My car is all stock A4 with 2.73's. My friend's car is a 1986 Mustang GT with 3.55's, Flowmaster catback, and drop in filter. Last time we raced I beat him by about 1.5-2 cars from about 0-70 mph with me having one passenger and him having none. My best 1/4 is a 14.32 @ 97 mph. His best is a 15.0 @ 91 mph. Since our last race he has removed his silencer and bumped his timing.

We lined up from a dig and I gave it the three honks. He spun a bit and I hooked real well. I walked hard from the stop and then slowly pulled away. I ended up winning by about 2 cars up to about 95 mph.

It does seem that his car is running stronger than last time seeing as how I basically got rid of 150 lbs (passenger) this time, and he got beat by about the same amount even though we took it up to higher speeds. The LT1 is still a different animal than his car as of now though. Next up are Nittos, headers, pulleys, cold air, off road h-pipe, and a Mac catback instead of the flowmasters. Then we'll race again and see what happens. That might give him enough to beat me. Only time will tell!

 

cool

 

keep up the good work.. i like mustang kill stories

 

Will do! I had to make up for my last race where I lost to a heads/cam LX (few posts below).

 

Sounds like you had a better drive then the one I raced, put bus lenghts on him.

 

What were your mods when you ran him?

 

hands down camaros kill the 80 and 90's mustangs. My lt1 still either beats or looses by a fender to a new gt.

 

Yeah, stock for stock even my slow LT1 will beat them. Only takes a few mods and a good driver to make them run real well though.

 

Hey LT1's still have fangs!!!

 

Ouch, the fronts look nice but my little 2v hasn't yet seen their rears.

 

Tell your friend to trade off his heads. The '86 GT has GARBAGE heads that choke it down. Even if he changed those, he still will get beat but it would be by 2 cars instead of 2.5 cars I wish I could find an old school 5.0 that I could kick around.
