first race with my del sol
my first race with my car .... I raced this kid the other day, he had a 5.0 with a 353 rear , cold air intake with headers and exhaust .. we raced twice .. first time was close he was right behind me .. the second race i didnt spin through first .. i hooked up around 4500 and after that it was over i winded up three maybe four cars in front ... was this kid a bad driver or did he just prove the 5. slow theroy

Re: first race with my del sol (FreshSol)
whats your set up? 5.0 mustangs are pretty fast and with minor bolt ons they can be really fast.
so give us an exact run down of both cars specs.
PS i hope this wasnt on the public roads
for streetracing

Actually stock 5.0s are pretty slow. Buddy of mine with a b16 rex beat one pretty badly and he's only running a good 14.5 at the track. You'd think an 8 cyl that is relatively light would be able to run better than a 14.5

Congrats! I can't stick with 5.0's damnit. I should have bouth a b18c1. But I've raced a Sol with a b18c and It pulled about as hard as a mustang would. I'll bet the race was close.

I timed my 90 5.0 LX coupe at Sacramento Raceway and ran a 14.2 on street tires air'd down to 15psi, headers, h-pipe, exhaust, short shifter. Answer your question, Yeah he was a sucky driver.
