Default I love my V6, specially when I beat GT's

Alright so I havent posted my races in a while. But I have had alot in the past year. I will just post two of them, they are the most recent. Ok so the first one there was a kid that is a friend of a friend either way straight to the point, he has a 1990 Mark VII LSC with a 5.0 full exhaust, Racing automatic transmission with 2200 stall conv. and a 80w coil and CAI, he was trying to tell me how he so commonly beats Mustangs and yes he tells me he beats 99-04 GT's So he walks up to my SWEET looking car which looks like a Mach 1 and a GT mix just plain nice IMO and he says smells like a 4.6 I agreed and offered to race him. We raced several times all along with me beating him by 4-5 cars approx. yes I dominated him from both a roll and a dig. Then when we got back to my house I decided to let him know that it WASNT a GT and it is just a 3.8 V6 with minimal mods being GT take off exhaust, Short throw, CAI, and a tuner. He couldnt believe it. ONTO MY NEXT AND SWEETER RACE.

So this time it wasnt a set up race and it was well there is a GT and I am gonna mess with him. So anyways it was a 94-95 GTS so it was a lighter GT with the same drivetrain. Anyways I was antaganizing him and he decided to drop it and get the run on me so I drop it "mind you he got the run on me" and I stop him in his tracks then I shift into 4th and I pull tight to his rear bumper and had to let off to keep from rear ending him. So then we continue to play. All in all from a roll I beat him with his front bumper being at my rear and from a dig up to 60 I beat him with his front bumper being at the middle of my pass door. Then we pulled over and talked. I was like nice car what all do you have done and he asked me what year mine was and I said 2000 then he says o so you have the good 4.6 and I said ummmm what all do you have done and he tells me he has full exhaust being long tubes and flows. Also he has CAI and a short throw shifter YES IT WAS A MANUAL. then I decided to tell him that mine was just a 3.8 V6 he wouldnt believe me but then he eventually did. I had the same mods during this race as what I stated above.

i love when they brag. that things a tank with a mustang 5.0 in it basically. gt though probably because of year but seems like a pretty nice tune though. good kills though.

the plugs are like $3. a piece and yes the spare is weight in road racing 10lbs is a 1/10 of a second. I have my trunk stripped and no spare also I dont carry anymore in the car than necessary such as additional **** like clothes and what not. this is my fun car otherwise I have a 97 F150 with a 3 in body lift and 33in boggers that I drive.
