Funny story I thought I would share. I owned a really nice 1992 Mustang 5.0 LX. 3.55 gears, subframe connectors, 245/16 all around, 180 thermostat, 2 ½ Dynomax exhaust. Nothing crazy but a nice sounding and nice running car. I’m guessing the year was around 1997ish, 1998ish. Imports where starting to hit the scene but it was more of just lowered cars with 5-inch tips. However I was very humbled one afternoon. While driving an Eagle Talon was making it’s way through traffic. Nothing to make note of except banged up car with some shinny rims on it, and a 5-inch tip. It sounded horrible. In a two-land road he was first at the light and I was stuck behind a car. When the light turned green he took off. The car in front of me turned so I punched it after him. I got up next to him and dropped it a gear revving it. I punched it again and took off. (Thinking back I must have looked like an idiot). Anyway he didn’t bite. So I backed off. A few minutes later I hear his car wind up. OK I say and stomped on it. That POS caught me so fast, and blew past me my mouth dropped. I don’t know if his car blew up later from that shot of NOS but at that time, he took me to school.

 

Just goes to show you, there is always some one faster. BTW we have two 12 second Talons here in Windsor. One will be in the 11s next summer. Neither of these cars use juice. Just properly tuned turbos.
