Not Bad: Vr4 Vs Mustang 5.0

[youngvr4]

I'M ON I-5 ON MY WAY TO MY GIRLS HOUSE AND AS I'M DRIVING LISTENING TO METHODMAN A 2ND GEN MR-2 A CIVIC SI AND A MUSTANG 5.0(THAT SOUNDED PRETTY MEAN) ALL CAME UP BEHIND ME.
FUNNY THING IS, I DONT THINK ANY OF THEM WERE WITH EACHOTHER, WE JUST KINDA HAPPEND TO BE ALL IN ONE BUNCH.
WELL THE MUSTNAG MADE THE FIRST MOVE AND I FOLLOW THE MR-2 AND THE CIVIC ARE BEHIND ME. WE SWERVE THROUGH TRAFFIC EVENTAULY LEAVING THE MR-2 AND CIVIC BEHIND.
SO I GET DIRECTLY BEHIND THE MUSTANG TURN DOWN THE METHODMAN, ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND POP UP THE LIGHTS, AND THE MUSTANG KNOWS ITS TIME.
HE DOWNSHIFTS AND SO DO I ABOUT A SECOND AFTER.
HE PULLS A CAR LENGTH AHEAD OF ME AND HEAR I COME PULLING BACK MY LENGTHS AND GOING LIKE ARNOLD PLAYING TUG-A-WAR WITH DANNY DAVIDO(IT REALLY WASN'T THAT BAD, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT) I PULL A CAR LENGTH IN FRONT AND SHIFT EARLY TO 4TH.
I'M STILL PULLING AND BY THE TIME WE REACHED 130MPH I SHUT DOWN AS I WAS 2 AND A HALF CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF HIM.
I GOT NEXT TO HIM AND GAVE HIM A THUMBS UP AND HE GAVE ME THE NOD AND OFF I WENT

You said you downshifted, does that mean the tranny is fixed?

Nice kill BTW.

[youngvr4]

no, i can downshift to 3rd if i'm at 70mph, thirf isn't that bad. but if i was at like 60mph i wouldn't be able to downshift to 2nd. it should be sone by next friday

[96TSi]

[GTStang]

it's the GTO in the pic

A little off-topic, but bear with me.

I just drove a manual 5.0 mustang the other day, and those things put out an impressive amount of torque stock...it was hard to believe that they run low 15's stock. I actually wouldn't mind picking up one of those to play with, once I fall into some cash.

K back on-topic: Nice race, I love it when everything falls in place perfectly by random chance like that...like when you pull up to a stoplight 4 lanes wide with three other cars revving....

[kman10587]

Hehe, yeah, there aren't many cars out there that give you 300 torque out of the box and cost less than $5000

The low 15's happens a lot cause of auto's and 100,000 mile plus 5.0's everywhere. If you had a stick with a good low mileage 87-93 5.0 you'd be down near the mid 14's with some practice launching.


Also I think he said GTO cause 3000GT VR4's are called that in Japan and Europe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when they were new, they were tested at mid-to-low 15's with some high 15's.

Not saying they're not capable of mid 14's, but the "mileage" excuse was kinda bothering me, especially since my low-15 second car has never had a problem with a stock one, and my car has over 125K itself.

Now an LX 5.0, on the other hand...

You are correct sir, and with the placement of the steering wheel on that picture, I would say that it is a GTO.
