This race took place last july before I swapped engines
My friend's car:90 Mustang ex-cop, 5.0 5-speed, notchback, 3.08 rear, headers, straight pipes, aftermarket clutch, otherwise stock.

Mine: 86 Z28 TPI 305 auto, K&N's, gutted airbox's, TB bypass, no cat, aftermarket muffler, 3.23's, otherwise stock.

We raced 2 times from a stop to about 85mph. First race, he said he spun off the line and I have about 2-3 car lengths on him at 85.

2nd race, he heats up his tires first, and hooks up. I still get him out of the hole by a lot, then he slowly gains on me and is even with me when we let off at 85.

It was a good race, I'm pleased with how my 305 performed during it's last day in my car, thought it could have been ugly for me.

 

good race... sounds like that 305 runs pretty well. are you sure the stang had 3.08's in it??? i thought the ex cop mustans either had 3.55 or 3.73's. i could be wrond, though
