get rid of it and quit whining.

as to beating the srt-10 truck i think its obvious he either didnt know how to drive, didnt push the truck hard enough, or something along those lines. cause they have what 500 hp? and a 6sp manual trans. (if its indeed a standard cab)

So where's the part where you diss on Ford for not being able to beat it? I'm confused...
Oh pfft, I dislike my car, but I give credit where it is due. I just dont know WHAT THE HELL made it possible for me to hang w/him. PS, I like ford over dodge.
Why do you dislike your car?
It is a mustang almost as old as I am. It has turned to ****.

The steering column smokes when the AC is on high, the fog lamp switch sometimes kills the headlights and ALWAYS overheats (replaced already) the AC keeps going out (switch, replaced already), the water pump dies every 20K miles, it rattles 100X worse than my 95 F-body with as many miles and the 5.0 even has subframes, the brights turn off the headlights when flicked on, the motor running interferes with the sterio, it handles POORLY, man, I really could go on. It is also a piece of **** motor according to everyone on this board even though nothing is wrong with it they are convinced that my crate motor is somehow defective. Compression is great, on and on and on, but oh no...it should have WAY more than 244whp, lol. whatever they think I guess.

The only thing that has gone wrong on my hatchback so far is that the radiator sprung a small leak, easy $150 fix for a brand new 3 row radiator, can you get a radiator that cheap for a F-bod?

13.3@105+ over-rated?
Umm... No. That's BS. There was at least two dozen of them at the Mopar Nats. and the fastest I think was 14.2 @ 95ish, they don't got nothin. It's a truck. It probably weighs 5000+ lbs

I think I just hung with him, he quite obviously had it in the right gear by the engine note when we were running it. What technique should he have used? rocking back and forth in his seat...? Would that have put a car or 2 on me?

Hrmmm, road and track got mid 13's@105 out of one. That is with someone who has driven the vehicle for one day. Think of what an owner could do in a few months of practice? A few have hit high 12's bone stock and a LOT are in the 12's with minor mods at a good track with a practiced driver.

That is possible, but all 4 pulls were within 10whp of each other. It could have been an "off" day though, I dunno. I pulled 1.5 cars on a 05+ GT A5 car from 70-100 on the way home though and with my 3500# weight and 244whp, that sounds dead on.
