My first mustang ever had 120k on it before I ever put a nitrous kit on it, in fact, out of the 8 or so mustangs I've owned, none of them had less than 120k on them, and just about every one of them got sprayed and raced. Why is it always apples/oranges when you try to talk to import guys

Brilliant deduction. Perhaps Billy has forgotten my 300zxt. That car had way over 100k before the NOS went on. Used a bottle a week for over 1 1/2 yrs and sold it to a guy that drove it back to Baton Rouge running like a dream.

You said "There are more imports at the track w/ 100k than there are Mustangs or any other domestics. I'd wager on that." and I said that they probably don't have stock motors. Yes, there are plenty of exceptions, but the majority of fast Honda's are swapped, as are the majority of 240's, and those two cars make up the majority of imports at the track. I'll never understand how someone can swap in a motor that was never delivered in their type of car and then call it "stock"
