'83 280zxt vs '03 Mustang V6

Hey all,

I finally got a chance to race my friend in his new '03 V6 Mustang (auto :() I was pulling out of my work and heard a honk... I look in the rearview mirror and see my friend pull up next to me. I told him to follow, and we went and found a decent section of road that was pretty straight, with a curve at the end... I told him on three honks we would race to the intersection a couple hundred feet ahead. (not a real intersection, just a spot with a left turn lane and a side road connecting to the road we were on.)

Anyways, I hold the revs somewhere around 2-3k, and honk three times, drop the clutch on the third honk and hear a lot of tire squeal (his car and mine)

My tires caught and I pulled half a car on him in first, shift to second and he slips a bit further back, shift to third and he starts pulling on me a tiny bit, shift to fourth and he slips back more.

After I hit fourth, we had passed the little intersection, and were at the curve in the road. After we had passed through the curve, I got on the brakes and stopped.

He rolls up and says "you smoked me" with a huge grin on his face... it was fun. I ask if he wants to go again and he says no.

I said ok, and flipped a bitch (lighting up my tires on the U-Turn :p) He follows and does a little flyby as im just cruisin now.

He stops at a red light, and I pull up next to him, we decided to go again and I rev to 1800... light goes green, I drop the clutch, tires chirp, then catch, engine bogs, he takes off, I made up a little of the distance when the turbo kicked in, but decided that I had already lost and gave up...

Now he tells me today he wants to race again, I say "For slips?" He says "No Way", so I told him I would go for $50... he agreed, but I don't know if I wanna :)

Sorry for the novel, but I haven't had a real race in such a long time :D

haah cool story.. i dont mind length as long as its good...

I hate the ones that are like...

"I have a car, its got a motor that revs nice. I raced a friend and won.. what you guys think i should do to my car next?"

yah, ,good story

I say, go for the 50, but practice first and buy yourself a new clutch with it! That way you can race without worry of detonating it. :D

I drove a friends 00 mustang v6, and was not impressed. It was slower then my brothers 95 v6 with a couple mods. Dont bet the $50, make it a $100.

yes.. good i am... persuasive i be...

Me - so you want to race him for $50?
Him - yeah.. not sure if i'll win though.
Me - you will win.
Him - you think?
Me - no doubt about it... up the stakes.. $100
Him - nahh
Me - look at his car... its extra old. New always beats old.
Him - hmmm.
Me - hey! race him for pinks, that would be cool... you could sell it!
Him - hmmm.
Me - You CAN WIN! *points finger at him*
Him - really.. you think?
Me - You CAN WIN! *points finger at him*
Him - hmm maybe i can.
Me - You CAN WIN! *points finger at him*
Him - hey.. i probably can!
Me - You CAN WIN! *points finger at him*
Him - Yes I WILL! *runs off screaming he'll win*


Me - ... that went faster than expected...

Hmm, 100 is a lot of money for me at the moment since I'm trying to move out... I'll see if he wants to go for it tho :)

Another friend at work wanted to race me in his friends '91 240sx w/exhaust for slips... I took him and his friend for a ride in my car and they changed their minds :p

Too bad eh?

i drove my friend's 01 v6 vert stang(slushbox) and i was freaking amazed! it chirped second gear like nothing! all you do is floor it, shift it up to 2nd.. and brrp! it was cool.

yeah if you manuely shift some auto's they will chirp goin to second. my friend's 90 accord does that too. i'm amazed that the fucker can chirp its tires. lolz

I have already raced my brother a couple times, he wont put any money on it.:confused: Got a video of one, just need to get the stuff to put it on the computer. Redneck you are good!

oh.. i never experienced any not-so-beefy car like a v6 stang to chirp the tires into second.. my mom's 01 v6 accord certainly doesnt.

i've never seen a v6 stang chirp them, unless you count them powerbraking it...

My brothers 5-speed v6 mustang chirps them in second. I can vouch for that, since the car use to be mine.

what we meant was the automatic versions. what my friends do is manuelly shift them. and since he has shitty tires. it will chirp goin into second.

the tires are stock, but the thing still chirps pretty hard! pretty amazing. haha

if the tires are bald I cansee it

bty, doing that with an auto is no different than a manual, except your minus like, 20 torque

nah, no tire baldness..

Alright! Chalk up another win for the 80's cars! Hehehee:frog:

I'd bet him $40 (getting two twenties out of an ATM is easier than finding a fifty lying aorund). Anyway, do it soon before he learns some new shifting techniques on his car!

Peace :bandit:

I guess I could bet him $100... 5 twenties is easy to get out... I need to make some money off this heap before it craps out... :)

go for it. I'd put my money on you.

My friends like 89 been-through-a-war truck doesn't chirp, the damn thing squeels like a pig being raped. It's terrible and even worse. they squeel, squeel and squeel and then they catch and he goes the exact same speed. oh well, he gets a 91 talon this weekend so he's happy.
