Im new to TRs but I have been in to g bodies for a long time, I've got a 86,442 along with a 87 gn that I bought a few weeks ago. Today around lunch time me and a friend who works at the same shop decided to go get some food. On the way to the restaurant I came across a late 80s mustang convertible with a BLOWER and slicks. There was a 2 mile stretch out in front of us with no cars, at least I thought. When the light turned green he got a bit of a jump on me and the turbo lag did not help any but when i started pulling 23 psi i gained and stayed with him for a good mile, i was determined to get in front of him, and i did, by the end of the race i had 2 cars on him and my Speedo was reading 130 mph but as soon as the race was over a green 70s caddy pulled out in front of me,we were all screaming SH*T. I slammed on the brakes locking them up and slid what felt like 200 feet. The moron in the caddy froze like a deer in the head lights, i mean he stoped dead in the middle of the street but right before I was about it nail him right in the side I let off the brake and floored it in to a left turn. I thought i had missed him but later inspection of the right corner of my front bumper showed that i had not missed him. I some how lightly tagged the rear bumper of that caddy at 70 mph and all i got out of the deal was a scuff that took about 5 mins to buff out. The guy that was ridding with me was white as a ghost and to top that off he left fingernale marks on the roof and yanked my trim loose. I think im going to cool down on the street racing for a while that last one was to close.
