Well, I got my first actaul kill since rebuilding my car. It was against my friend with a 03 Mach 1 Mustang. He has had it for a couple of weeks. I let him talk it up a bit, then he asked me to race. We went from a dead stop. I jumped him a bit off the line, then I bogged it down and he jump about 1 1/2 car lengths on me while my turbos started spooling back up around 4500rpm in 1st gear. (Got to work on the launch! ) I banged second and pulled steadily till my door was at his front bumper. Hit third (didn't miss it even though im in bad need of a engine torque brace and short shifter ) and that was all she wrote. I put about 3 lengths, im not sure how many and don't won't to exagerate, between us by the top of 4th. Prolly around 135mph, I really need to get my speedo fixed. I was pleased, even though he did have a 190lb passenger with him. Its nice to out run a brand new $34k dollar car with a 10+ year old car.



My mods are: Home built and small street ported motor (props to P'ColaFD!), E6K, dp, mp, catback, intakes, Greddy smic, full non seq, manual conversion, 10-11psi boost.

I almost forgot. After shutting down and talking for a bit, I noticed that I sprung a coolant leak somewhere. Turned out to be one of the heater core lines. Oh well, the work never ends! I was expecting to break something anyways.
