RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 So after the 825 hp, is Rufstang still the one? Riding in Dave's 825 hp Rocket Car is like going from a go-kart to a funny car. The Kenne Bell doesn't whine like the OEM blower on the Shelby. But the power comes on...with extreme aggession. I mean - NOW. Dave's done so many suspension upgrades that he hasn't got any wheel hop or even getting loose sideways. He needs more tire, but I mean the car just slams you back in the seat with a RIGHT NOW - BAM - feeling. It's THERE. And it just keeps pulling. Amazing. Addictive. Dangerous on city streets. Really - If I had that much power - I'd be in trouble! It's not like PK's Vette that pulls strongly and seamlessly - it's like you light an afterburner. Whaaaaammmmmmm! Like launching a Saturn V. What a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hope everyone had fun and the "bads" were really good :happy feet: We had a great evening. Dave & Marilyn's kids enjoyed the pool and the pups. We took some pics - scared the neighbors (and me) and had some pretty good pizza before they split to the motel. I hope to have breakfast with them in the morning before they roll down to Myrtle Beach for Mustang Week. Time well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyStang Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I haven't been in here in awhile and figured I'd drop in for a visit to say Hello. I thought you could use another Sexy 'Stang' in your garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyStang Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 You're always welcome! What did you and Secondo do today? That's our little secret. Last Night we did go out for another cruise in his Mustang. It was another beautiful night and there were lots of Cars out there, we must have seen over 30 Mustangs, New and Old, more than usual. He gets some 'loser' sometimes in a Ricer Car, that always wants to race his Mustang GT. But where we go to Race, here in CT it's called the Berlin Turnpike, it is totally surrounded by Cops everywhere. We can't have fun like we used to back in the day that's for sure.

Yep. Been there! We used to cruise through Mickey D's - then Wendy's and on and on. Ah - the old days. When my wife (of that time) used to call me childish for wanting to race. There was a restaurant that speciaized in prime rib down toward Berlin - big place on the north side of the road. And there was a store in Kensington - that was like a Land's End store - on the south side....oh, it's on the tip of my tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey D's was redone over and looks very nice and now is one of the biggest hangouts and Wendy's is still a huge hangout also but for a younger crowd. We go to Burger King, a little older crowd, Secondo is friends with someone that runs a Cruise Night there every Saturday Night. He used to race his '72' Mustang years ago and hardly ran into any Cops. I think it's the 'young ones' that drive these cops into a 'ticket frenzy'. Can't help you with the store name but is the restaurant your thinking of Ruth Chris's or maybe Hawthorne Inn??? Very expensive places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Oh man ...you've gotta be a permanently changed person now!!! That had to be awesome!!!! And it was probably docile as a lamb when not on it ;-) Hard to describe how it feels. There is zero throttle lag - just punch it a little and it's NOW! I didn't get even near WOT. The tires break loose very easily. That has to be a low 10 sec car with some slicks. My car is quick - but it takes time to bring up the revs. His car is so...immediate. I'm outta words. Dave - I'll never forget the experience. Very humbling! Thanks. I need to go out to the drug store for my baby. I'll post more pics a little later. Yes, Dan - the car can be driven gently without any indication of what's on tap. He's going to embarass a lot of cars - cars foolish enough to want some!! And you ought to hear the exhaust! Hellllooooo Dollyyyyy! Just about like open headers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Dan - you know you have a standing invitation! (and Jan, of course) Here's a few more pics. The silver stripes are very classy looking on the red. Pics really don't do the car justice. I had a blast with the Badkids! Badboy Jr gave Ruf a hug before they left. As did Shlbygrl Jr!! Hey guys - when you read this in Myrtle Beach - see if your hotel has a room open for Thursday night. Maybe I'll scoot down for a one nighter. I'll put the rest of the pics on Snoop's Alloy Dave thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I love the 2x12's under the ramp! I know the feeling. I had to go buy a low profile jack this weekend and even it doesnt fit all the way to the front unibody frame so jacking the car is a 2 jack proposition.

RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I told Badboy that I wasn't expecting him to take the car off the trailer while they were here. He said, "No way you're not riding and driving this car! You nuts?" :happy feet: A lot of trouble to give me some memories. Good form, my friend.
