Dear Street Fiends,
Earlier this year, my dad and I got in a close call. We were doing our weekend thing (looking for victims) in his ’81 Vette. I won’t divulge all the details, but he’s done some modifications to the stock 350 and it’s pumping out around 400-450 HP. We usually would take a short trip up to Racine, WI, which was about 10 miles north of where we lived; Kenosha, WI. Well on our way back home, from what was mostly an uneventful night, we caught up to a ’10 Mustang GT. He threw a few revs at us, and at the next light he took off…and my dad caught up.
BUT, when we caught up, we also caught up with a highway patrol officer. My dad slammed on the brakes and downshifted (probably not the best idea), and we ended up slowing down RIGHT next to the cop in 3rd gear at about 3,500 RPM. Not good. He shined his spot light on us, looked at the Mustang in front of us, and continued down the road for about another quarter mile until he met up with another officer on the side of the road. WHEW!! It was a close one and we were still shaking when we got home!
Yeah not smart on my part!!! Those pesky stangs need to learn their place!!
Lol. One time I was in Joliet with my old ’93 stang and I was racing a camaro to test out the nitrous and we were haulin’ ass and when we let off all of a sudden we see a cop come right up next to us and we quickly turned. He followed for a little while but backed off. Scared the crap outta us. Also that night I ended up breaking one of my pushrods. Dont know how it didnt fall into the engine That’s when I got smart and upgraded to one piece pushrods lol
