I'll never forget the time we were comeing back from a car show in my dad's Comet and this guy in an Expedition of all things wanted to race. Yea, that was like ...Expedition... I didn't see any Expedition? We embarrased a Viper and several Corvettes over the years. Mustangs didn't stand a chance and ricers were just hilarious. The car only saw an actual drag strip twice. My dad didn't like all the crap it would spin up behind the wheels and underside of the car on the strip.
Some of my best race moments(some are off brand,please forgive); My old'78 Delta 88 w/older 455,2.41 gears.Beat 2 mildly modified 5.0 mustangs.It ran 9.60 1/8 's My '92 SHO taurus 5spd-beat several '92-older GTA trans ams & IROC camaros.Ran 9.81 1/8 best time.It was stock except intake silencer removed My '90 nissan pickup-bone stock.Had a load of wood in the back and this toyota pickup picks a race.I beat him in his empty truck in mine.He turned off shortly. My green 4dr mav-When it was sorta stock(original 302,'85 mustang intake/holley,3.55's,3spd on column)we beat up on it on test & tune.These guys used to HAUL in a '70's camaro w/open headers,stickers,etc.Well,my car ran 10.20's and they ran 10.40's,so I tried to get next to them whenever possible.Later on I sold the original stuff & put in a roller 302,c4 w/3500 stall.Went back and the same guys had stepped up the old camaro to 9.80's...and now I was running 9.20's!The next week i put 150 shot NOS on and...7.80!I ran a tubbed pinto at FFW in bristol one year(mid '90's)and I had the bottle on.He ran high 13's to my 12.42(1/4 mile),that was fun.
wanna hear somthing funny, i saw a 97 mustang that was chonged out. it was the funniest sound ever, imagin a 4.6 with a can on the rear, 3 inch VIS cowl hood, EURO lights, wide body kit and an Erector Spoiler, stock wheels. the dude tried to race me, and i just laughed till it hurt, he took off and i sat there LMAO. He finds me later in the night and askes y i didnt race him. i will have to get a pic. cause him and i are gonna light it up at the track. and his car is 4 or 5 different colors, each quarter panel is from a different car.
I tend to get frisky at stoplights. I have a 66 chevy pickup that I dropped a 454 in with a turbo 400 trans. Had the truck forever, and I drive it more than any old vehicle I own. Was at a stoplight with an 86 trans am next to me. The trans am was kinda laughing at my farmish looking truck. Light turned green and he gets into it, I nail it and pass him once we get thru the intersection. Once I know that he is toast I let off and then pulled over at the O'reillys I was goin to. He pulled in behind me and asked me to open the hood. His very gorgeous girlfriend was laughing her butt off. And I did beat a new stang Gt across an intersection this winter too. Soo much fun, I love threads like this. disclaimer,,,,,I have done none of the above ever Dan
me and my ex girl where on a back road in my 93 jimmy (4.3 vortec with just some bolt on mods mainly for off road) so we were talking and a 5.0 drives up real fast and starts honking and really annoys me and my girl so now im doing like 15 under just to tick him off (on hwy z in missouri 2 lane back road with 60 mph mph speed limit) so he of course hits the gas thinking he is bad ass and i wait till he is beside me then i hit the gas and stay beside him until a car comes the other way and he has to get behind me and we did this til the next turn off which was about 15 miles
these stories are great i remeber a while back me and my uncle were going to return the movie rentals when we stop at a stoplight then a civic pulls up to us and starts reving its most annoying car i've ever hered ,and my uncle doesnt even pay attention, then the light turns green and the civic smokes his tires and pulls up a head of us, i then turn to see my uncle has he was doing his normal driving then a second later my uncle passes him and i look back and the driver was all trying to go trough his gears and nothing,i was lmao. and my uncle never knew about it until i told him.My uncles truck was a stock 89 F-250 7.5 with over 200kon the motor... ......but these stories can have a bad ending about a year ago my cousin who is a ricer extremist had a....well i dont know what it was it was like half gti and half suburu, well one day he doing his normal stupid street racing and then when he gets to 80MPH his brakes fail and he hits a phone poll @ 80mph, he went into a coma for 3 months, he's ok now but he hasnt driven a car since that incident....
I had a similar experience with a friend in a camero, He hit a light pole as i watched in the other cars passenger seat. we were going about 103. He has recently recovered from his broken legs instuff. He just went out and bought a FIRECHICKEN witha T-TOP. I think he has learned his lesson
My Mav just lost to a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT.. 3 times The Hyundai is rated at 172 HP and 182 TQ and that one had an intake and exhaust.. And the Mav only has headers and dual exhaust, the rest is bone stock.. the hot air flap on the air cleaner snorkel never opened, that could be resticting some power .. the Tiburon didn't smoke me just got me by a car length from a rooling start at about 30 mph. I feel bad now.. need more POWER! haha
I did the same thing going to last years round up. I had the first time slip just not the one I wanted
Man, I don't know how many Civics I smoked in my mom's Taurus. Funniest thing you ever saw. And of course they would want to do it again at the next light. What, did I not give them enough of a head start last time? I know this Lincoln would put a serious whoopin' on one of them. :evilsmile
Tuners with a can are stupid. the only tuners i can realy say that are worthy of my respect are the SRT4 and the WRX. those are for certain reasons
