It's funny, you give others like Nick and myself shit all the time, but anyone gives you some shit about your car you get super defensive and bent out of shape.

You've been talking mad smack about your 500rw Mustang like no one has seen that before. Then bench race your ass off over hypothetical numbers you don't even have yet telling other people they are a waste of your gas. lol. I mean come on, if you had the tune and knew the number, then fine.

It's going to be a quick car, yes and will be fun as hell to drive around town. It will make somewhere between 700-760rw would be my guess, but for you , I'll say 700-800rw. But guess what, it will be a quick 5.0 among the 5.0 crowd, but in the street race scene it's still a "sandbox" car and no where near the "mountain" group and that is what I am referring to when I call my car "slow". What is "fast" is relative. I've been at the 500-550rw power level for the last 8 years, that's just what I am used to so it's a given a 400rw car is going to feel slow. My complaint about the car being slow is just wanting to go a lil crazier this time making more power and I will get there in time if I keep the car long term.
Oh I'm sorry I guess 500 rwhp NA out of a coyote 302 is so fucking common nowadays. I'm sorry and if you think I'm only going to make between 700-760 with a 300 shot then you have no clue about cars. And I talk a big game about it cause I know it will happen. This isn't my first fast car and especially not my first nitrous car. And then calling me a bench racer what the fuck did I do yesterday. I raced against a guy that makes 50 more hp and 200 more tq then I do and I killed him. Even though he was on shitty as tires according to you professionals it doesn't matter how you win. So yes I will continue to talk a big game cause what other new 5.0 have you seen in my league? I have a unique build that you will not see to often.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
