Had the 78 out after 2 years of sitting with video

My 78 has sat for 2 years because i have been having too much fun with a 2.3 Turbo 89 Mustang coupe. (runs 12.9s)

Alot of people would always ask wheres the other car ,you still got it? Is it broken lol So i got the urge.

Took it out to the track, The car was ok, the air was poor ,air density was 5400 feet. There was no prep on the track, terrible 1.7s 60' (can get 1.5s) was just a Street drags Friday nite.

First run 11.78 @ 114.2 1.79 60' lol

Second run 11.72 @ 114.2 1.72 60' Some one got this vid http://www.calgarystreetracing.net/movies/Stang.wmv
Right click and save as (hope it works)

Third run 11.69 @ 114.8 1.70 60'

After 3 runs i was happy for now, car ran fine. I will head back later this year and run some 11.3s again when our air gets back to 3500.

Verry nice.
I wish I had been there.
I couldn't open the video
Must be a Mac thing.
I'll check it out at work tonight.
Hope you had fun with it, it must be nice to blow the dust off and run like that.

Vid doesn't work for me either. It tries to load it, then says the source filter could not be loaded.

It only counts if the 4 banger is all motor and beats up on the V8.(Unless the V8 is Forced Induction also.)

P.S. Awesome vid, btw.

Turbo 5.0 car had 18" rims and radials, he ran 123 mph in 1 of the races with me
