For Stock Rigs Only

I’ve never liked cars and I never will, but Ford takes the cake with the 5.0 Mustang. Can’t wait to drive my brothers Mustang with the new Whipple. I’ve gapped a BMW M3 with the stock Mustang.

 

Adam's apple? Or apple pie?

I know....I know. It's a gift. You're welcome.

 

Heh, thanks Doug! This is my first pie, but I've done other baking stuff. I've perfected a banana bread recipe I've ad-libbed and seems to turn out well. The amount of cookies from scratch I make during the holidays, oof! Now it looks like I'll need to add this pie to my yearly fall baking list...

 

The people I chatted with Sunday really dig the "Black Bean".

 

So we can expect a goodie/care package around the holidays?

 

It's really neat to see how many people say it's their favorite vehicle to see out racing. Especially as it "salutes" around most corners. I let a couple of the regulars who wanted to try it take it out on fun runs after the event. The unanimous decision was that I need bucket seats and more power. A couple of them were a bit scared of the throttle since they were sliding around so much on the bench seat!

 

Here are some of the cars I drove back when I detailed at a hole in the wall shop.


Hennessey Stingray






Mercedes AMG GT 53




BMW M4





BMW X5 M50i





Mercedes AMG CLS 53





Fastest muscle car I’ve driven to date has been that Stingray, and fastest import for me is a tie between the BMW M4, Mercedes GT53, and the BMW X5 M.

 

I'd love to see a lot of those go around the autocross course. And laugh as miatas beat them... fastest thing I've driven would probably be one of the supercharged miatas on Hoosier slicks around the course. What a blast that was.

 

I'm still floored at how fast you're all are able to zip through those cones (that short chicane section). Everytime I was thinking "they're gonna hit it, they're gonna hit it". But nobody did.

 

I'm down for some pie!

 

"Floored" aka exactly what I was doing to the throttle! The gentleman I let co-drive my truck couldn't quite get the timing right to go full throttle through that section and hit a few of them. But he had a great time and was talking about buying a Tacoma of his own now.

 

He's not sharing.

 

That aint right.

 

Man that pie looks awesome! I'm sure it wouldn't ship well... but dang do I want some now.

 

Un-American!!

 

He could tweak the recipe and make apple squares.

 

You ever done a dyno test?

 

On my truck? Pffft No it's stock. On motorcycles? Yeah quite a few times, used to work in a bike shop that did tuning.

 

I bet it is.
