so when is this race supposed to happen???

TonytheTiger · 09-18-2008, 10:40 PM

We are going to race at 6:00 on saturday 20th sept. and WOW lots of warnings but i will take them in consideration. i was told that if i ran a 1/4 mile with the current mustang it will be close on either side but if i ran a 1/4 with a 1999-2004 mustang i could run circles around it........

On friday im taking out my subwoofers and my amp so i can reduce weight.... and my cds and cologne in my armrest. Will racing with the t-tops off help me out in any way?

wtf? how does it ac/heater drain so much hp??

ucla1ove3 · 09-20-2008, 10:19 AM

actually it barely does anything to gas milage. maybe a quarter of a mile less but that's it. there have been studies and such on this. but as for it losing horsepower because of it. you are spot on

Sorry to keep u guys waiting on the results my internent was down all week end and It just started working this morning. We went to the road at 5:40 and looked for the street and we were ready to go by 6:00 , we made our start line with some dirt, and my camaro has a trip meter so i measured a 1/4 and planted a branch as the mark. His stang and my camaro are both red so for some reason seeing them lined up looked pretty awsome. We lined up and i hit the horn 3 times and we went off the mustang has more acceleration but only till it hit about 30mph then it started slowing down and i was always was on the middle of the car and we were about half way but near the end i got to about 85mph and i guess thats when i noticed my upgrades like my air intake and stuff were helping me out. and i flew by him!!! going to the end his nose was probly on my rear tire! so i won the 1st race, but the second my timing was of and i lost the second one by atleast a whole car..... so we raced 2 more times and i won both!!!!!! We stoped at like 7:10 and at the end of the last race he told me i had a good car for being stock (i never told him about the upgrades haha) and said good racing but he still thinks the mustang is better..-_- I rubed it in his face untill he went back home and i patted my camaro good job and drove back home with a big smile. but I doubt that our arguments about chevy and ford will end here but atleast i could shove this event in his face as proof!! CAMAROS KICKS F*ING ASS!!!!

ucla1ove3 · 09-22-2008, 10:43 PM
