I had my Mustang out on Wed,I was feeling good.I allways love driving in my car.This old pulls up next to my at a stop light.in a dark blue viper gts,big rims side pipes.It looked good and sounded better.He rev,s alittle and takes off towars the next stoplight.I stay right next to him,knowing that my car is going all out just to keep up.At the next light he gives a little look at me and rev's it again.This time we are on.The light gose green, I hit it, tires spinning,engine reving.By the time we cross the intersection he's a good two cars ahead of me.By the next stop light it was like I was not even racing him.The old guy looks over at me and he's laughing and gives me a thumbs down.I dont hate losing a race, its losing to a prick that makes me so MAD.

Ron 'fraid you and Sam both are doomed to an eternity of losing similar races unless the gears change, or you swap in a very,very large engine (think Allison V12 )

Ron, what's really fun is when you swap gears, beat Viperman, and at the next light when he catches up you say "...and I saved $70,000, too!" ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip '97 Probe GTS 2.5L DOHC My Photo Page I only want two things from life: I want patience and I WANT IT NOW!!!

Next time,feel free to trade a little paint with him. Have a couple cans of rattle can primer black in the car,and touch up what was scraped before the cops come. Then YOU can give him the thumbs up! I can't wait until the road warrior games start. Boy,will I have some fun!

Hell! Get a WD-4o nozzle and stem, put it on a spray can and mess up HIS paint job. Chrome yellow would look great!! LMAO!! My ol' 62 Vette had the smalles 327 and a 2 speed glide. One night, a guy pulled up in an 80 something Vette{they were dogs then. He revved up at the light, the light turned green, with arm on sill took off and whipped his sorry a** I extended my arm and didn't give him my thumb, but my middle finger, slowed up, motioned him to come along side and he never did! LOL! One older man triumphed!!

Hey, at least he acknowledged you. Last time I tried to race a viper the diver wouldn't even expend the energy to look at me. Not that I would have had a snowball's chance in hell of keeping up, but I wanted to see that baby roll!

Fastymz, now that I think about it, I have one better. I just looked at your car, so I have a new suggestion for you. Next time someone like that comes up along side and wants a piece of your ole' 65, casually turn and look at them as if they must be completely out of their minds. Even if it isn't, your car looks like alot of the pro-street 10sec cars in my area(they all have the black primer, look etc). Give it a shot. Don't fall victim to loosing a race again, if you give them the look correctly they'll feel like tards for even trying it. I just hope your car has the idle to back up "The Look". I do it to hondas around here from time to time, and it really does work. It's a riot, I suggest you try it .------------------ -FISHTAIL 92GT "The Ghetto Sled" CMPS major @ University of MD college park Best ET/MPH thus far: 14.40/100.67mph....damn wheel spin.

Fishtail,I do know what you mean.No the car dose not sound as BAD as it should.I have a stock cam.I know the look your talking about I do it to the local rices too.I love to race, so I'll always go no matter what.I even race the real pro street guys around here.Some times if you let the other take off and just sit there,then at the next lite give him the look.That works good too.Ron I like to race but hate to lose to an A$$. ------------------ 65 Coupe with a 351w, RPM intake,carter625,shorty 1-5/8 headers,2.5 exhaust,Flowmasters,Black Magic electric fan,stock C4,peg leg 8" 2:80,Big Boss 429 hood scoop,Cragers SS,Black Suede finish. https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Fastymz.html
