Pony 5.0

This past Saturday, 11/02/07, I had gone to my mechanic to pick my car up. He had replaced the upper and lower control arms and also installed Battle Boxes (yeah, I get on it once in awhile). There were two guys at his shop, one with a 93 GT and the other with a 92 notch. They both had 331's built by the same mechanic. The guy with the GT took me for a spin. Man, did that put a smile on my face! He hit 120 in 3rd and thatwas with 3.08's. I thought my Mustang moved okay but if we had been in a race, I would have seen tail lights all the way. He said he dyno'd out at 360 rwhp. I only have had experience with my Mustang, so feeling a fox body pull that hard was a pleasant surprise. I don't know how you guys with blown strokers can keep your car pointed in the right direction lol.

It's all is driver ability and how the suspension and tire combo is set up

Seeing my 4 year old son and 2 yr old daughter love it when I let go of the trans brake on street tires, priceless, would'nt do it with other tires,they are my life. to brake them in with HP, I'll pay when they can drive

Not 100% sure at this point, plan to get it all figured out over the winter. One thing is for sure though is that I want a car that I can drive on the street since it is going to be my dd during the nice weather, but one that is still fun to drive. A stroker kit is almost guaranteed though. But I still have a lot of research to do before I get in too deep.

Got a Jap car as a daily driver (2004 Altima 3.5 w/ chip,exhast and k-n-n filter) It cost money to go fast as an old street racer told me. Nothing is better then being in rush hour and having enough throttle to do what you do
