GTStang, i now where brockton is. I go to the junkyard there all the time. I also heard that people race there too. You go there. I really don't have race material yet, maybe you could help me...

Really guys, on the street, to you honestly go mod for mod??? does a civic scare you if its not stock???? real racers run what they brung, faster is faster, the supercharged 354 is on an equil level with the 454, a supercharger makes an engine think its larger than it is, so its not giving him an advantage, its simply leveling the playing feild. anybody here only go out and play when they have a distinct advantage??? wheres the risk, wheres the fun? I may only do money runs when i know i have a chance of winning, or when i know im going to win, im not stupid, but im not going to say ill only race cars with the same number or fewer mods as my car. GTstang is bringing up good points, and so are you guys, but its nothing worth cursing, name calling, or all this arguing. debate is fine, lets keep the car talk up and disagreements flying, but lets keep it civil.

Very nice, I do have to say though..I got owned a couple of weeks ago by a Dodge Ram Hemi..man that thing took off.. Oh well a 150 HP difference, so I accepted the ass beating.

(What the hell is N/A???)

You are such an i... (takes a deep breath...feathers SLIGHTLY ruffled.)

Let me put it into terms that I can explain. I say "I have a twelve gauge shotgun made by Beretta that's is as deadly as sin". And you say "oh yeah, well I have a Persian nuclear bomb that will kick it's ass, oh don't you feel stupid, you suck, I'm cooler than you." Moron argument.

I fail to see the comparison. If a 454 basically is the same as a 429, if 25-50 horses ain't that big a deal to you then fine, bring your Boss 429 up here and put your money where your mouth is. I'll buy your dinner and drinks if you beat me (this is after I get it corrected).

I am not calling you stupid, I'm not saying you're an asshole, my maro may not impress you, but there are VERY few mustangs that impress me (thought about it, only one comes to mind). Especially since the majority of guys that drive mustangs like to make incomprehensible arguments about how their $30,000 machine is better, and faster than anyone else's $30,000 machine when their mustangs are really nothing more than a friggin orange crate with a rocket duck taped to it.

Come back with a rational argument and lets talk. Enough of the "My boss has more money and has bigger balls than you" childishness.

Earl I came in here just stated the current situation my Stang is in and make a small joke about Camaros but also busting my own and cars balls at the same time.

Then you came in wit oh my 454 can take on the world and how I should bow down to it and all Mustangs should live in live in fear of it. So i just told you that I have personally worked on and seen two Mustangs that can handle your car and the one I owned probably would too. And this is def not saying that there is not Camaros that are as fast or faster. Cause I totally agree anything can be made fast if you put money into it.

And all of your it your mod for mod thing is as crazy as trying to say well all cars are stock. Everybody mods their cars in different ways to achieve something. You chose to go big block other guys go turbos, S/C, nitrous, I/H/C, the choices are limitless. If someone spent more money or went a better route and made their car faster than yours get over it.

i can just feel the love in here.

I attended a local Mustang show this past weekend and saw a lot of cool cars. I know one of the late model guys and he had his car at the show. It is a '03 Cobra in that whatever yellow they use(zinc maybe?). He was talking to some other people about his mods and power.....it was CRAZY! He has all of the normal bolt-ons and some supercharger tricks too I think. He said he just got it dynoed out at 470 rwhp. This guy isn't a bullshiter either, he is a pure-blood drag racer. He said that one time he was doing a burnout in his work parking lot, and even after he let off the gas the tires refused to stop turning for about a second or two. Personally, that would scare the shit out of me, but I guess he is used to it. Anyway, alot of cars are fast, and it really doesn't matter if it is a stock-headed LS1 running 10's, or a stock headed Mustang with 470 rwhp. They are all our pride and joy, and are what make such a great hobby.

Said perfectly.

The only reason I mentioned the LS1, is they seemed to be heading towards an N/A cube fight. 346 cubes, naturally aspirated and in the 10's.
When it comes down to it though, it doesn't make a BIT of difference what is used to make the power, as long as it makes it.

And a 470 RWHP Cobra?? Sounds like the usual bolt-ons and a pulley. That is all it takes. I have a love-hate relationship with those cars. I mean....they are badass and can make some crazy numbers quick, but on the other hand, they are the rival Mustang.

[89IROC&RS]

for me it just comes down to color, i like red over blue











for those who dont know, chevy racing is a red bowtie, ford is a blue oval

Like I said 99% of my posts are not serious, I'm probably the least mechanically inclined person on the whole forum (except for maybe some of the import guys ). Read the rest of my posts, and THEN tell me how ignorant I was being. I misinterpreted yours, you misinterpreted mine, no harm no foul. I haven't raced anyone in my maro, no one seems to want to, except my friend with an 03 Cobra estimated at 520-ish HP (not sure bhp or rwhp), and that won't happen until I get it straightened out. On the other hand TONS of import guys wanted race my Z71... pointless. (Also have a friend with a 86? Lotus, and a replica 427 Cobra that wants to go... but thats just for fun.)

Dude, quit trying to get under my skin, I'm only having fun, trying to get my maro proper and trying to help some people out if I can.

PS - It JIM, Earl's my dog.

[Rally Sport]
