![]() I think you have a good chance at winning yes he does have gears but the sn95 cars have more weight as well. I think it will come down to who can drive there car better

![]() Hmmm it will be a close one....gears give him an advantage, but your new tires should help considerably. I definitely agree with Explicitone, it will be all up to the driver. Be sure to let us know what happens.

![]() Drive the piss out of your car and he wont have much of a chance. MOST 94-95 5.0's run in the low 15's. You should have an easy mid 14 out of yours.

![]() I think you would win even if you were stock. Your car is way in the hell lighter than his.

![]() you'll smoke him like a cooked sausage.
A good running lx is easily deep in the 14's. You gotta work to get an early sn95 into the 14's.

![]() Your car is 14.6-14.8 second car more than likely.
Borrow some slicks rape him off the line and hope you can hold him off. I didnt notice he had gears when I first replied. Good luck,

![]() IMO, it will all depend on your launch. Get a good, hard launch and I think you'll have an excellent chance.
Good luck, and keep us posted. E

![]() I'm thinking it will be close, but he should have the advantage over you because of the gears. Gears make a huge difference! His car is probably around 300-400lbs. heavier than yours. But that 14.3 pretty much says it all. I say he gets you by a couple of car lengths, depending on how you each hook up. Have fun!

My best time is 14.41 with a 2.07 60'. That translates to about a 2 car lead at the sixty foot clocks with him chasing me HARD the entire way. It looks like he's got 1MPH advantage, so..it'd be a really close/GOOD race. Too bad Carlsbad is so far from Houston.. This sounds like a race I'd like to particpate in.

![]() Now I undestand why {but no agree} with why FUN FORD disqualified the Lincoln Mark VIII from Mod Motor competition....
{LMAO} "fraidy cats!" They were SKURRED the the Mark VIII would outshine their mod motor entries, so rather than "making a race out of it".. They KICKED us out..{totally cracking up} First a supercharged 00 GT craps his pants out running a lincoln, THEN FUN FORD...craps it's pants when "the Lincolns show up at FFW". Take care kinds and be safe out there. Tommy Douglas. MOD MOTOR OUTLAW...in Grandma's Car. {LMAO}
