My 1st race (kinda)

Well I know this may sound pretty weak but its the first time ive really "raced" a person.

Ok well i pull up to a light and this black Mustang pulls up next to me , it was one of those weak looking older ones. (before 2001) i think. So i revved my engine and stuff and looked over at him and smiled and pointed at teh light.

Well he just sorta looked away like...stupid kid. He was in early 30s prob. SO i figured he wasent gonna race. So as the light was about to trun he started to roll a little and then he took off, I was kinda took off guard but kinda not. So I spun mine a little , but not much and I caught him pretty quick and passed him and was very far ahead of him by around 60, like 6 cars or so...i dunno hard to tell. He might have given up after I blew his doors off right away.

I dunno even tho it was a weak car it still was fun.

I noticed you have aluminum drive shaft did you notice a big difference after you installed it?
If you have all that horsepower you need to plant it with a good set of Hodgkis lower control arms with a adjustable torque arm, and to keep the frame from flexing a set of Hodgkis subframe connectors.
