I'm waiting on an aftermarket version of the ZR1s Eaton 4-lobe - that might just sway my opinion on modding the car hard!

I have twin 3 year olds and bought a 2 seater - F practical, you only live once.
that's why my wife has the Honda Pilot. For when we actually have kids

The Mustang has always been my dream car, and always will. When I have some money I'd like to purchase 90-91 GT as a fun little project car

Building them is bad, now racing them and keeping them running is even worse.

Nothing like cooking all the fluids, all the tires and brakes and a clutch and fly in a day.

I need a cheaper hobby.

AF is right 11.9 on the spray at WOT.

1/4, my fastest to date is a 12.88 @ 112

but with that trap speed i should be high 11's low 12's. I just have to learn to launch better. 2+ second 60's suck

Really? I was thinking that was about right. I would think high 11s would trap over 120.

Goodness yes, no offense but that's a poor 60'. That cars got a lot more in it.

Auto or 5spd?

Mustangs are real easy to launch just take some practice as launching on a strip is different then the street... um so i'm told >_>

You also don't have to worry about a rear grenadeing.. like I do.

Well weight plays a big factor on trap speed, as well as your 60 foot. My friends honda civic traps high 120s but is barely out of the 12s thing spins non stop, but that's what you get for being a front wheel drive car lol.

If you can drive the hell out of the car you can trap lower with a faster ET. But that's really kinda dumbed down.

For example same friend on street tires traps mid 110s and ET is mid 13. While my camaro is 107 12.8 I'm out driving him, I also have RWD to help me.

Yeah, with a better 60' you'll obviously do better. But you're not that far off from where you should be -- you're putting out about the same power as a stock 03-04 Cobra and they run mid-high 12s all day long.

The solid axle and weight advantage is in your favor compared to a Cobra, so you could probably expect consistent mid-12s, but I don't think you'll get into the 11s without considerably more HP.

What're you running for tires? Do you have any traction mods?
