maybe it's the alcohol playing tricks with my mind, but i just thought about it for a second and i've almost done everything on my life's list of 'to-do's'. the things left to do are:
Go to New Orleans
go to NYC
go to San Fancisco(going this april)
Own a rwd car with a V8(preferably a classic, but anything will do)
learn how to drive stick
Drag race on an actual track
Own a yellow 95 mustang GT, with two white racing stripes up the hood and down the trunk, hard top.
See a concert


that's about it. what would you do if you were left with nothing to do? i know it will take some time to do all of these, but not too much. i just lost my train of thought so i'm going to leave it at this

I always wanted to fly like Superman - and I'm sure I could do it for about ten seconds or so... Y'know, until the ground got in my way...

Last time I went (a couple months ago now) I was running high 13s (13.9). However, the bearings in the blower were failing then. Since then, I've had the blower rebuilt and the impeller upgraded. The car should be good for 13.5 with me driving, and probably 13.25 or better with a good driver :)

I keep running 60' times of about 2.15. I can't launch my car! I'm going to buy some drag radials after winter's over.

car's running 7psi of boost right now, no intercooler.
it's got a 5-speed tremec tranny in it, with a tri-ax shifter (car was an auto from the factory)
Got FMS shorty headers on it, and a dynomax catback.
Paxton fuel stuff, cause of the blower.
MSD ignition
eibach springs
70mm throttle body
3.73 gears
um, I think that's most of it.

cool :) what do they mean by catback exhaust anyways? are those the ones that arch up to go over the axle? what's the advantage?

if i remember correctly(probably won't) the problem with the 5.0's was cylinder heads being too restrictive. i could be totally wrong though ;) ever thought about porting them or putting on a new set? may help with the et's

catback jsut means you replace the exhaust system from the catalytic converters back. basically jsut new pipes an mufflers. The biggest advantage is that the car sounds better when you're done ;)


New heads would be nice, but I don't have $1200 lying around :)

cool, Talon :) i live in Ottawa unfortunatly, and because of the temperamental weather, racing isn't a big passtime around here. i know the capital speedway is nearby(can't remember the web address) but nothing was said about drag racing on it :(
