Has anybody ever done a standing start 1 mile measured run? I got a chance to see a couple of Fox Mustangs and a 2001 Bullitt run at the Maxton, NC Hot Rod Challenge this past Saturday. It is run by the East Coast Timing Association.
I wasn't throughly impressed by any of them, especially the Bullitt. The two Mustangs were newer fuel injected LX's. I couldn't tell you the year but I think they were 90 to 92 based on the body trim. Anyway, one pulled a 108 MPH, I think it was sick or something. The other one pulled a 125 or so on the first pass and a 129 on the second pass. Both 5.0s appeared to be bone stock.
The Bullitt's first pass was a 122 and his best pass was a 127! I thought they were faster than that but apparently not.
The fastest car there was some sort of racing hotrod thing. I can't tell what those cars are even of I get up close to them. Anyway, he pulled a 255 and the fastest motorcycle was a 237.
