1 lonely Mustang called out by F-bodies
I live in a small town in Oklahoma of about 20,000. Most of the car enthusiests in my town drive F-bodies. I'm friends with most of them, and being that I am 1 of 2 GT owners in town that actually races their car I take a large amount of criticism owning something other than an F-body.
I get a phone call saying there is a kid with a new SS and another with an LT1 in town that wants a piece. We meet at the 'ol K-mart by the highway. 2 SS, 3 Z28, and 2 Trans-Ams pull up. Well, needless to say I have the best looking car. I could have let a sumo wrestler take a rhino sized dump on my car and it would still have looked better. That's beside the point. Back to the topic.
The LT1 Trans-Am auto has a best of 13.8 at the strip. His mods are exhaust, short throw, CAI. I have a 5-speed with mods in my sig.We race first. Goes something like this:
1st race: I miss 2nd. He wins by about a battle ship.
2nd race: I win by about a car. He claims "traction problems".
3rd race: I pass him with enough room to safely change into his lane. "He claims traction problems".
4th race: I win by a car and a half.
We go back to K-mart and he tells everyone he had traction problems. They watched from a bridge above the highway that we used as out 1/4 mile mark. Of course they were sympathetic to the F-body and agreed. Whatever...........I win.
Completely stock 6-speed SS wants a piece and wants to put $100 on it. I know he's got more car than me and will most likely win, and being that I'm not Scarface and don't keep a roll of dope money in my back pocket I agree to a $20 bet to be safe. His buddy was saying he can't drive at all. I could careless about excuses. Lets race. Goes like this.
1st race (money race): He dumps the clutch like a mad man and spins as I look like a cat on carpet coming off the line. He claims he misses 2nd and I beat him by half a car. 20 dolla holla! I hit up the dollar menu at McDonalds, but not before we raced again.
2nd race: He grips better this time and takes me by a car. Oh well, he still drives a fugly camaro and owes $13,000 on it.
He says that he's raced 5 other mustangs like mine with similar mods and I'm the only one he's seen keep up like that. I think he's full of crap because there aren't 5 mustangs in this town willing to race. In the end, I leave with dignity and a happy stomach thanks to his $20. Hope you enjoyed the story.

I live in Ada, OK. I'd say for the population of the town we have quite a few enthusiests down here. Even if they are mostly f-bods it's still a blast beating on a few of them.
Dollar menu action. McChicken and double cheeseburger ftw!
Glad ya'll enjoyed. Thanks for reading!

I used to live in Stroud before the May 3 tornado hit. I used to play golf with the owner of Sygma Co. They were in stroud and moved to Pryor when their plant was destroyed. I know it's random, but that's always what reminds me of Pryor. You ever go to thunder valley?
