your mustang stats I was just giving you a hard time.

Ackbar00 12-03-2002 01:35 PM

OOOHHHHH!!, I see how it is.:D

Aquaman 12-05-2002 11:38 AM

Ackbar, I get to Cincy / Dayton area alot. If you ever want to run SHO Vs. SHO or Stang Vs. Vette let me know. I'm always up for a friendly race.

Nice kill in the SHO by the way.:)

Ackbar00 12-05-2002 12:42 PM

Mabey SHO vs. SHO, I dont think I want any of the Vette(yet mind you). A buddy of mine just baught a 93 SHO Auto and he is just itching to run them. Kind of a bad time with all this damn snow and all. We will have to try and hook up (I got my brother-in-law's Digtal camcorder:D ) for the SHO on SHO.

Strange, my '90 Formula 350 ran 13.40's@101+ with bolt on's and the stock converter w/3:27 gears. 1/8th was 8.50's@80+ I took my dads '94 SHO to the track once a few years ago and it ran a 9.9X@72 with a K&N filter and the air silencer removed. I did get spanked once many years ago by a SHO when I had a Camaro w/a 305 TBI. :D

I'll let ya know when I'll be there next when the weather is decent. You should whip your buddies azz if he's got an Auto, sure he's got a 3.2 instead of the 3.0 but I never lost a race to an auto SHO. But maybe we sould try and get a three way race with you me and him, that would be cool. I bet I would win worst looking SHO award. I have beaten the crap out of this car for 13 years now.Still be cool to do it.
