Kill Story - DO NOT READ, Smackdown On a Private Ranch Drive Options

[DBCooper]

Now I don't know this for sure, but am told it's a true story that happened to someone else. Someone else who I don't know and have never met so I'm sure it never happened. Well, there's the video, so there is that. The background: 914/WRX out cruising, lowered Honda boy taunts the little red 914, 914 demonstrates acceleration. Honda boy remembers something more important he had to do, disappears, is replaced by a Saleen Mustang who had witnessed the 914-Honda exchange from behind. Wow, a Saleen. A couple of years old, but still a Saleen. Saleen revs, 914 revs, they test their respective powers of acceleration and the Saleen is embarassed. Mustang guy has his girlfriend in the car, is reported to have looked "baffled," so they try it again, with the same results. 914 driver asks Saleen driver, "Is that really a Saleen?" Embarassed Mustanger affirms "Yeah, it is" So the 914 driver asks "Are you sure?" Amazingly, fistfight does not ensue, drivers talk, exchange information, pleasantries. Now the girlfriend looks baffled.

A Mustang's Revenge - The Video [setup] Quiet, isolated PRIVATE ranch drive. Little red 2.0 914 sits waiting for the bully 5.0 Mustang to get ready. This Mustang guy is real hot stuff (they say), and will avenge the Saleen. Lets some air out of the drag radials for better traction. Got his tires in the dirt (before the video starts) so did a burnout to clean them. Did a another burnout to warm the tires. 914 still sitting there, idling, watching all this preparation. Video starts. Mustang stages, tests traction yet again, backs up into position. Then the arms are up, the arms drop... and ...and... and... another Mustang is embarrassed.

This is a story that I guarantee you will not ever hear repeated by a Mustanger.

Nah. Hoonage existed before me, will go on after me, and in any case at my age I mostly just like to watch. Plus if they're members of this board they probably have original motors and have already figured out that that drag racing a 914 isn't that much fun anyway.

I'm proud of the 914 beating a mustang, after all it is a V8, but it looked, sounded and went like a stock 5.0 nothing special....

It had a stock bottom end, but performance aftermarket intake, big valve aluminum aftermarket heads and throttle body, cam and headers. That much we know. Supposedly ran mid-11's in 120's on the bottle, so definitely not stock, but you never know when asking about someone's car. Sometimes those facts can be shiftier than their ex-wives.

SO the moral of the story is if you want to beat a mustang buy a Subaru! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Or at least drop a Subaru engine/tranny in a teener! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Nah, no moral, just some fun. Anyway, no one in his right mind would drag race a 914.
