My biggest KILL ever!!!!! (long but worth reading)
Last night I was coming back from my girlfriends house and this yellow mustang 5.0 LX pulls up next to me. It looked like a 92 model, and by the way it sounded and all the gauges I knew for sure it was not stock. So after fooling around for about 2 miles we lign up at a ligt (I was pretty sure I was going to loose but worth trying). The light turns green and we both take off. At 90 I had him by 2 cars and called quits, turned on my hazards and stepped on my brakes, and just as I suspected the guy flies by me (sore looser). He get cought up on another light and we lign up again and I smoke him again. He tried 3 times and lost each time. We later pulled over and started talking. Of cours his first question was what I got under the hood and I showed him (Frankencar mid pipe & K&N). He didnt want to believe it so he looked under the car and guess what: stock!! I asked him what he had so now here comes the funny part: Headers, Full exhaust, Gear and Intake. Now I can honestly say that my max is a fast car

nice kill. My friend with a 92 5.0 is always talking trash saying how he would beat my maxima. Guess when he comes back from the marines i'll have to race him.

Nice kill, I raced similar Mustang a while ago and beat him pretty bad. I think he was very surprized by the look on his face was when I was passing him. Maybe sound of intake scared him

I ran a best of 14.47 and conistantly ran 14.6's with bad traction and having to baby it out of the whole. That should be good enough to beat a mildly modded Maxima. By the way, the 86 Mustang 5.0 was rated at 200hp/285tq. The 225 horse motor came out in 1987.

Cars are much faster these days than before. A 5.0 is not what they used to be. Now if he goes and buys a SC look out. Good kill BTW

S/C will definitely breath some life into a 5.0 Mustang. So will the old bore/stroke combo. Definitely a good kill. Any RWD sports (ok, semi sports car) car kill is a good one, especially when they have a V8 under the hood.

1.) Talking about street racing will get you a
now...2.) You're in the 5th gen forum posting about your 4th gen.
3.) This thread is seven years old. Did you not look at the dates?
Geezus...look closer people. I'll admit, when I saw the "02-05..." it kind of threw me for a loop. But I saw the "2003" after I looked harder.

i think that guy probably didnt know how to race. a stick 03 gt makes 260hp and 300 tq. Also stock runs 14.3. With slicks they would run in the 13s stock. im gonna say he either didn t know whar he was doing.

So... it's obviously against the rules to talk about kills... (and just on the side, I swear to god I never heard that term in this context before. Hilarious!) but is it also against the rules to talk about being killed?
Different point of view. Much more humbling. Far more entertaining.
Yeah, it probably is just the same. Street Racing is street racing, even when you lose.
Never mind. Sure would be a fun thread, though.

However, I'd definitely take a 5.0 Fox body, preferably an LX. So easy to make them really, really quick. Wish my Maxima was as easy to modify.
