I finally got the GN to the track last friday, with the new mods. While I was there I made 3 passes. I was on street radials, 18psi and 100 octane with a street chip, through the muffs screwing around and having fun. While in the staging lanes, I lined up next to a SN95 car, with slicks and skinneys, roll bar, etc. Nice looking, mean sounding car. Well, the guy driving was probably upper 20s and there was a few younger guys hanging around his car. While waiting for super pro to run my buddys and I were standing there BSing while these "Mustang Guys" were doing the same. I overheard them laughing at my GN, making fun of the license plate and such. I started the car to cycle the coolant and of course its very quiet. I could hear the kids saying things like, "man, you cant even hear that POS run, I bet it runs 15s, so-and-so is gonna smoke him." Things of that nature. Anyway, got ready to run and he does his huge burnout and revs the motor. I do my quiet little street tire burnout and pull forward. I let him stage first, then rolled up to pre-stage. Built some boost and staged. I left on about 3psi or so, and rolled into the throttle. I clicked off a 2.007 to his 1.993 on slicks. The boost came in about mid 1st gear and hazed the tires a little. 2nd gear slams and we were dead even. The 1/8th mile passes and Im at 8.19 to his 8.31, had 1mph on him. We got a race here! I then proceeded to lock the converter, and from there I saw him fade some. He did stay on my back bumper, but he couldnt pull me. I ran through the traps at 12.57 @ 112.06mph to his 12.77 at 110mph. Had about a car on him. We shut down and came back around into the staging lanes. His buddys awaiting him, and my buick buds waiting for me. My friend Bryan says, "hey did you just beat that Mustang?" I said something like, "yep, on street tires too." 
The Mustang boys didnt like that too much. Needless to say, they didnt say a word the rest of the night. Gotta love that!!!!!!! Oh yeah, and I drove home too, Mustang rode on a trailer. Just thought Id share! It made my night!
PS-made one more pass that night, 12.42 at 112.02mph, 1.94 60ft on radials. The car is faster now in "street" trim then it was before in full race, slicks, etc. I cant wait to tune it in some more, throw on slicks and run 24psi.
