How about a Mustang kill.
So, Im out at the store earlier today in the truck, and as i pull out of the parking lot, i see a red 73 mustang coupe pulling out of the next lot over. i make a series of turns, and get to a stop light, and he pulls alongside me.
it was in pretty nice shape, and sounded decent. i noticed that he was inching forward, bit by bit, and i couldnt resist to rev at him, which he quickly returned...so i also eased forward, and when the light turned green, even spinning the tires hard enough to kick the back end a bit, by about 70 i had already pulled away from him enough that i backed off...i know that those years were heading into the mustang II, and away from high performance, but from the way it sounded, i expected a little more of a race...
actually, after doing some looking around, it seems that even with the 351, they were only mid 16 second cars..i could have beaten him in the stratus...

RE: How about a Mustang kill.
it ran 14.80s in the heat last september...like a 14.86? i lost the slip (and ill never hear the end of it), but i do have a 14.900 slip, which is what i entered on dragtimes...i dont want to be like SO many other people there who post fake times, by just comparing to what others have, so if anyone asks, i have slips.
