Tonight after dinner I decided to take my car and get some gas before putting her to bed for the evening. (did some cruising this afternoon and was getting a little low). I live on an island and gas is cheaper on the mainland. There is a causeway bridge to go over and I was going over it and kept hearing a low grumbleing behind me. The car behind me was a new Pontiac Grand Prix so I didn't think it was coming from it. On the other side of the bridge the road opens up from one lane to 3 and a 89 or so Mustang GT (the year with the louvered rear tail lights) is the car that I heard. I was going stright and I saw him put his blinker on to turn left...oh well maybe next time. The next thing I know is he is right beside me at the light....Its Go Time. I took off normally and then I heard him hit it at about 5 MPH..its on. It was no contest and I pulled away from him like he was a RICER!!!!!! I shut down because the road goes back to one lane and I was coming up on a Minivan fast. Pulled into the gas station and so did the Mustang. He got and and asked if I had a big block or something all I could do is smile and say nope, 350. He shook my hand and said nice car.....we talked for a while and then parted. All in all a decent Ford guy. On the way back, at the same light going to the bridge I came up behind ANOTHER RUSTANG!!!!! It sounded OK but was older than the first one. He took off at the green and I was right on his A~~. When we cleared the intersection I passed him and even hit my 6000 RPM rev limiter in 2nd but still kept pulling on him :lol: :lol: . Had to shut down again at the bridge (SUV this time) and it took him a while to catch up. He stayed on my A~~ like he wanted more but we were on the island and there is only 1 road with alot of traffic (beach traffic). He turned off before I got home.
Man I love my ZZ4 :yesnod: :yesnod: :D :D

Showoff. I don't know why you brag about your motor all the time. I could hang with you, no problem. Cause I got a 350. It's got high tech Crossfire Injection so you should be very scared when you see me comin' your way. You wouldn't last one minu...uhh...... oh, you said "ZZ4". I thought you had said Z34. MY BAD!

Ok Ok, I'm jealous --- I admit it! Nice Stang KILLS, keep up the good work ! :D :cheers: :cool:

I WANT A ZZ4 ... WAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!

I like hearing about 5.0 Mustangs getting trounced on, it brings back a lot of memories of my mis-spent youth with my '69 427 roadster. :)

 

Give me a year and I'll spank your ZZ4 with my 350 (well, it'll be a 355 and have a blower). Just need the Corvette and the shop, but I'm working on both :)

 

Did all the work myself, and if you get a blower then I get some kind of power adder, Hot Cam, 1.6:1 roller rockers, etc etc etc. Deal?

I have 2 Vettes... and two 5.0 Mustangs...

Wish I could figure out some way to race myself.

LOL

 

What would really be cool if you could race all 4 of them at the same time :eek: :eek: :eek:

you wouldn't even need a ZZ4 to "kill" 5.0 Mustangs...
However - my "best" kill ever was a supercharged 5.0. I did this kill with my 69' (sold) (383/450HP). The Mustang must have had at least the same kind of HP... He had the very high hood and you could hear his supercharger whining...

Rack up two more for the MCAA! :cheers:
