I got one........... Pop your hood and pull about 4 plug wires off your distributor and then close your hood. You should be able to get plenty of traction now. <edited><editID>jhogan2424</editID><editDate>37942.938275463</editDate></edited>

a good set of upper and lowers a good suspension and a good set of tires all the key. you can hook on street tires but it is hard to do. its just easier to run DRs or a pair of ETstreets

You have a stock mustang, but you can be blown away off the line and then catch up and pass?<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">That doesnt make sence to me. Are these 4 cyl. stangs? Not to punk on you or anything, but I have a modified stang with twice the hp you have. I have a stiff suspension but can still control wheel spin.Its a matter of balance between throttle and clutch. Honestly you really should practice more.</P>
