Ok, so i finally tested the car for 0-60...i got a buddy to sit in the car with a stop watch and we went nuts in a parking lot, did the run 3 times and took the average, first 5.3, second was 5.5, third was 5.4. My car is so quick, i love it!
I would also like to take the opportunity to tell everyone i've quit smoking for 10 days now.
The low profile tires are gone. It's too much of a hassle to have a car sitting 3 inches from the ground when it's 15 feet long and has a 5 inch speedbump to deal with! (the car is ok, it was just scary)
I also wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for more mods i can do to the car...i won 3 grand in a raffle lottery at a ritzy party Friday night and the car needs more things. Any suggestions? I want to toss on another 20 horses and add another 30 lb/ft of torque.
Finally, the biggest news...i'm heading back to Calgary from Toronto as we speak, (left the other day and have stopped at a cousin's now) and on the way i just happened to pass a 5 litre stang. It was about a '92 or so i'd say...dark blue with fat chrome tail pipes.
Anyways, so i get next to the car and the guy driving is in this 30s or so, with aviator sunglasses. He looked like he'd be one to run against, so i tapped the horn and gestured. He nodded and held up his hand:
3......2......1
We were off. Started at 120km/h or so, so it was an interesting race. We both took off about the same time, though i had a bit of a jump cuz he had to downshift. I led him by about 5 feet to 180 and he backed off. I slowed down to a regular 110 and he cruised by with the thumbs up. It was a good race. I was surprised he kept up as well as he did tho, i think he may have done some work on it.
