Well it would figure my luck to have my race tires off and cat pipe on for a smog test when a brand new AMG V8 Kompressor pulls up next to me at the light. I had no idea what it really was. I just thought it was one of those SLK 2.3 jokers. Right before the light turned I looked again to see if I could see what it was. I quickly saw the V8 Kompressor emblem on the side and knew it was on for sure. I laid into it smoking my tires into second(gotta love radials!) and it was over fast. Regardless if I had hooked up and had my H-pipe in I would have lost. Those damn cars are fast. I'm pissed right now but feel a little better about the fact they have 493 horse and cost $113K. Still sucks to lose. Should have asked him if he buys his women too.

Don't feel bad.....if your Mustang had 100K worth of mods I'm sure you would go faster than him. (ALOT MORE) <IMG style="WIDTH: 39px; HEIGHT: 42px" height=49 src=smileys/smiley1.gif width=65 border="0">

When I lit the tires up he walked ahead at least 3/4 cars on me. By then trying to make up ground on him was impossible. In fact I ran my motor into detonation a little in 2nd trying to catch up (I was only running 91 fuel.) Checked the plugs, everything seems ok. Right now I'm looking into swapping my blower for a Nitrous Works 250HP system. Should take me into the low 11's. Then will see who's ahead by 3/4 cars or more!

For how much? Wait, I'll answer that one:

too much.

Get a 427, hop that up, and you'll eat those numbers alive.
