Well ,
i just got my first victim. A 1968 Stingray Corvette with a built 454 4-speed .. Vette owner estimates 530 crank horsepower.. Anyways , i saw this guy cruising around my town, and he wanted to play.. Two runs from a 25mph roll, i pulled away in first,second and third.. Walked him both times pretty good. Four car lengths from 25-100mph.
From a dead stop, i launched very easy, he spun tires. By the time he stopped spinning, and i hit about 4k on the tach, i walked him like a dog.. To 100mph i had him by 4-5 car lengths.. My brother Ernie was my co-pilot, and the driver Jake had his dad Jeff in his passenger seat.
Well, it was the dad Jeff's vette, and he was not happy he got smoked three times by a Mustang.. But after we pulled over and talked, he realized that whine he was hearing was a Stage V Steggy blower.. 500+rwh. He shook my hand and said that is one badass Cobra. He had never been beat by a convertible before.
This dude does have another Stingray, which he says has 700hp, but we'll see what happens when we run..
Here's a pic of me and Jeff parked in front of my house right after the race..
This was my first real action. It felt great. And my heart was pounding for at least an hour after the runs..
Big shout out to Danny Swanson at Swansons Performance in Torrance Ca. I love smacking down vettes ! Thanks
