Took the Fox out to Mustang Madness yesterday. I had fun even though I only got 1 run in compared to some guys that got 10 LOL. 1 run for $40 ..Oh well its my own damn fault for not getting the roll bar installed in time...I ran 10.67@135 with a ****ty 1.7 60ft. 1/8th mile time was 6.9@104. I wanted to try to run again to improve the 60ft. and see what it would run but it was an emphatic NO from Tech staff ..I was surprised by the 135MPH especially in this heat out here in Cali. They also told me I need an NHRA license to go 135+. I'm not going back out there until I get everything installed and up to specs.

Holy smokes, that moving. Serious mph for a mild setup like that.

Nice run!

What kind of numbers does your fox see on the dyno?

135 is moving. Once you actually hook that number will come down but so will your ET. Nines here you come!

Nice run last night Matt. U havent even raced the thing in a couple of months & u go out & run 1 pass & get your best all time MPH!!! Cant wait to see what it does with the good tune, cooler temps, & hooking a 1.5 again.... u need to hurry up & get that cage in there ASAP!!!!

You guys have got to see this car in person. Its one of the cleanest foxes around, totally streetable & docile when you want it to be, but it will rip 10's easily. It also has taken a few cars by surprise lately including a C6 Z06 when we were cruising in Mexico a few weeks ago....

Here are some crappy vids from last night. I didnt even film the whole run because my digital point & shoot couldnt even focus far enough to see the ET & MPH....

Thanks for the replys guys. I haven't put this car on a dyno so i'm not sure of the numbers. I have a custom SCT tune from Bob Kurgan. That pass I was on CA crap 91 pump gas and my 26 degree street tune. I was running the Snow Methanol kit which helped in the heat. So I think I might be able to squezze another MPH or so when I switch to the 28 degree tune + 104 octane. I know from experience that I always pick up MPH in the winter months as well when its 50 degrees out. I'm going to be installing the 8 point and i'm going to get an anti-roll bar with new upper and lower LCA's. I'm shooting for consistent high 1.4 60's. I wanted to get this car into the 10.20-10.30 range but if I have a chance at 9's i'm going for it

Nice times. Serious mph. Is that a stock block? I don't think you wanna know the power numbers if it is. It's gotta be damn near if not over 600 to the tires.
