On the way home today from the Deptford mall, headed down Route 42 through Turnersville over towards the Friday Night meet @ Fuddruckers (for anyone local who wants an idea). Ended up behind an early 70's Pontiac A-Body (GTO or Temptest, I didn't get a clear view of the nose) and a Fox Body Mustang GT, 90-93 body. They went from a roll at about 45, I was in 4th and could have easily gone down a gear or two. Anyway, they hit it, and as soon as they did I did. Of course, it took a second for me to get in the powerband, and they pulled a couple cars during that time, but as soon as she boosted I started reeling them in!! I really didn't expect it, but I actually had to brake to keep from overtaking them too badly. The guys in the mustang kept turning around looking like WTF?????????

I can't wait to get a real run instead of just chasing two guys who are running.

A bodies are heavy and 5.0 mustangs are pretty sad cars without mods. Heck, I've seen DOHC Neons almost overtake 5.0 mustangs (no joke).

Doesn't suprise me.

But for the amount of money you spent on your swap, that fox box could be making what? 500 billion horsepower or something ridiculous like that? That motor has an excellent dollar to horsepower ratio.
