Okay, so me and my significant other are discussing what thug beers the rice burner punks drink in our area here, The Bull, Old English, or anything that comes in a 40oz. We are driving to the restaurant for some dinner and we pull up to this fairly nice looking Caddy with the Northstar engine. This kid, couldn't be any more than 17 years old with his hat turned sideways and a very threatening gangster lean takes a look over at my woman. He and his 2 buddies looked my car up and down with laughter and disbelief of its abilities. At this point we've decided that he's strickly a Colt 45 man himself. Not expecting a race from him, he leaves at the green light very quickly even with a little smoke from the (front) tires:p
When I finally got a look at the Handicapped License plate from his grandma's car I knew it was on. I take off hard, but not enough to get a lot of wheelspin and by 65 mph, I shift in to 3rd gear as I'm next to him--seeee yaaaaaaaa, good-bye and there's no turning back. And then when it was all over and he was scraping little bits of my back tires off of his grandma's windshield, I kind of felt bad---yeah, felt bad that we didn't have enough room to let him catch up and do it all over again!

No offense to anyone here, just in good fun--

Nice one ///Mpressive,
Where is that dyno located & what were the results?

Inquiring minds want to know ;)

That is the famous Mustang Dyno down at Active Autowerke. My car was actually bone stock during those runs. Here are the numbers...

201.2 HP @ 6000.0 RPM

209.8 Ft-Lbs @ 4000.0 RPM

I have since had Active do a few select things to my car that have really made a difference, but nothing more than 10 or so horsepower.

And please no flaming from you Dynojet characters with higher horsepower, put your car on a Mustang Dyno, and then we'll talk. My numbers are fairly respectable, especially for me since I had a 318is for three years before my ///M, what a difference!

No offense to the 318ers, I was pretty close to sheding a tear when I sold it.

Hey DMD, nice list of mods man, I bet your smokin'
