I see a stock C5 low 13 sec car with maybe a K&N filter for mods against a done up Mustang with nitrous no suprises here If the guy really did say that to him he's an idiot

I usually don't talk smack to a 5.0 Mustang with a big hood scoop like that. Those 5.0's can be made to go like poopie. Talk trash after the race.

That guy has some pictures on his site of a blown 'stang motor with nitrous, along with dyno sheets showing 847 HP. I guess that's the one he has in his car. That's some serious poopie!!

That's just good public policy! Never talk smack until after you can back it up!

Re: And Sometimes the Bear Eats You... (Aflac)
I saw a typhoon throttle a vette the other day... My dad used to own one of those, we bought it from this performance shop out in houston. They put a larger turbo on it, bored it out some, and a couple other mods... pulling about 500hp. that car would get up and go, like a bat out of hell. or as you all say... like "poopie"... I can only immagine what 875hp would do, thats insane, but through and through, its still a nasty crustange, that has no beauty or grace... One of my exgf's was all about the tangs... I should have taken that as a warning from the beginning... hahah..
