Destroyed some kinda 05+ FI Stang

Yea, I was at the track the other night and pretty well destroyed some Supercharged 05+ mustang with a body kit and some fancy rims. There were a few more Stang's there but they didn't want to race after that.

I did get beat by a LS1 TA though.

(Don't worry Terminator Zealots there were none there to be had)

A kill is a kill. Nicely done.

What times were you running? Do you know what was done to the TA?

EDIT: also, I hate it when people won't race just because they're afraid of losing, when there's nothing riding on the race but pride / bragging rights.

Its an 1/8th mile track but, any were from 7.3-7.4. I think the TA just had more cam, more head, ehhhh basically more motor. Makes me want to do a LSX build

And for the record I am not a bully.

I've run into many people who won't race unless it's a guaranteed blowout for them. If it might be close they won't do it just so they won't have a loss. That way they get to claim "unbeaten".

I've run my best times against faster cars. I guess it makes me drive better or concentrate more, even if I don't get the win light.

I love the thrill of the race. I've raced next to 8- and 9-second cars. Those are a little less fun, because it seems like they're halfway down the track by the time I get to the 60' lights, but it's still fun.

My favorite is to race cars that launch better than I do but don't have as much top-end. Chasing them down on the top end of the track is good fun.

I love those guys. I love their excuses when I call them out in front of their friends even more.

Good kill


I never even pay attention to the car next to me. Running in the Mod class is much different from racing in the Street class.

I know what you mean. I bracket race a good bit, and I end up racing 5 and 6 second cars all the time. (1/8th mile times)
