Everyone has seen an incredible car get owned by another car that is unsuspecting. I"m just sayimg that it wasn't that big of a deal that 351Wcoupe beat a GT a couple of times, cause GT's aren't incredible performers. Plus he is probably a better driver than than the guy in the GT.
Whoa there fella easy there with the compliments people might stop hating you.
Notice my screen name is "351" wcoupe. I built the 2.3 car for fun for my girlfriend. My car is a 2600lb 393w with nitrous. I would say it ran pretty good before, but I've done a ton more since the last time at the track with it.
I was running faster than 4-5 mustangs and I was the only 4 cylinder. The 2.3 is not by any means ripping up the track but for only $1000 I hit the 9's and it'll be in the 8's in the next month for under $2000. With almost all stock parts.
Honestly I did out drive the guy in the GT, but you asked if I beat any V8s and I haven't lost to one yet unless it has more mods than me. I can agree I've never liked Gt's because I think to many people get caught with the "GT" part too much. GT must mean faster because it has a body kit.
I'll probably be at Sumerduck next week too, come on down and as long as your cool you can take a ride down the track, maybe you can gain a little respect.
RT .622................lol its green................ok I'll go now.
60ft 2.223..still not sure about this the cars first gear felt like a 1.9 or a 2.0
330 6.330......that second gear.
1/8 9.683..............New fastest time, still nowhere near good enough.
mph 73.34..............Mph has always been about the same.
This was the first night on slicks and it didn't run any faster 60ft even though it hooked hard. I have some changes to make and we'll see if they help any.
