Just beat my first mustang today :)

[DeusEx]

Raced my first mustang today, for a good.. 10 secont stretch id say, light to light, being a guy who hates fords this was great for me, and when i got home i gave the little girl a kiss on the hood.
Couple punk kids were sitting in their red little mustang, had to mess around with them just a bit.. didnt think theyd go for the bait, but anyway, i squealed the tires a little even on the start by accident, and still got them real good..
It was pretty close for about the first 3 seconds, once it was getting up there in the gears, but after it got where it likes to be, it was all over, slowly started to see them drift further and further back in the rearview... Loved it, so far im 3 and 0... other 2 being local ricers, this is my first big accomplishment
But like i was saying, it was a bit close on the acceleration, what are some easy to install things i could bolt on without much of an effort, like rebuilding the tranny or anything like that... something fairly simple as im lacking both expearence and time...
Thanks a lot guys, just felt good and wanted to share..
Oh, if it matters, its a 92 RS

well, sorry I can't offer any acceleration tips but congrats on the kill!

[CamarosRsweet94]

ok 92 RS... What engine is in it? Manual or Automatic Trans? We can't help much unless you give us some information to go off of here...

[balls_to_the_wall]

I believe the basics are Exhaust and Intate as the first things....?

[DeusEx]

automatic, with overdrive, v8 of course...

Even if you can't do it yourself gears would probably be the best thing to put in.

I'll back up balls_to_the_wall to though because a good exhaust and intake system will make a world of difference.

Congrats on the kill too.

I am yet to take down a Mustang.
Well, other than a stupid chick in a V6. I didn't even run it over 3500 RPM's to beat that.

Most won't race. Never had a chance to race a 03/04 Cobra. That and my car isn't out that much.

[King Of Crunk]

mustang = pwned....good race

[tcfco2005]

sounds like he raced a v6 not a v8...cause i know my rs couldnt take no mustang when i first started..

[DeusEx]

nah, was a v8, when we got to the next light, he was impressed, didnt think it would take him, said he had (something made by ford) but it was a v8... asked what i had, he was pretty friendly, but still pretty pissed at the same time...

Goodjob on owning the Stang..

[tcfco2005]

wow...damn dude you got a bad ass 305...he probable had the 4.6 302

[NoRiceHere01]

not to chime in and be a butthead or anything lol. but a 4.6 is not a 302 at all. i had a 97 4.6 5spd wit 3.73 gears. it was by no means a beast but im not sure an RS like his would take it. sounds to me like u guys r right and hes got a real nice runnin 305 or that guy in the mustang is an idiot and cant drive. a 302 mustang is a completely different animal. im not a big 302 fan. and before u guys murder me id like to point out i am a chevy guy. o and Luos settle down hahaha. ur car will pretty much own 99% of all GTs ridin around. thats y they wont race, its not worth it. the cobra would be interesting tho...

ya your right sorry about that...i dont know much about stangs.a 4.6 is like a 280 or something like that.and what you said about the mustang driver being an idiot makes sense. i remember when my rs was stock i couldnt beat a v8 mustang. so either the guy couldnt drive, he had something wrong with his car, it was actually a v6, or he doesnt have a normal 305.

[philly rs]

i damn sure couldnt beat no gt when i was stock and my rs came faster than both of you alls did. maybe he had a sick horsy...awwww too bad. mustang races are fun for the main reason its a good old school race that keeps going through time. thats sweet u got u sum its always fun killing a pony, i do it all the time
