Why did I ever buy a mustang gt??

I was browsing around on moddedmustangs.com and come across this guy several times and just made me laugh! F8L GT is his name and all his stats are hilarious!

2002 Mustang GT
12.80@106.19

261HP/299TQ

12s N/A, All stock long block!!


He has HUGE drs in the back and from talking to him in posts sounds like a douche about his car.
My first thought was fail, then "didnt drus tbss do a 13.01 on streets?" haha

you have to look at his car to get the real joke!

Do I need to add the 20s! LOL

dammm big ass slicks for 260 hp lmaoo! bet he still says it spins off the line lol

does this guy live around here? ran a stang that looked like this with out the slicks and WAXED him!

^did said mustang have black bullits with 10.5's out back?


but hey don't hate. my h/c/i ls1 runs 14's

What makes it so hard for you to believe I ran those numbers? those numbers where before I had the 28s on the rear. the reason for the 28s is because I had plans to run a 125 shot and my car already has 4:10s in it. FYI it has ran a best of 12.55 and i can post a time slip if you dont believe it. sorry for knowing how to drive my car

we know what gearing does...he has sold the 2v long ago so the argument really wouldn't do any good. We do know that SOME 2v's can be quick with a good driver. I applaud your driving skills...but we do have one of the fastest 2v's in the country here....so we do know a few things about 2v's and especially gearing.

Do post some vids tho...

they were done with a fip video so the end of the track isnt too clear. plus my fiance hadnt learned to keep the camera on until the board lit up. i will get them quick


edit: i by all means never side i had the fastest 2v or anything near the fastest

Lol I like this joke!

was that done on stock suspension? I can see where you are saying you spun the tires cause you did a bit....

no its not stock. the only thing stock with any of the suspension was a arms and k member in the front

what also wasnt mentioned is that my car has gone through major weight reduciont and is only 2900 lbs w/o driver

did you have adjustable uppers? what was the pinion angle? Tire pressure on these runs? Something is not allowing you to hook up...it could be weight transfer as you were on stock Kmember and I assume stock struts.

wow thats pretty damn light....is it fully gutted? Imagine that thing with a tubular K-member/A-Arms/Coilovers

i was in the middle of getting the suspension dialed in when i lost 3rd due to the common problem with these pos 3650 transmissions. i had adjustable uppers but have a set of relocated uppers waiting to go in. that and more weight reduction will be done after im done fabricating the trans

i was bored last winter and removed every assembly tab and any little thing that wasnt needed along with removing all the sound deadening and insulation from under the carpet and behind the interior plastics.

yeah thats some serious weight reduction....I assume door bars are all gone as well as bumper supports?

yes, it is not longer a street car and also am in the process of finishing up my face plated 3650

thats a good move. I know the turbo bullitt had a Liberty faceplated tranny and he loved it.

liberty wanted 3500 to face plate the stock 3650. we decided to fabricate our own in house. heres a link to some of the fabricating

so do you have your own machine shop to do this stuff at? looks good! What kind of gears are you using?

we have a fabrication shop doing everything from collision work to tube chassis drag cars, circle track cars, street rods, all the way to trailer cabinets.



The gears are the stock helical gears modified with the synchro teeth machined off. the dog rings were machined out of 8620 steel and machined to be a press fit onto the gears and then welded and heat treated

sounds like you guys are doing some work...thats always good to see, someone doing their own work and something new at that. Keep us updated....I am interested to see how deep you can take this 2v with a stock long block and stock cams....

those are my plans. I may swap out the gears to 4:30s since I have the 28" tires now.
