Hey everyone whats up. I just had a quick question. I just got my stang back on the road. Nothing happen just been working on it with a couple of guys. I have the basic 3.73 gear and h-pipe w/cats...A buddy of mine wants to run his Z28 against me. Its basically stock cept for a K&N filter and a short shifter. Now usually I would say yea lets go right now but my tires are basically shot and ive only been back in the car for about 3 days learning the gears. Also it would be tough if I lost seeing all of my friends either drive Z28's SS's or TA's so I wouldnt hear the end of it. What do you guys think?

correction, his is a 2000 TA. And the site is www.easternfbody.com. Go to About EFA link and his car is pictured right above his name, Richard Farrell. His times may be better now due to mods, I havent talked to him in over a year since I moved away. We always used to argue about the better car. I always said mustang and he always said GM. Friendly arguing. This is a cool site to check out if you want to see what kind of heat our domestic enemies are packing. Yeah he started the site in 99 right when we graduated high school. started out as southernmdfbody.com
