![]() Tonight was a good night. Got into a few other races other than Brads Cobra.
I, start with the first. A 94-95 GT convertible, young guy driving. He came up on me and shot over into the other lane at a light. Reving and pointing foward. I nodded and took my usaul race position. The light changed, and i did a pretty good launch, I went easy kinda on it out of the hole. By the Time I was around 4900 Rpms in second gear, it was pretty much over. I took it to the top of third and saw he was far back and i let off. I put on my hazards to rub things in a little more. He pulls beside me at another light (we werent first in line so no race), and asks me if my car is a 5 speed. I tell him it is, and he says his is an auto. He then asks what Mods I have. I tell him none and he insists Im lying to him. I tell him the only Mod I have is the Hurst T Handle shift nob thats in my hand now. He then commences to swearing in some sort of disbelief and claims he has all these Mods. I could tell he had an off road pipe (nice fumes emmiting from the back) And he rattled off all these other mods, cold-air, pullies, throttle body, exhaust. and some tothers. He tells me he wants to run again if we catch a light. I say sure why not. We didnt get another light, but he rides up next to me while I'm doing 55 mph and he floors it. The auto kicks down a few gears and he takes off. I think what the hell. I take it out of 5th and put it into 3rd. I let off the clutch quick and spin a little (did it on purpose ![]() Next light hes swearing again. I told him about the local HotRod hangout and to meet the gang out there. Told him maybe we could run again. ![]() Next race was with some riced out accord that isnt even worth mentioning. They just wanted to see what the newer stangs could do. Last race was REAL CLOSE. ![]() They said I took off and they didnt even try to catch up. They were even surprised that an early 4.6 gave me that much of a run. I commend who ever the driver was, and what ever he did to his car. Maybe next time ![]() Haul some A$$ and waste some more gas. ------------------ 64 1/2 Red Mustang Coupe. 289, C4, 3:1 rear gear.

![]() About your last race with the 96-98 4.6... I find that a lot of 5.0 drivers in my area don't know much about the speed of the new 4.6... They are usually good bate for killing ... and they get pissed when they find out the car is stock.

![]() Nice kills... I don't know why that guy in the 94-95 gt vert was surprised, all he had was a few boltons and without gears(u didn't mention them) in a heavy vert with an auto, I don't see that thing being too fast.

![]() No, he didnt mention anything about gears. A whole bunch of other stuff, but no gears, and the idle sounded pretty tame, chances are he didnt go into the motor yet. Gears would of been the first thing I would of done.
I was talkin to one of my other friends who hangs out at the Advanced Auto, with a 95 Cobra, and he said he seen the guy before and one of his friends (also with a 95 Cobra) ran him and blew his doors off. He said the guy did the same thing, started swearing and wanting to run again. ![]() I guess if at first you dont succedd, try, try again. ![]() Yes, a 94-95 Gt convertible with an auto wouldnt be my first choice for a base of a street machine. ![]() [This message has been edited by Mercury (edited 04-08-2001).] |
