I have a 97 GT with few mods. On my way home last night, about 1ish, i saw 2 cars run up behind me and eventually pass me. I have about a two mile strip of highway on 90 in texas. well i let them go for a few seconds (my girlfriend was in the car so i was reluctant to push it) but within a matter of seconds i downshifted to fourth and punched it about a quarter of the way through the riverbottom. i caught up with them at about 90 and they started pushing it. where i was at was only a 2 lane and they were in both lanes. they were a honda crx and a hundai tiburon gt. Well i kept riding their ass at about 105 (my speedos off about 2 mph at 40 so it was more) and eventually the crx got out of my way. after the the Gt kept rolling beside me until i floored the 5th and smoked them both. it made me laugh. What my me laugh more is the fact that they got back to me at a red light down the road. We're in the city now and theres a bike rally going on, so i know there are cops around. Well they both started revving their engines and lining up... even though the wear over the white line before the light turned green, and sped off. Although half the ricers i toy with i laugh at. They think they got what it takes to mess with a v8. there are a few im quite worried about. but rev your engine and ill probably call you on it. Well this adds to my list of wins. I want to race something spiffy that has a good driver. I suck at driving in my Opinion. I dont know my hp but my next check goes towards a dyno testing.

I bought the car from a dealership (with mods done to it) last december as my first car. ill be 18 when i celebrate our first anneversary but it had a 65 mm throttle body. i put a 75mm BBK. The car has had a Nitrous system and a supercharger on it. I didnt notice the Nos till the other day when i saw the wholes in my trunk carpet. I lifted it up to find welded mounts that had been grinded off and a whole cut in the carpet in front ot the gas tank hose or whatever. I DO NOT know much about cars. But I'm really trying to learn. Ive loved classics since, well, forever and i kinda aspire to be able to do my most of my own car work myself. but other than noticable stuff under the hood i dont know. It has aftermarket wiring and headlights. and cobra rims. it had dumps on it but the exhaust fumes were killing me so my dad had it tipped. it has the tri-ax shifter with a B&M handle. Theres also a hole cut in the driver side carpet right beside the door in front of the seat and i dont have a clue why. and it has a k&N air filter with stock intake. I want to have my engine rebuilt and tuned and figure out what (if anything) internal mods have been done.
This type of thread makes me sad. I'm an old fart, I remember when when Mustangs used to be concerned with Vettes and Chargers, and Z28s, muscle baby muscle. A tiburon and a civic.[&o]

So it has nitrous, a supercharger AND the stock intake with a k&N on it??!!? IF you had nitrous and a supercharger i would be hoping for a little more than 250HP
you bought a used car that had both a supercharger and nitrous on it at one point? i hope YOU didn't actually pay for it. buying a used car with miles is one thing, cause you don't know how well it was maintained. buying a used car that had multiple owners and has put not 1, but 2 different types of forced induction is another.
oh, and you'll need full boltons to get to past that 200RWHP mark.
Demolished 2 ricers last night.
