2000 ish Stang w/ 50 shot goes down.
I was on my way to my g/f house on tuesday night when I noticed that someone was on my tail. I looked threw my rearview and I see a mustang. Now, i have a "not so mustang friendly" sticker on the back of my car so I new this guy was going to try something. He Goes over to my left lane and slows down next to me. He puts his window down and asked me if I wanted to run it. I'm thinking sure why not, so I say"let's catch a light" but he saids no, lets go from a role, I told him it wouldn't be fair cause he was stick and I was automatic, but then thought what the hell. We went from a role and I pulled about half a car and them we let off at about 75. So he stays next to me and asked me what I was running. I told him 13.3. ( I run 13.3 at the track w/110 octane and 21#, I am much slower than that on the street with only 16#)He shows me his nitrous switch and told me he was running a 13.1 with a 50 shot of NOS. So we are talking and holding up traffic and everything, and to my surprise we catch a light. So I look and him and ask him if he wants to go or not. He said yes. Ohhh Boy. I build like 1# and take of on him spinning tire like crazy(235's suck). By the end of first, I all ready had half a car on him, by the middle of second, it turned into a car and a half. By the time I hit 75, I looked in the rearview and I had him by like 2 + cars so I just shut it down. He came up next to me and told me good run. I asked him what happened and he told me that one of his lines was clogged and the NOS wasn't getting threw. I don't Understand that. How could you have a brand new car and have a line clogged up already. Another thing, If your going to spray your motor, why not go big. I mean come on, I hear honda's spray 50,60, even 75 shots but a mustang, with only a 50 shoot! Give me a break. I can tell you one thing, that wasn't no 13.1 pass if it was at track. Later.

Thanks in advance
I told him that he should of got a 5spd car and that he should of got an older foxbody 5.0, but he always insisted that the auto could be quicker with some more tweaking (torque converter and shift kit like u mentioned)... Yeah, the new 4.6's are pretty damn quick considering Bob Cosby's 99 Cobra is running better than 11.90's from what I've heard and he only has bolt ons (no poweradders)... I still think the 5.0 is better due to the aftermarket it has and the fact that everybody and their grandmother knows how to make them fast and they seem to know the limits of the 5.0 motor cause they've been around for quite a while. I still like my little V6 though
