Haha, one day no one from my Z crew showed up to our Saturday meet, so I decided to go to a Ford dealer and drive a 5.0 with the track package and 3.55 gear.

Look what happened?

This post underscores the point, "spend more, get more ". Our 370's can be the exception to the rule, but not in this case.

Back in the day when the SRT-4 was "the" sport compact, I used to call them the "fastest car in the world" because of how the owner's behaved. You'd go to their forums and see some kid in a stock SRT-4 saying he beat new 911 Turbo that was running more boost.

That and they insisted they were SRT-4s, not Neons.

funny, one of my coworkers feels the same way about his 08' Roush after getting his ass handed to him on an abandoned air strip by me

Hes trading his in for a fully loaded 11' 5.0, cant say I blame him.

LOL OF COURSE YOU CAN'T... You were probably racing him just to recruit him into your seedy little world of '11 Stang GT's. Don't lie.
