Brought the car to the dragstrip:Results

[d98gt]

but no video or pics of my first pass!!

 

[sneaky98gt]

That is just ridiculous.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

great drving and an awesome looking car

 

[d98gt]

Appreciate it guys--I am still shocked by the results My first pass was going to be a shakedown pass but it hooked so I decided to see what I could manage I was actually a bit afraid on the second pass so wasn't so hard on the car!

Maybe I will eventually run out there when the car is clean and I can get a photo where my eyes appear normal? lol

 

[Dark04GT]

Wow, great times. HRP is a fast track. Congrats.

 

[d98gt]

There is no doubt that the track is fast--fastest in the nation possibly.

DA was negative and I know the guys that stayed there until 11 and such got some GREAT weather. I was pleased after my two passes.

 

[LaserSVT]

Car is a fuggin demon! It amazes me just how fast that thing is, I want one so fuggin bad.

 

[d98gt]

27k It's only money

 

[LaserSVT]

If I sold my Mark that would still leave me 17k short.

I have to wait a couple years and find one used. There is no doubt about it though, a 2011+ GT will be my next car! I wanted another Cobra but screw that, the 2011 GT is twice the car the 03/04 Cobras were.

Very nice though mang! Keep ahead of them Houston Vette boys!

 

[d98gt]

If all else fails, I will spray it before the vette knocks me down on the 1/4 mile

Just kidding Mark, don't cry!

 

[Winters98GT]

27k It's only money

Bill needs a job first.

 

[LaserSVT]

I iz teh bum!

For sale: 97 mustang GT, rare factory color, only 1419 produced, looks great and 88 mustang - FAST. Both for only $27K or trade for '11 5.0 mustang.

 

[PULMEOVR]

Those new 5.0s are incredible! Congrats!

 

[d98gt]

Thanks guys

Come December I plan on atleast having basic bolt-ons instead of being stock. JLT should be releasing their REGULAR intake (good for around 15 to the wheels)in the next few weeks as I don't want to purchase the carbon fiber version.
I am considering a good axleback with an o/r midpipe. Just these mods alone should put me at 400 to the wheels so I will be fine

 

[Kornnut]

Amazing


I would sell my left nut for one of those cars right now.

 

[d98gt]

I personally value my testicle (especially my left one) at more than 50k. I give most of my credit to the track and location (great air). I imagine a GREAT driver could get a bit more out of but then again, it wouldn't hurt someone else to break my car

These launches weren't with me really stressing the car TOOOOOOOOO much, just around 3500 rpm launches.

 

[d98gt]

Got the car on the dyno today...and you guys aren't going to believe these numbers.
Run #1 is 100% stock. 93 octane fuel, stock intake, blah blah blah
Run #2 is with 93 tune on sct

those are some nice numbers out of a 5.0, just had one at the dyno day w/ a 93 tune and cat-back that made 359rwhp SAE, did pulls in 4&5 gear.

 

[d98gt]

My pull were done in 5th gear with a large amount of cool down between each runs.

Of course the shop fan was on and a bag of ice on the intake as well.
