Background: A friend at work and I are always talking about our cars, but we never seem to meet up on the street. However, yesterday was the day.
Me : 86 GN, stock: turbo, intercooler,converter, everything. Mods: see signature. Running 20 lbs of boost.
Him : Roush Supercharged Mustang with a dyno-proven 360 horsepower and at least as much torque. 5 speed. Boost unknown, but now he wants a smaller pulley!
Story : I just got the GN back on the road after a vacuum brake conversion and a switch to methanol in my alky kit.
We meet up in the parking lot, and I ask him to take me for a ride in his car. After the ride, I was a little afraid because, from the passenger seat, his car felt fast.
So, once back, I hop in the black beast and ask, no beg, her to do me proud. She fired right up, and we pulled into traffic.
Short on time, we decide to go from about 10 mph. I let him initiate, and then my 255/60's thought that it was a good time to get some traction (he had no traction problems either), and I flew past him.
I had at least 3 1/2 cars by 60 and kept on pulling to about 75 where we ended the race do to traffic.
I think that I've got this car dialed in pretty tight on the stock combo. I hope to get to the track and see what she'll do.
