Some of the guys from our club and I met up with the Central Virginia Mustang Club tonight for a cruise to one of the local cruise-ins. On our way there, I got up beside some friends of mine from CVMC in their '88 ex-police car notch. It's a 5 speed with 3.73's, Cobra intake, E-cam, cold air, pullies, 1 5/8" shorties, flowmaster cat back, and a hurst shifter. I've driven it before and it's a pretty stout ride. Anyway, back to the story...I got up beside Bill at about 45 mph and he looks over with a grin on his face so I knew what was about to happen. We both downshifted and he punched it right before I did. I hung beside him for a few seconds, then dropped the hammer and...see ya! I put a few cars on him and shut down at the top of 2nd. When we finally got to the cruise-in his wife says to me "how do we get the front end of our car to lift way up like yours does?" :lala:

Life begins with 4.10's and drag radials

 

And heaven begins with a SBC. Nice kill.

 

damn good comeback Mark!

 

i hate you Nic, your car is too fast , lol just kidding . Good Race

 

I beat a blonde in a prelude tonight...does that count as a race story?

Lol...good run

 

I wish my car would lift the fruntend well mabey it will some day.

 

Thats the beauty of the 5.0. In near stock form with suspension and tires they can lift the tires off the ground.

Take my word, I can't (yet) but my dad was told he has got the left front off, and only at 3500 launches with a stock front suspension. With the struts, and springs, we will have some stories!!!

100% stock motor=WHEELIES

Life begins right there!

 

I wish my car would lift the front end, well maybe it will some day.

 

yep...this was my 'vert with a bone stock motor, 2400 stall converter, and a few suspension mods...



And this is my current car...doesn't transfer weight anywhere near as well as it did with the 4 cyl. springs on it...not sure if this was on the way up or down...

 

i can lift the front end in my bike

any gear upto 3rd ...all i have to do is give it more throttle

wish i could do it in my car...

 

oneday I'll be able to do this:

edit: my server is being gay

 

I would like to keep my front tires on the ground .... so i can steer and stuff!!!

 

Steering is for sissies.

 

The funny part is if you put 10 holes, and a stock hood (if it would fit on that car) it would look 100% stock. Man I love these cars, a sleeper that can pull all 4 wheels in the air.

 

That's my goal...look bone stock and run 10's on drag radials in street trim

 

All I have to say is LEE HOWIE!!!

 

Lee's the man!

 

Yep..




Who's Lee?

 

Buddy Lee! The Jeans dude!

 

Lee Howie...the 8 second street driven 5.0 (306).

 

306, TE-90 Precision Turbo, and 8.30s at 171 on street tires!!!

The car looks stock, except for a 1.5" hood, and bigs and littles!!! The ultimate Mustang in my eyes!

 

Ahh, we got a 69 or 68 Camaro in the county that is streetable that runs 8s. It's got a 1071 blower 355 SBC.

 

Sweet!

 

I love huge blowers and turboes, but Howie is still the man, looks stock, goes 8s, and all of that in ONLY 306 street legal Cubes.

Oh before each event, they run a 30 mile cruise, and then race. Between rounds there is no touching the car, and all of this on a DOT tire! He averaged an 8.39 at 171 at the last event he was at!

 

Nice Kill! I'm just here to test my sig though...

 

Nice car! Those Z-28 style rims realy sets it off!
