I just thought back to some real idiots I have met. One night I was fueling up, and this LT1 Z28 camaro pulls into the station. I finish fueling up, and start up the stang, and it revs to 2,000 or so. All of the sudden the LT1 revs back, so I rev to 4k, he revs again, so I say fawk it and rev to 6k, lol. I then pull up next to him to shoot the bull.
HIM: I didn't know a mustang could sound so good! Especially a 4.6!
ME: First of all, it's a 5.0, and they all sound good.
HIM: Really?! A 5.0! Cool dude! Yea I got a corvette motor in mine. It's a 6.7
ME: Hmm..... never heard of a 6.7 motor, did you swap it in?
HIM: No, it's the stock motor.
ME: Oh. I always wondered what my stang could do against a 6.7 *snicker*
HIM: You'd get raped, I dynoed at 370 horsepower.
ME: Wow, you must have a lot done to it.
HIM: No it's stock, except a K&N and I have some exhaust done.
ME: Damn, that's some really good gains from just an air filter and exhaust! *bust out laughing at him*
HIM: You wanna run then?
ME: No thanks, I don't race dumbasses in their daddy's cars............ *drive off*
............or another one............
I met a real genius one day at my old job. He was telling me about his 02 GT and the stuff he had done to it. I'm at work, and him and his wife walks in, and she asks me, "is that really a Cobra?" Here's how the rest of the conversation went:
ME: No, it's a GT, 5.0
HIM: What's it have in it?
ME: A 5.0 with an intake
HIM: That's no 5.0, it's a 4.6
ME: No, it's a 5.0
HIM: No, somebody lied to you, it's a 4.6
ME: Trust me, I know more about my car than you, it's a 5.0. I can go pop the hood for you?
He didn't say anything else after that. A few minutes later he starts talking about his Mustang.
HIM: Yea the computer went out on my mustang.
ME: Really?!
HIM: Yea, cus you know those computers wear down after time. Well since the car only had 37,000 miles on it, Ford replaced it for me. I also had some chrome rims put on. Ford told me that they would have to retune the computer to compensate for the extra weight. They told me they would put it on their dyno..... (our ford doesn't have a dyno
ME: Oh yea?
HIM: Yea, but I have no problem getting going, not with that sway-bar I got under there. The guy I bought the wheels from told me I could actually lose the sway-bar, cus of the extra weight the wheels add.
ME: Well, actually the sway-bar is for cornering, not straight line traction, you might wanna keep it on there.
HIM: Oh all right. I've got so much done to that car. I had the cam....... (just one cam?!) .......replaced, I had the heads replaced with some flat-tops............ ('da f***?) .......... They put the Cobra cam in it, that gives me more power......... (gee I didn't know what cams did!!) ........ I got a lot of power in that thing. I switched out my whole pulley system. I went smaller....... (hmmmm..... last I checked one of the pulleys was bigger on u/d's)..........
ME: Oh yea, you got some underdrive pulleys? I had some, but I kept draining my battery with my stereo, so I took them off.
HIM: I don't have a problem with that, I have a bigger alternator.
HER: You know, I don't know why Ford ever made a Mustang without a shaker hood.
ME: Like the Mach 1? I like those too.
HER: Yea, you should get one too.
ME: Unfortunately they don't make one for mine. Because of the 5.0, you can't hook it up to the engine.
HIM: You could get a fake one. The real ones don't do anything anyway. My friend with a Mach 1 brags all the time, well we raced down the 1/4 mile, and I beat him by 2 car lengths. See, I have underdrive pulleys, so my engine doesn't have to push as hard. He was mad, I told him, man all you got is another 4.6 in there, just like mine. The only difference is the cam......... (again, just one?!) ........ it ain't nothing special.
ME: .............. walks away.............
HIM: I didn't know a mustang could sound so good! Especially a 4.6!
