So, haven't posted a story in a while, but i thought this one mite qualify to actually read. so here goes...
i was jus cruisin on 405 over to the casino (18 an older one), an i've gotta couple of friens in the car when a late 90's Ford Contour SVT pulls up beside me. its obvious he wants a race (the guy is rev'n the shit outta his motor an jumping ahead etc...), so i figure why not an wait for him to drop it an then go into 3rd.
it was from about 75, so i pull about 1/4 of a car through 3rd up til about 86, shift, an then pull a couple inches more up to 110, then his top end takes over.
my car is dead after 110, so he pulls even an slowly gets about 1/4 of a car ahead of me. we both see its not gonna change, so we slow down to 70. i roll down the window, throw him the thumbs up an then jus cruise off.
btw...it was jus him in his car, the road was clear ahead of us an the ppl with me were a couple of guys who both street race as well.
so there's a loss for the ol' teg :biggrin:

Nope, not even close.
Similar power-to-weight ratios, same badge, but the underpinnings are all different.
Th original SHO had a 200HP Suzuki 6 in it, later changing to a 220HP V8, while the Contour, based off of the European Mondeo, has a 200HP Duratec V6, that Cosworth had a hand in developing.

Yeah Mustangs are slow, especially those 94 Cobras with the 5.0L's.

Yup. thats why I have my flashers on when driving, dont want to get run over by mopeds and those fast scooters, and sometimes ten year olds on bikes give me some trouble.
But, owell once I get my Vtech portable phone installed I will be kicking rear.

Propper placement of the badge is crucial to obtaing max HP. Make sure you get exact measurements allowing for scale difference between an s-10 and a f-150

Dude.. I'm pretty sure Type R stickers dont work all that well on Sunbirds. I do hear very very good things about Nismo stickers though.

You guys are right mustangs are pretty gay.
Anyways you probably would have beaten him if it was just you in your car.
How much do you guys think type R stickers would give my 91 mustang?

No no no you can't go with Type R badges on a Mustang. That makes you lose horsepower! You gotta go with GTR, and make sure the R is big and red enough for maximum horsepower.

I actually saw a newer mustang with the GT-R badge on it. I dont even think it was an actual GT. I did have a Cobra R wing on it though. Too bad the idiot didnt just try and pose it as a Cobra R.

So I guess I should take off the nismo sticker from my V6... I heard there was a problem converting import/domestic badges, like I needed a kit form suprastore.com or soemthing... couldn't just stick it in the oven like everything else, I think a guy named Hmongstang told me once. I thought he was just messin with me too!
I'll put the 5.0 badge back on. That'll make me feel better.
