LOL. There's an old racing saying that goes, "You are cheating. I know you are cheating because I am cheating and you are beating me."

Since I've gotten to the point where I'm running out of legal mods, TJ is suggesting illegal mods that they won't find... I just want to mod the car, and he just wants the money. Maybe I'll start looking at guages and stuff.

Sounds like a good deal you two have worked out. Anyway, I doubt he'd want you running against him anyway.

4 bangers don't have the torque. They need the extra gear to get 'em moving. Since they rev a bit higher, it makes up for it (somewhat).

No late model V8 stangs, anyway. The originals had options, though, and that was prolly one of them, right? [/B][/QUOTE]

I'd have to look that one up, but with the exception or the KR's and the AC (which isn't a mustang) I'd doubt it. 3.55's maybe. 3.73's I doubt it.

Or a turbo.

Speaking of power adders, me and one of my friends have running jokes about ricers and NOS stickers, so today, I bought a NOS sticker and put it on my English folder. Now I'll be able to cut 15 minutes off my homework!

He enjoys the driving. He really doesn't get off on the competition like I do.

"The Drag Pack option, available only with 428 engines, came with 3.91:1 or 4.30:1 axle ratios"
From Mustang Red Book, regarding 1970 stangs. So, no 3.73's, but they're were higher ones.

LOL. Me and a buddy are always pulling pranks on each other. He went TDY and I put a couple rainbow stickers on his car. They were there for like a month before he got back.

Depends on what you have now. I can't tell you with the auto what you have now.

Well, the update/backdate rule states that it's within bodystyles so that may limit them to chassis codes (like Fox vs SN-95) or even to actuall body styles (like 94-98 and 99-03). But I know 3.55's are the lowest you can go in ESP.

Well, it's been great, but I got a parade tomorrow, and a long day after that. (such as my eccon teacher telling my parents about that 75 I have in his class...did I mention he's also the vice principal? but he's cool...). Gotta go to bed. Talk to y'all later.
