Default Any problems?

Friend of a friend got a 95 GT and the previous owner did 3.73's, heads, cam, other stuff as well but nothing to major. He bought it about 3 weeks ago drove it through the snow and ice and salt and everything. Local dragway has a Winter Runs that they open the track for as long as it's not wet on the track they'll let you run, he did about 20 runs his best was 14.1. I took mine to the same place about a week after I got it and ran her, my best time was 14.5. My fall backs however that aren't going to be a factor this time were full tank, as in completly full. Trak-lok was out. Bald street tires. No power shifting. Only had the car for a few days never raced on the strip. And I now have what you see in my signature done.

The dudes kind of a tool, and frankly he gets very cocky. Do you see any problems with me handing his *** to him?

I don't see it happening. Your friend probably have another half second left in his car assuming he has exhaust mods.

No need to get mad. Quite frankly, I think it was just hard to understand what you said. I had to read it a couple times to realize you were saying you ran 14.5 when you first got it, and now you have all the mods in your sig.

Heads and cam are major mods, he already went .4 tenths faster than you and I think he has more left.

there's either something wrong with his set-up or it's the wekest heads and cam swap i've ever seen or maybe he's just a really bad driver. i know the 95 mustangs are a bit heavier but an H/C/I swap on a fox will usually put you in mid to high 12s.

I think if he keeps running the 14.1 times then you can beat him. But if he learns how to drive his car then he will prolly beat you, unless of course you decide to throw some Nitrous in your car...

And in the meantime, hope he doesn't learn how to drive his car!
