Saw a nice mustang this weekend...

Was a 2000+ GT I think. Not quite sure on the year. Black...gorgeous.

and damn was it FAST...we pulled up at a stop light, I actually bogged
the engine accidentally on launch so that didn't help. So he tore me
up on that. Then a few minutes later, we went at it again from a 45mph
side by side roll. Did good there, but he still pulled on me. Think if
I had shifted down to 1st instead of 2nd I probably would've been able
to keep even, but that would've been the BEST I could hope for.

Man, I wanna see wtf he's got underneath that hood...

Nowhere near 120 HP unless it is heavily modded. More like 99 ponies and 43
ft/lbs torque. See http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcyam/01r6.html and
http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcyam/m.../01r6dyno.html for more info.

120 at the crank, 100 at the wheel.

I'd believe it. At 15,500 rpm, the torque to hp conversion factor is
3.0 (15,500/5252). So 120 hp would require only 40 lb-ft of torque.

180 Out
