I dunno, my last race was about a year ago. I was in my Accord, just cruising, gettin' my lean on. And this 5th gen Monte Carlo kept messing with me, he was baiting me into a race so I took him up on the offer. Little did he know, I had a H22 swap under the hood w/CAI/Headers/CatBack/Type S cams/Hondata ECU. SUCKA!!! So we get to a light and I look over at him and give him a couple revs, he starts laughing. Light turns green and we nail it, I spin my tires quite a bit so he gets up on me by a car length or so, but then I get traction and pull hard on him. I was past him by 3rd gear, I shift to 4th and still at WOT when I realize "damn, dude is like 2-3 car lengths back" and then all of a sudden *FLASHING RED AND BLUE LIGHTS* The light we started at was the beginning of the hwy, there is a straight away of a couple hundred feet and then you go thorugh a long, swooping bend. Well at the apex of that bend is an off ramp, and when I noticed dude in the Monte was a cop, we were approaching the offramp. So as I let off the gas, I see in my rearview that dude in the Monte has his red and blues flashing and is accelerating up on me as im coasting and at the last second, I dip over to take the offramp but he is going too fast and can't manuver his car to follow me. I have never been so scared in my life, in California they don't play around w/racers. You get caught racing, automatic 2 points on your record, car gets impounded for 30 days, license is suspended, and you have to pay stiff fines. I have not raced since

Damn! that's vicious man. I'm from reno, they have races all the freakin time there, thats where i have done most of my racing, the only thing i did here in cali was a friend of mine own a Mitsu Lancer RalliArt, and of course he's gonna think its all hard-a*s and ****e. so we were just messing around one day when we both came up to an empty light, so i figured f*ck it, i might as well school him a little bit, light turned green we both layed on it and i completely destroyed him. other than that i havent done anything in cali.

RE: Mustang GT
I cn tell you they will take you from the light!!
We have a blue one here that i haved lined up with and i tok the better light but before i could get out of the holei was plying catch up with him
Now with that said i did keep up with him and he didnt get to far from me the whole way threw it . But it was only about a mile or so.
for distance i think we have a chance.
Also you have to remeber they are rear wheel drive and fords come from teh factory with a good gear in them
I dont even think the Montes have the best gears in them from the factory .
Not to mention i would love to run him agian with my car as a rear wheel drive
But they have us on weight to. I belive .
so When ya run one the best thing i can say is be rollin when ya do it.
Tehy tend to spin do to the light tail they have we have the advantage o the wheel pullng have more weight on them then thiers do

RE: Mustang GT
it looks like a stock 01 GTP should turn in around a 14.9. the slowest GT MT QM time ive found is a 13.94...i cant find a QM time ANYWHERE for the auto tranny...i have found a AT V6 QM speed of 15.35...so the auto tranny GT is between those times..id guess 14.3 maybe? so youd need some blower work...is your car intercooled

RE: Mustang GT
Well the reason Im asking is that Im a sucker for SLP...ive been considering buying a whole bunch of new toys for the GTP and im just curious about the performance differences from stock. Im sure someone has some SLP stuff on their Monte SS
