I had tuned my car best I could on the street but never ran anybody.
Decided to go about 15 miles to local 1/8 mile strip.
My wife ,2 children, and myself went one Friday test and tune night last year.
We backed next to the fence , unloaded the cooler and chairs out of the trunk and I opened the hood to col down before first run.
Next to me parked a couple late mustangs, 2005-2007,a young man and his girlfriend.
Both gt, one 5- speed and one auto. Mostly stock except for flow masters.
The guy in the stick ran 9.40, the girl in the auto ran 9.50.
They seemed real friendly at first , grinned and waved.
After I ran a 9.06 , they wouldnt even look my way...
Even with hood up, my car looks like a pos...
Before the night was over a guy in his late 30s came buy several times and looked
Under the hood, he finally said to me that's no amc engine. I ask what it was and he
Said Pontiac. I asked how he knew. He said he has a gto.
I told him the truth and we talked about half an hour.
He asked more than once for me to price the engine, I never did, think I am going
To keep it.
Ps- during the build of the car wife couldn't understand why I was putting the wrong
Brand of engine in a car. Now she thinks it's cool.
Pss-where do ipost questions about turbo 400 speed gear choice,I did
not c a tranny section?
