Default Notch vs hatch vs 2 srt4s

Last night after the car meet was mostly over a couple of guys came by to look for some runs.
05 srt4 stage 2 "with toys"
03 srt4 stage 1
95 hatch with semi-built B16

I was talking to them about their cars and they guy in the hatch started saying "yea its pretty quick, I smash one GT mustangs all the time" So i asked him if he wanted to run mine. He looked at my car and said "I will smash on you, I got this!" haha I didnt say anything. We decided to go from a roll since we both have traction issues.

First roll 45mph: I honked it off. By the time i hit 4th i was wayy ahead of him. 7+cars until i shut off.

Second roll 40mph: bad spot for me since I am on top of second. We go and i spin and short shift to 3rd and spun a bit more.. reeled him in and put 3 cars until I shut off. Raced a few more times and it was pointless

VS both srt4s 55-60mph roll: They honked it off and it ended up being a race between me and the stage 2. I shut it off after I had 3 cars on him with the other srt4 behind him I dont know how far though.

QUICKIE: I won

p.s. I have to start going to these meets in Mexico more often/

So considering they were lightly modded, they should trap at least 83-85 (most likely more) in the 1/8th, so with half *** drivers, lets say they still only trap what a stock SRT would trap, in which case they would still pull the OP. So how on Earth he put lengths on those cars is beyond me.

Is the time in his sig from the 94 in the sig pic or from the 87 LX notch listed as his vehicle? The thread title says he was driving the notch.

Dunno. Maybe the sig time is the 94 and the notch is faster? Would explain things.

Yep, things aren't adding up. Need some clarification.

I know Lightings can be really quick modified. i have an 87 Notch with GT40 heads, GT40 upper and lower intake, udp, hedman shorty headers, o/r hpipe, e-cam, 3.73s, a/c-smog delete and a few other small things here and there. I really dont know were I stand since I havent gone to the track or really run as much as i use to. Any ideas?
I definitely see this story being true with ur mods....friend has an 86 gt with ur mods and witnessed it beat many cars untuned....

I've used to own both cars and im not buying it. I had an 86 GT with similiar mods and a stage 2 SRT-4 and the mustang isn't going to run off on the skittle like that from a roll.
