my car - at the time it was stock block, turbos and all other hardware with the exception of a rotary performance drag launch kit. for software i had the apexi power fc and jacobs ignition. i had the all season tires, and this was my first time on the drag strip.



other kid- 4.6 v8 with a mild cam and retune. dot drag radials and that's all that he'd tell me.



on an eighth mile track i ran these times to beat him



fastest time

r/t-.9372 (asleep at the wheel, i know)

60ft-1.9534

330ft-5.4632

1/8th et-8.2322

1/8th mph-87.57



fastest speed

r/t-.6101

60ft-2.1121

330ft-5.6901

1/8th et-8.4768

1/8th mph- 90.49

 

Not too shabby!

 

can't wait to see what she'll do when i get back, too bad it'll be awhile. banzai requires a 2500 mile break in to keep the warranty.

 

not bad at all.

 

Thanks guys!!

 

1/8th mile times are like greek to me as i've never run an 8th but i used to be a stang NUT (still kinda am i just like lots of diffrent cars too, hence selling my 400hp 88 mustang for a stock FD) the thing about stangs is, they range from REALLY slow to insanely fast with very little effort, i mean if he put the wrong combination of parts in his (like 90% or stangs owners do) then he could have actually made it much slower than stock.



either way, good kill just don't go thinking that the next stang would be anything like this one, its always hit or miss.

 

i've also street raced a late model gt500 so i know it was no fluke. i was in the banked lane (banked for drainage, straight road though) so my back end was washing out towards the curb. even with the horrible traction and going down a straight street at an angle, i kept up with him lol. this was in northern texas right next to where nitrous express is based. they don't do mistakes on mustangs lol

 

Yesss!

 

Lol there are 3 types of tuners in Wichita falls. Vettes (mostly ******), camaro/mustang nuts (always have something to prove and want to race everyone), then the import guys (random grab bag of cars that range from well built monsters to grenades with the pin barely in, all outcast by the general populace of Texas). All the import guys aim for beating the vette guys though because they snub their nose at everyone lol
