This is a great story that happened last week. It may be a little long, but its pretty cool. Well last year a raced my buddy that I see a couple times a year in his 93 mustang with a powerdyne supercharger. It was on the street and I blew him away, I posted the kill in this section. Well, I guess this really made him upset so he set out to take his revenge on me. He gave me a call and wanted me to go to great lakes dragwya with him and race our cars. I agreed and was looking forward to seeing him and his car, since I had been at school the whole year. Well it turns out that he put twin turbos on his mustang. I did not know this and he made a point of hiding it from me until we lined up for our first race against each other. The turbos were hidden very well and he spent lots of time finding a used kit that was very hard to see under the hood. Well I totally missed it, I thought he was running jsut a stock 5.0, cuase he told me that he removed his supercharger, (now I realize that he still had his "got boost?" sticker in his window and he still had his boost gauge.) guess I should have caught it. Well I didnt even hear his turbos on teh way to the track, cuase I was running an open dump. so we lined up and his buddy was going to video us and capture the glory of his mustang killing my GN. I thought that I would beat him easily, but he was planning on surprising me and beating me badly. Well he had a 2.66 60 foot time (5 speed, 16 inch rims, and low profile tires, and about 600 horsepower.) Well he didnt have a full run and ran a 14.5 or something. I ran a 12.67 at 109mph and had a 1.96 60 foot time. I noticed his 86 mph 1/8 mile speed but didnt think anything about it. SO he still has not told me that he has twin turbos. his plan did not work, to surprise me and run a 125 mph trap speed. We did not get the chance to line up again. On his second run his engine blew at about 2/3 track and he had to get towed home. He thinks its his bottom end (stock 8#,### miles) He still ran a 13.8 at 108mph. thats when he finally told me that he was running two turbos and should have trapped at around 125 or so. I could not believe that he hid it from me for so long. I guess he was that upset over my basically stock GN beating him a year ago. Oh well. he finally jsut gave in and told me everything that he had done to his car since that last time I raced him. I jsut still cant believe that he hid it so well and that I didnt peice the puzzle together, (got boost sticker, boost gauge, laptop on passenger seat.) oh well, it was a fun day. I told him that he should jsut go ahead and buy a GN since even his car with two turbos cant beat me. LOL.
I had two other runs and beat a 35th anniversary trans am. I ran 13.4 at 109 (2.4 60 foot time) to his 14.5 @104. On the nest run I beat a twin turbo VR4. I ran a 12.9 @ 110 to his 14.##. It was a great trip, I set my new best 1/4 time and best MPH, and beat three nice cars. I also saw a 2003 cobra and it ran a 13.1.
