You're right, I've been here 4mo less than you.
Like I said, the Mustang wasn't setup to run because it was nasty as hell out before I ran it. It was about time to do a tune up on the damn thing, and I didn't have a garage to use. As much as anything the moisture probably contributed to it missing. It was cool, but dry when I did the runs, on a crappy road. So it had a dirty air filter, and it needed a tune. It was also my only car and I work. Sorry the several days out before that it was in the 30's and 40's with rain, gets dark at 7PM, and I work until 5PM. How's that FL weather? You have 2 weeks of straight 30-40* days (highs) with rain every single day and no garage to work in right? Must be nice to see everything through rose colored glasses.
You give no credit to what a near stock Mustang can do. Your own tired 215k GT pulls a 14.4@97mph with nothing done to it. Take 70k off it. Add a H pipe, take August heat out of the scenerio. All the sudden your car is a high 13 car at 100mph+. My car beats other cars that my 88 couldn't. I've gauged it against my friends 5.0's. My friends have driven my car. It's not normal. So what if it's a little freaky? There are other quicker cars than normal out there. You see what you want to see. Not the fact that if my car can run a high 13 on the street, and LS1 could be a mid 13 car at the track that it's not an impossible kill. I've posted several times they aren't pushovers, and several times that my car shouldn't beat them, and several times that if I were to run one that has a good driver behind the wheel it's an inevitable loss for the 87. None of that is ever seen by skimming over my posts to find targets to respond to. Nope, just find the parts you want see.
Your lack of respect for the stock stangs doesn't need to be made in a quote form. You show it in every load of BS you call on any near stock Mustang running with or beating an LS1. The first thing you do is call BS. There was a post just the other day where somebody claimed to run down an LS1 after being pulled out of the hole by it. I had my suspicions about it. Sounds like a load to me, but I didn't call BS. What if the LS1 guy missed 3rd bad? You don't know. You're sure more than capable of calling BS instantly though.
Talk about my attitude problem? You think I want to hang out with a bunch of guys who don't respect me or my car? LOL. I've been driving V-8 Mustang's longer than you have 8 years. Cause you know how me being here 4mo less than you is such a huge deal right? Me driving V8 Mustang's for a year longer than you should be twice as big a deal.
Sorry I think that Mustang people should stick together. You obviously don't share that point of view. Nope. They should bow down to the mighty LS1, and it's the LS1 owners responsibility to hang out on Mustang boards and call BS and insult stock Mustangs performance when they run the almighty LS1. Your superiority complex, and that of several other LS1 owners lately is what ticks me off. Much like how many new GT owners look down on the older Mustangs, albeit highly inspired by the way newer GT's were ridiculed and looked down upon by the owners of the 5.0, the stock 5.0 crowd has come under fire by the GM owners. Maybe the *** of GM owners is still raw from the butt kicking the Fox 5.0 unleashed on the F bodies 15 years ago.
I have no such desire to go onto other car sites and call constant BS on hard to believe stories. No desire to tout how incredibly superior my Mustang is to their Eclipse. There is a difference from keeping it real, and keeping it hostile. If I have to make a few waves to get people to listen up and maybe think, then fine. Like I give a **** what you think about me. I'm plenty secure in my knowledge, and the several posts I make per day helping Mustangers, and even other car drivers learn about and fix their cars. I have what, like 4500 posts on this site? Good grief. All I have to say is BS though. Site clown, I guess. I do give a **** what people think about the Mustang, and the intentional desire to discredit peoples experiences in the stock car.
Might want to take into consideration if you have SEVERAL people attacking you, you might get a little pissed.
Aquaman A high 13 car on the street vs a mid 13 car on the track. Not much of a difference that I see there. If the LS1 driver is real good, he'll probably be a low/mid 13 car on the street. At most he'll take me by a few cars in a full 1/4 mile run. Less if it's from a highway roll to 100 and I take the jump. Track times don't equal street races. Think an LS1 that runs a mid 13 with Joe Schmoe running on a track with traction compound laid down is going to run a mid 13 on a busted, broken up country road that hasn't seen a new coat of tar in 10 years? That road was god awful. You came after me, and started the ****,
Aquaman. Don't sling **** and expect to come out smelling like a rose. I'm not contridicting myself. I have confidence in my capability of winning in a street race against an LS1. I'd actually have the 87GT running GOOD when it came time to run, and I would take the jump. If it was lined up, I expect to launch a lot harder than I did on that country road. My 5.0 doesn't give up the ghost in 3rd gear like my friend's do. I am confident it would take one hell of an LS1 and driver to come back from a few cars behind on my car. If I get the holeshot, or the jump, a chase is still a race and it takes a bunch more power to run somebody down.
