Okay I have a 93 lx hatch with a gt-40 crate motor and a few other items under the hood. Witout spay I am pushing 370 HP or better ! I can dust any P.O.S. chevy or rice rocket crap I come up on. BUt lets talk about another engine . My father has a 1966 Fastback 2+2 289 HI-PO. The engine was rebuilt back in 98 by him and myself. with all orginal Ford parts. So last nigth he drives the old stang to the house for christmas dinner. I start making fun of him and his 40 year old car cause he just turned 60. He says let do it then son. SO we did it old school 1/4 mile two lane road 1 pass with a flag start. I launhed at 3500 and he lauched at 7000 yea that right 7000 RPM. He had 2 links on me comin out of first I shifted at 5000 and he wound the old 289 up too 8000 before shifting every time. At the end of the rin all I ever saw was his bumper 8 links in front of me and his middle finger out the window.

SO HERE'S TO OLD SCHOOL STANGS AND THE OLD TIMERS THAT MADE THEM GREAT

I had my *** handed to me by a 60 year old man

My dad had an f100 ranger 4x4 with an old FE 390 in it that could spank most mustangs. It had about 450 horse. This thing was a monster. He used to sand drag it and it ran around on 37's!
