86 560 SEC AMG body Euro VS 99 Mustang GT
First night I had the car insured. I noticed a bright Yellow Mustang GT Keeping up to me on the HWY as I weave in and out of light traffic just cruising at about 75MPH. Take my exit and he just so happens to take the same one.
Roll up to the light and he rolls up right beside me. We give each other a look and we both knew it was on. Light is about to change so I get ready and pop to my lowest gear atthe bottomof my shift gate. Switch the mode from E to S. I hear him idle it a bit higher getting ready for his launch, but before I could prepare for mine, the light went green and he got on it. I floored it from idle and watched him jog away ahead of me up to about 60 MPH where I than shifted up and his pull started to stop, but by that time we had already hit the next red lights.
I pull up to the left turning lane and we exchanged some words. I asked him if he was stock and he said he was chipped. He asked me and I told him my story that I had just got the car and that the timing was out and it has a few problems. He complimented me on my car. Nice guy.
I was quite impressed at how his pull stopped after I shifted up.
That happend about a month ago and now the timing is fixed and I had realized that I had started off in 2nd gear as well and that my car has some throttle issues where the throttle only opens 3rd of the way. I can't wait to get this beast running right.
Stock 99+ GT's run Mid-Low 14's.
