I just recently sold my IROC-Z in favor of looking for a nice GN(good choice if you ask me)..anywho..I'm out with my friend in his mustang this weekend instead of taking my car out. There wasn't much going on anyone out there had either already been beaten by him or really didn't want to chance it against his car. So we're hanging around and this nice 87' GN rolls up sounded real nice and looked even nicer. Now I'd seen this guy around before but never out racing with us. So he pulls up near us and parks his car. My friend's checking out his car and decides to ask him for a race. So he goes over asks the guy in the GN if he was interested in running his mustang. The guy replies "That thing is a waste of my gas.." now my friend's mustang isn't much of a looker the body has all replacement parts on it and a white cowl hood(needs paint all around) so many people just dismiss it as a big POS when they see it. So we invite him over to come and look under the hood and take a good look at it.He comes over and decides the mustang will give him a pretty decent race. So we head out to the quarter mile and line up. At first he kills us off the line because we caught no traction even with full drag slicks on the car. Once we caught traction we caught up with him and lost by about one car. On our way back he agreed to go again for another run. Next time was a different story we did beat him by only about a half a car length. It was nose to nose the whole time. We've never had a car come close to doing that yet. Now my friends mustang runs low 11's with no nitrous and on slicks. We didn't juice him either but he was the only person who my friend ever raced against that my friend thought of using the nitrous against. It was truly an impressive car and we ended up talking to him after we got back..I asked him if he was interested in selling it his reply was "it's nice to see you have a sense of humor this late at night"...ahh well it was nice to dream.
