    true, but that feeling you get when youre reeling in a slower car without breaking out if you dont is a nice little rush of adrenaline. ive been on both ends of that stick lol.

      bracket racing: lol it is pretty damn fun. kind of a bummer being in the slower car a bit though, being in the faster car and getting to run them down is great though.
      I reallly love it when the pair ahead of you leaves on their run and the kid in the VW/Honda/Toyota in the other lane drives right to the line and stages.

      I haven't even got my tires wet yet and the starters calling me to the line:twak:

          I hate that crap, then it makes me feel rushed to get to the line. But Ive learned to say srew it and do my normal routine every time

                    I usually just write down the temp,barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, humidity, I try to do everything the same before each pass, like take it around the pits to get everything warmed up, leave the AC or heat off while getting ready to race, my tire pressure is usually always the same even though I tend to keep it higher as I drive a long way to and from the track.

                          If its a 3.8 Stang you should take em. A 4.0 stang will probably walk away from you. A 3.7 stang will make you cry.

                            a 95-98 4.6L GT only had 215 hp stock and about 300tq.

                            If its an auto you may beat him.

                            I ran a 98 5 speed with a 100 shot in my 94TA(CAI,Headers) and got him by 2 lengths.

                              >.> As it turns out, I missed the GT part..
                              The SN95 GTs are slow. New edge gt isn't much faster, but 05+ is respectable. If its a Fox, and you lose to a 5.bro, sell your car.
