I destroyed a 5.0 last nite!

[PalmerWMD]

In my S13 w/ SR and he was an early 90's Mustang 5.0 with at least an exhaust maybe IHE.

He would have gotten me for sure from a dig (no LSD yet, it came in yesterday, but its a 2 way, not the 1.5 way I ordered Grrr), but I insisted on a roll.

It was from 40mph, I was in second gear revving a tad above 4k.

Not even close, I destroyed the 5.0!!!:icesangel

According to witnesses, I got him by many car lenghts and left him right away. I shut it down at 100+ mph ( hazards....) at which point he had given up.

My Mods:Sr20DET with Walbro 255l. Greddy FMIC, ACT clutch, Griffin radiator, Blitz BOV, Boost Controller ( Manual in-cab), and a few non performance related things.

LIGHT wheel/tire combo too (16 inch Enkei "racers" w/ ViktoRacers in the rear.

Michael in a 2000 Altima (5 speed w/ 50 shot) also beat a B16 turbo swapped Civic that was competently driven.

A friend of ours has a Chrysler Minivan with a Eclipse Turbo Motor and AWD in it....

We were out around 1:30 am and suddenly like 15 Mustangs and Camaros showed up .It was kinda something out of a movie, cuz we were white ( basically the South Indiana NICO chapter) and the first group we raced was Asian (mostly, and they were now hanging out with us, after most of us beat them pretty good, even tho they had nice cars, mosly swapped Hondas, plus that 5.0, their snootiness from earlier, gone with the wind..) and the group now rolling in, in muscle cars, was Latin.

But we knew some of them. So it wasnt like a big bad ethnic thing, like on prime time TV, but it still struck me as something from a movie.

Anyway we DID get those guys to race the Minivan at an industrial area with about an 8th mile of room (then another 8th for braking before the wall)

One of their fastest Z28's (6 speed LS1) lined up with the Minivan from our NICO Indiana crowd and thought it was a big joke.

Until he got destroyed by the Minivan!:ylsuper

It was alot of fun and like some thing from the movies were the white kids and the Asian kids and The Latin kids all show up in 3 groups and race each other.

Except unlike the sensationalist BS on TV, no fights or discord of any kind!

But certainly a nite of some of the most hard core racing, I had been a part of for a while.

When I left (2:30 am) they were still going at it .

For those who are wondering: I was running my daily driver setting of 13 lbs, cuz I had forgotten to change it to my race setting of 14 lbs (stock T25).

naaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwccceeee

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

sweet. Hopefully this doesnt start one of those damn arguments about "no way could you beat a 5.0" and bs.

but sweeeeeeeeet

[Altiman94]

I wont be starting any arguments, but I do like hte 5.0 fox body mustang. They can be terribly mean with some mods.

[nismodave]

Too bad you guys cant get together and race on a track.

I swore off street racing a couple of years ago.

Too Dangerous.

If you have an SR@13psi you'd destroy that 5.0 even if he launched and you rolled off the line. They're only low 15/high 14 second cards. With basic mods maybe high 14s. You'd walk him on Open dif.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

lol yeah 5.0's are nice. my cuz has a conv.

[PalmerWMD]

I always thought the 5.0 of the early 90's (old body style) were like a mid 13's car...This one was .3 overbore and IHE too I found out today.

I figured I only got him cuz I was in my perfect boost at 40 mph in 2nd.

Fred...

[Dattebayo]

Isn't a SR on 13lbs a little inefficient? You SO need a ECU upgrade, Fred. You could add alot of power to that beast (not to mention future upgrades:)).Another thing, i'm dying to know, what was so special about the minivan? Give me all the gory details...

[MECPInstaller]

Nice your making me want to turbocharge my dads 94 lumina van lol, along with my 3cyl diesal lawn mower:)

[Dattebayo]

Holy crap, a diesel 3 cylinder lawn mower? That would make a nice go-cart. You could burn tires on that one.

[PhaneSoul]

my moms minivan has breaten a lot of things... newest wise being a 03' sunfire, with a bodykit that added 50hp, so he told me and an exhaust

[PalmerWMD]

Herer are a couple of pics from todays NICO/502streetscene .com Co-Meet.

They include the much asked about van as well as my grey car.

Fred...

nah, they're low 15's stock.

they didn't get back into the 13's until the 96 Cobra and that's with a killer driver.

[PalmerWMD]

You're thinking the newer body style with the V8 the early 90's 5.0 were faster I really do belive whcih is why7 I amde the post.Otherwise a car in 15's is nothing to brag about.

(Also he was IHE and .3 overbore)

Thee early 5liter mustangs were fast with bolt ons but depending on what kind of mustang, it lall determines the the speed. TI used to have a '90 SSP mustang coupe. Swapped the trans for a 5 spd tremec. That car had 3.27 rear so with my ATi Procharger it would kick ***. I wish I would have turbo'd that car. My friend's incon twin turbo coupe dynoed 489whp with 0.8bar of boost.Now only if the 240 was like the mustang in the aftermarket parts world. You can literally replace everything on a mustang with something aftermarket.
