Last night I met up with a bunch of my friends at Caribou. We of course all have some nice machines... a 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1, a supercharged 2000 Ford Mustang GT with 480 whp and a few other random cars.
Well, my buddy with the supercharged Mustang has wanted to line up with me, especially since everyone was saying "I think the Porsche has ya man!"... so we went out to test the cars. Of course everything from this point on happens in Mexico in the desert at a drag strip...
Now, to give you an idea for my car: 1st ends at ~50 mph, 2nd ends at 85 mph, and 3rd ??
The supercharged Mustang: 1st ends at ~35 mph, 2nd ends at ~58 mph, 3rd ends at ??
We line up and got the green. We both take off smoking rubber from about 0-20 mph, and thats when we hook up. Both cars stick with each other for a sec, then I think thats about the time the supercharged mustang was at the end of its 1st gear. I still have plenty of gear left, so while he is shifting, I'm pulling. Got a good half car length during that shift. He's in 2nd now and I start to pull on him good. Don't know the exact length of distance but I started to gain distance. I was at the end of my 1st gear and I hit the rev limiter a couple times - oops! so he started to get a little ground back. I quickly threw her into the next gear and thats when it was all over. 2nd gear feels like nitrous on nitrous. I start to put good distance on him... 1 car length.... He's at the end of his 2nd gear and makes the shift. I put a couple car lengths on him during the shift. He continues but now I'm in the sweet spot and I just pull on him. Holy crap I thought it would be much closer then that. Man that was a fun race.
We then decide to turn around and go back to the United States and leave this mystery drag strip in the middle of the desert in Mexico....
