11.58 @ 120

First video is in car video of a 11.72 run, still working out what rpm to launch it at and good shift points.

This is a external view of my 11.58 @120. The Trans-am red lighted. R/t was 0.1259 for me and a - 0.0571

At least you still have a local track for you to run. Ours closed this year.

That was an awesome in car video! I loved watching that tach turn red at every shift.

Thanks, the beast is a lot of fun to drive. I was playing with my shift points and my launch rpm. I just can't get enough of the sound, I love how it sounds rowing through the gears

Didn't think we needed two threads on the go. Nice time BTW.

How about a break down of your mods?

Alright, here it goes:
Steeda CAI
Boss intake
BBR 93 tune
Lethal O/R x-pipe
Cherry bomb glass packs (going on this weekend)
Side exit exhaust (going in, and its a rough to test the idea, far from a finished product)
CHE k-member brace with torque limiters
Boss Strut Tower Brace (not on right now)
Sway bars removed
Axle tubes welded
Ford racing rear end girdle
UPR axle tube braces (welding in this weekend)
BMR relocation brackets
L&M adj lca
Fayys 2 Watts link
MGW shifter
Stainless steel braided brake lines
Raptor shift light
WOT box with 2 step
Clutch helper spring removal
Cobra jet springs (going in this weekend)
Custom left front quarter panel vent ( to vent engine heat and eventually front brakes)
Custom grill
15x10 and 17x4 wheels for drag racing
With 275/60 15 MT DR, M&H skinnies up front
Lots of weight loss
I don't think I've forgotten anything.
The car is a work in progress...

Took my Mustang to the track last week. (5.0 Auto) My best, and first run, was a 13.07 @ 109mph. Bone stock except for a K&N Air filter. Had a lot of fun, I'm so glad Island Dragway reopened.

I have been racing for a few years now. I also have a 66 Mustang I take to the track. There is a BIG difference in feel between the 66 and the 13. Even thought the 66 is slower, it's more fun.

Awesome, love the early mustangs
I would imagine that the 66 is more involved to drive. More noise and alkyl that. Mine is getting to the point where it's hard to get more time out if it. Working on the driver mod
