Ok guys, my friend's mom (i know hes a ******) got a rousch mustang, the stage 3 kit, heres the link for it ( http://www.roushperformance.com/mustang_st3.shtml ) horsepower and what not is all on there just scroll around. ok now he wants to race me in a 1/4 mile for a 100 dollars, yeah you know whatever 100 dollars no big deal. now here is what I will be running by the time of the race what do you guys think it will turn out to be.. My car will be running Dual K&N Intake, Ported Mass Air Flow Sensor, Corsa Pace Car Exhaust cat back system, Ported Throttle Body, Throttle body coolant by-pass kit, 160 Lingenfelter Thermostat, Oil Cooler, West Coast Corvette high flow air duct and coupler, car is also tuned, and a high performance intake manifold. we are also about equal drivers. What do you guys think?

they are also both manuals. that mustang is a 5 speed though i think and my car is a 6 obviously

the vette all the way!

You should be able to take him. Read up on some good launching techiques with mn6 vette. Are you running those god awfull runflats? Make sure you drive around the water box when staging. The water will only hurt your traction. I heard leaving the traction control on helps as well.Good Luck, Spend your $100 winnings on more mods

Take off the k/n and add a calloway honker or vara ram. Then wave bye- bye. :cool:

hahaha i like that k&n intake..well i should wave bye bye anyway haha..so is traction control on a good idea or bad idea?

OFF! i hate that traction ****. Practice a few times to see what rmp u launch good from with out much wheel spin. is this gonna be on the streets or track? You might even concider leavin in 2nd.

its going to be on a 1/4 mile drag strip

i had a 1995 six speed impala ss with a blower and starting off in second gear helped reduse wheel spin alot. u might concider it.

what does any one think my car will run 1/4 mile?

about 13 flat or so.

practice with the traction controll on and off. I prefer it off, and if I get some wheelspin, I just drive through it. If it's on, and you get some wheel spin, the computer will back off the trottle, and cost you some ET

also try running a litle less air pressure in the back tires. Start at about 26lbs or so, and let out 1 lb on each side untill you get the best 60' time


You'll beat that Mustang as long as you don't screw up the run! No offense, but if he beats you, you'll never live it down:D

Very good point Ed!
