Friday night i was coming home from work and i stopped to wait on my cousin. Hes got a 90' S/C T-bird, K&N, ignition, Tune, shift kit (i think thats all) we finally pulled on to his road, a long straight away and he pulled into the wrong lane and slowed it down, it was from an approx 15mph roll, when he kicked it my front tires were bout level with his back. Instantly were side to side til about 75 or so until i shift into 3rd and i gained about 1.5-2 tire lengths on him and we had to slow it down to be safe for the turn, but threw the S-shaped turn he left me sitting. . . it was a great race, im used to putting numerous amounts of car lengths on hondas, not having a car glued to my door. AH. . . the sound of roaring V8 and whistle from a supercharger. Cant wait til i get my 3.73 ring and pinion

Yeah some of those T-birds are sleapers, some people don't know that they do have a good amount of power. I wish I had pics of my one buddy's car, he's got a stroked out motor in his. It's a beast. Run's like high 11s.

Good to hear ya pulled on'em, great story
