I don't race people to much because my car isn't exactly street legal but thats another thing. So I'm cruising to my buddies house when I notice a mustang coming up in my rearview pretty quick. At first I didn't think to much about it til he revved a few times, I was making a right anyway. So the light I'm at turns green and I go for it getting some good shifts til third when I misshift and the guy passes me. Think I would of had him til i screwed up my shift I caught back up to him. Now were at a light to make a left talk about bad starting points. I know my car can handle well but its a little picky about turns and accelrating, the back tends to kick. Again the light changes and were off, I nurse it through the turn and gun it. Getting the better spot at the light he was about a car length ahead but I closed the gap fast, took a quick look over smiled and took off leaving him in the dust. Finally one more light he pulls up and tells me that my car is fast and wants to know my power. I tell him 160hp and he just turns pale. Good times.

 

hrm... pretty good for an NA.... what mods/weight redictions you runnin?

 

It's nice to see rexs woopin up on them stangs, what mods you got done?

 

what kind of wheels are those? nice kill man

 

good kill!

 

uh.... not to defend the mustang but my 5.0 is a hell of a lot faster than my mid 15 second n/a fc (deceased, rolled it down a mountain side).

crappy driver?

i just noticed you're in garden grove too! I have a ton of second gen parts you can have for free, pm me and ill give you my number if your interested.

 

for mods there's a lot to list so I'll just give the majors. built engine minus balance and lightened rotarys, msd box, flywheel clutch plate and disc. Custom racing rear diff. Tein suspension upgraded pads and lines. weight reduction is removed rear half of interior.

 

Also wheels are Work Rezak series1

 

My step father just ogles my 7/8 and laughs about our old 5.0. They only had 220hp IIRC. A lot of liters for soo little power. Nice kill.

 

^ ehh its not even that mush literage. nice kill though

 

yeah i know low hp, but 300 ft/lbs of torque! with head/cam/intake kit will yield 350hp/350tq :O



if i built another 2nd seven, its getting a bridgeported 3 rotor

 

let's do that man...^^ i like the sig. btw..kevin you still have that wannabe short shifter in your car? cause that's prolly why you missed..but im sure it was something else..

:AA:

 

nah it was me, just didn't time it right that's all.

 

not to kill your topic but you got lucky the 5.0 would win hands down againts a mild tuned N/A.

 

No doubt, I have raced them as they are a plenty in the boonies. A VAST majority of them are NOT stock, most of them have at the very least I/H/E and that little bit will wake up a 5.0.

I would chalk it up to mileage and poor maintence on the 5.0 driver, a friend of a friend got one with well over 200,000 miles on it (cant kill a good 5.0), took it to the dyno and it made 170 hp for a baseline. Today it has a supercharged 347 stroker that doesnt fit under the hood, and after getting the FI tuned pulled 650 ponies.

 

Yup. A properly running stock 5.0 would whoop a NA FC. Proving that the 5.0 is not an automatic convertible.

 

I dunno, they are supposed to be faster but I was always able to pull on them in my 90 GXL with headers. (On the highway and in 3rd gear only, they have a monster 2nd gear, the top of my 3rd would reel them in). Good run, be safe.

 

not that it will sway the people that beleive a mild tuned n/a would lose but the rear end I have is a 4:88 ratio

 

he was racing in a corners and not on in a straight line and with 4.88 gears shouldn't have any problems leaving that POS. good kill. 4.88 gears nice as hell

 

thanks I like the fact that the car accelerates so well now (with the 4:88) it sucked at the track when I couldn't break out of 4th. Can't wait to get the car to the track again and see how it does.

 

bah! mines setup for road race, I just finished rebuilding the rear-end so it really grabs out of the corners. ill have to put up a pic of mine when i get my camera back from the repair shop, I think you guys will give a nod of approval --slammed 5.0 with road race suspension.

 

nice i dragged a mild cammed bolt on 5.0 last week and beat him by A car hehe...
