going fast help

A factory mustang might be quick. But not that quick. And MOST, are driven by people who think they can drive MUCH better than they really can. I used to beat 750cc motorcycles with a small block stick Cuda. Fairly regualrly. Not because I had tons of power. Because they could ride to save their butts. The Camaros (F bodies) make every bit + in some cases of their advertised power. I've witness 320hp on 10K mile cars on a chassis dyno. But, with low profile hard speed rated tires, and an itchy driver, they cant stick until 1/2 way thru 2nd. Happens all the time. Which is why I say put something together, and get in the game. You'll see what you really need. Not base it on internet guys and magazines. I broke that 340, swapped in a 70K mile 318, and still ran the NOS plate for 1.5 years. I didnt lose much. I learned a ton about real life...lol.
