On the way to Austin, I ran into a 5.0 stang. It had flows to what I could tell. So we decided to see if I could egg him on. My friend Carlos was with me, and I had a full tank of gas. Each time he started before me and I had to catch up but by 110 I was pulling from him. Again we did it from 65~. started. We both lanched, and I pulled good from him when we both took off at the same time! Hehehe it was funny. 5.0 down! I think that is like 10 to my list now!

Next car was a guy named Tim with a Supercharged Camry 5spd. Well, we could never get lined up due to traffic but I was behind him and when he punched it, we were dead even till about higher rpms, and then he just started pulling away from me, not fast, but it was still a pull. Was like see ya! hehehe...oh well! :O

Ok isn't it about time you get a Y-pipe? Your third gear onwards is going to be significantly faster! Do you have one on now or what?

Ya win some ya lose some. But beating that stang not only feels good but the owners are usually like " I just got beat by a family sedan?!?!" Puts them in perspective.

Your right but the 5.0 only has 225 at best and they are getting old and out of tune.....just be careful one day we will have rubber thrown all over our windsheilds by a crazy sleeper 5.0.

ooooo.....a SCed Camry, eh???
it's ok...considering only aftermarket performance mod you have is the intake, just wait till you get the y-pipe and cat-back exhaust, pulley and other fuel management systems and you will be able to go head-to-head(if not pull away) from that camry...the SCed camry dynoed at around 220-230 hps...since they are running the Eaton(the roots kind) supercharger, it's good but not excellent...

a supercharged Maxima's going to blow all 4(or 2) doors off SCed camrys!!!
