Went out tonight to see if I could find anyone to mess with. My car was hurt for a long time so it’s been a while since I’ve been able to have some fun. I’m cruising on the freeway at about 70 mph and I see some hid’s coming up, as it gets close I could tell it was a charger. Now I’m thinking, shoot I hope it’s not chp as my car is pretty loud. He paced me for a bit then passes me and then slows down. I speed up and see the badge on the fender and think ok here we go.
It’s cold out, and I’m on Michelin PS4’s so not ideal for my power level, so I’m thinking it has to be a high mph roll. I speed up so I can get into a decent power band and drop it to 4th, lol my car is pretty loud so when I drop it to 4th he knows it’s on. He gets next to me and then just floors it, I had to ease into it not wanting to spin and I stop his pull and my stupid gauges start flashing (telling me to shift) and since it’s been so long since I’ve raced I shift to 5th and it gets out of its powerband. I was up a couple cars at that point but because I short shifted and was easing into it, I think he thought he had a chance. A couple miles down the road, it’s nice and straight and nobody around, I say to myself let’s show him what this car can do. Again, higher roll in 4th, we take off... this time I have my eyes on the rpms. I take it up to about 6500 in 4th, still just easing into the throttle, I look back and he’s an easy 10-15 cars back. I took the next exit and headed home pretty happy with the runs. I really need some drag radials so I could take off in 3rd and just hammer down and obviously warmer weather .
My car for those that don’t know is built bottom end, full exhaust, methanol and Ti blower making 760 wheel on a mustang dyno
