Me and my buddy have been friends for 11 years now. He's always been a camaro guy, ive always been a mustang guy. Ever since we both got our dream cars (He's got an 89 Iroc Z 350 tune port, full exhaust mods, comp chip, some throttle body and head work) we've argued about who would win. Well we were planning on racing, but then my stang developed a rodknock, weeks later a spun bearing, now my limited slip is going bad. Well we go out cruising all the time with another buddy in his 87 vette. He got use wound up, and we eventually raced at a light. I had him by atleast 2 carlengths by 80. It was and will be my only full-on race with my mustang. I was very proud of my baby, ive driven his camaro and it honestly seemed faster than mine. But, even with a rodknock, spun bearing and one-wheeled-wonder, i still had him. Oh, and just for the haters, we raced thrice more to make sure. I had him almost the same distance by 80 every time. It was a pretty fun night all in all. I did lose to the vette tho... Only by a fender by 100mph.
Good kill, your friend will be back in the mod shop before you can say Ellis Juan. I dont think hell go as far as an engine swap but, you never know.

stanger88 - The vette i mentioned has an LS1 swap

Sidewayz - Yup As soon as she blows completely, im swapping for a 4v.

Quick shot - No i believe until 2000, they were something like Canary yellow or something. Its got a slight orange hue to it.

Mr Rogers - Yea we've been playing 1-uppy for a while now. Now that i finally pwned him, he's probley gunna save up all winter for enough mods to pwn me right back lol.

And thanks to everyone else for the comments. He called me today saying he had changed some things and wants to race again while its warmer out. So we'll see how that ends up [&:]

I would have probably bought an iroc if I would have found a good deal. I love third gen f bodies. They arent always teh fastest but they are sweet car none the less.

I dunno know about that, the IROC 350's run in the mid to high 14s, right there with our foxes, and they respond to mods pretty well and plenty see low 13s.
