Well the Ford lovers event was great, I had lots of fun. I ran a new best of 12.1 @111.7 with a 1.65 60'. At this rate next time out I will be in the 11s. I need to ad some mods, so I can get some more power first(I want 113mph). But I hope I can get it to 11.99 before the Ford vs. Chevy event.
I have to say there is nothing like watching some good old FE powered Fords out there tearing it up.
My wife went 13.3 in the Lightning and my freind Ed went 13.6 for his new record time too.
All in all it was a great day.

Dam i wish i was there.. im all about the FE's as my first car was a 67 GTA fastback with a 390. Glad to hear you guys did well.

I will order some new tires this week you just get ready, because I don't want any more excuses after I pay a few hundred dollars for new tires just to race you.
Now this meand you will still have 3-5mph on my car, so if I win this race you will officaly be the tipical 03 cobra owner. Super fast car just not quick enough to keep up.
BTW how is your packing going. I just remembered that my dad has a trailer we can use too. So you might be able to get away with renting a small U Haul. Maybe Justin can use his dads truck too, and tow Nicks trailer also. Then you might not need to rent any kind of U Haul. Just a thought.

Just get steve's old DR's, and we'll be good. My Nittos are about shot anyways.

And let's not talk about your inherit advantages. Lighter weight and torque converter.

If you win this race? Don't dream. You won't. Oh, and no VHT. It's funny when I think I'm racing somebody and the opponent starts to squirt down the street. No matter, I usually win anyways. At least against that red brick. Even with you on slicks AND vht!

There's only one mustang I have a problem beating. And that's that crazy fucker perry.

Thanks for the offer about moving, don. That's a wonderful suggestion. I'll be booking a uhaul next week, so we'll see exactly what the price differences are. If it's only a couple of bux, I'll just get a big one. If it's substantial, I'll be calling you guys up on that.

I'm trying to get the move done early in the morning that saturday. I'd like to have the uhaul all packed up and ready to go. It's a long drive for you guys back, and we need to be done at a decent time.

There's a really nice park on the water there. I'm thinking of hosting a BBQ afterwards. It'll be fun.

I would hope you think you are going to win you have all the advantages now, also I knew you would start with the weight thing.
BTW Justin weighed his car at the track and it was less then mine. He only weighs in at 3080 with his back seat and passenger out and mine weighs in at 3140. I thought the 5.0s are supposed to be super light. Guess that only applies to the LX 5 speed. O well I am still 500lbs lighter then you. That is the only thing I have going for me right now, seeing as how I am down 100hp to you.
I would like to see how much your wife's car weighs at the track since it should be less then Justin's car when he is fully dressed. BTW Ed's car was 32XX full weight.
No wonder the Machs are so fast, I bet they are in the 3100-3200 range.( I am looking at the Red one at Manteca Ford) Boy would that look good in my driveway.
When do you want to race before you move or after you get settled in?

It is the Mach of my dreams, RED!
I might be able to get it cheap too.(Trade In)
It is a used 03 with 5800 miles.
If they will sell it in the $16000-$17000 range I will most likely go for it.

Perry says he has a freind with a new Mach that has a 150 shot on it. I bet he wants to play with us next time out.

Have you decided on what pulley you are going to get? I noticed that the heat exchangers are getting more and more reasonable. I am thinking of doing a Apten+heat exchanger(chip reburn) for the L, and just leaving it at + 2lbs instead of buying another pulley. I still have to fix all the sparkplug holes from fords we only need two treads idea on the 2v heads. So I though sence I might have to take the blower off to get the tool in the holes easier that I might as well send it off to apten.

It's OK Jay keep telling yourself that. Next you will want to race a standing mile on the freeway. I have started a new goal just for your rules(this time the goal in for MPH not ET) . I have decided that victory pipe will be much sweeter that way. It is kinda like when all the couples come over, and we play a board game, boys against girls. We always play with our wife's stupid extra rules, so they feel good about them selves. That is until the game is over and they lost anyway. It is easier to do it their way instead of listening to them bitch the whole time.

New rules would be nice. I'll use solid fuel rocket boosters. And if you don't have any, too bad. You're a pussy. Rocket boosters make me faster, and that makes me a better driver.

Only real man use solid axles so we don't have to worry about half shafts .
