Well gang I'm getting ready for www.mnmayhem.com and made a trip today...
My father lives in western Wisconsin and has a 12 second 1986 Mustang GT. He bought it 4 years ago and we drove it back from Virginia to Wisconsin at 50mph. I left my 84 Mustang at my parents place in WI and picked up his 86 to drive to the event next Saturday.
Its an incredible machine...one that on long trips I wear earplugs in. No radio, no AC, no cruise, rollcage, no back seat, etc.....very loud. It was built as a 10 second car as the previous owner had a s/c on it. He took it off and sold it to someone else before my dad bought the car. Its set up as a 10 sec car...and thats where she'll be again. My long term goal is to put a s/c back on it. Should run 10.5 @ 125 or so.
My best time in it has been 12.39 @ 109 with a 1.69 0-60 foot time. He's agreed to sell it to me...after I get the s/c on the Marauder :)
Anyway....I pulled into the garage this afternoon, right next to the Marauder. Got about 2 feet from her and WTF? The Clifford Alarm goes beserk on the Marauder. All the lights and whistles are sounding....I couldn't believe it.
I never touched the car...but the rumble and shaking of the Mustang (as she is very loud and basically shakes the ground) was enough to set off the vibration alert on the Clifford alarm!
Looks like this Mustang is getting the 4th garage stall when I buy it :D with the Marauder in #1.
Had to share... should be nice having two 12 second cars in the garage!
Even if they are 3 stalls apart!
