Guys, last night for the first time in over a year I got to drive my 35th. OMG, it was so exhilarating to drive her once again I nearly soiled myself with excitement It took no effort to roast the rear tires right off it. Litterally, I could easilly burn the rear tires all threw 1st, 2nd and the beginning of 3rd gear with ease. Reason why I got it out is because I am renting a garage at an apartment complex here in town. It was quite an experience getting it there as I put only the driver's seat back in it so I could get it to it's new home and I duck taped on a pair of head lights that came off my 91 SC after I wrecked it last year so I could have lighting since I was driving it at night.
One of my mustang buddys has been itching to race it all summer so I could not resist the oppertunaty to race him. He has a '99 GT 5spd with flowmasters, cold air, and a short throw shifter. We raced out in the country twice last night. First time I had really bad wheel hop in first gear so I shifted to second and it just roasted the rear tires as I held it at WOT. He also had a tire spinning frenzy launch so by time both of us hooked he was ahead of me by a few feet. That race ended with my front bumer a few feet behind his rear. Next race we both had much better launches with minimal tire spin. He got a little jump on me but not much. This time I held with him the entire time and finished the race with my front bumper dead even with his driver side door. I was so pumped up after that race I did not even care that I had lost both races I was just thrilled that I was basically as fast as his '99 GT.
Deffinately, last night will be an evening that I will remember for a long time. This just gives me the go fast urge even more and makes me want an AR really bad. Maybe I'll delay my building of the big block car some so I can make sure that the 35th is road worthy for next year. Who knows but I am going to have fun with either car no matter what happens.
