Hey all, just got back from WFC 8. Yeah, I know, it isn't even the end of the weekend yet but haven't you heard of bieng put on the trailer after first round of eliminations? I lost to a Pinto of all things! He cut a .003 light and ran within 2 100ths of his dial in. I tried to catch up to him because of my .051 light and ended up breaking out 2 100ths from my dial in. All things aside and correct me if I am wrong I was the fastest N/A 24 valve 05 at the event. There were several 05 stangs there with 8 of them supercharged. Even the supercharged stangs couldn't get into the 12s on the first day. Out of 6 passes I ran the following times.
13.11 105mph 1.78 60ft
12.94 106 1.73
12.93 106 1.72
12.99 106 1.76
12.85 106 1.74
12.88 106 1.73

I did run on MT ET streets but the increased tire height did not help things, stock geared stangs hit a brick wall without boost at 26 inch tall tires. :bang:

P.S. 169Stang, congrats on your 12.84, always 1/100th of a second ahead! Good luck getting your rear fixed.

 

Great times!

 

Can't wait for my first time at the strip!

 

Great times Derek. I wish I had the patience to hammer down your times when I was more stock. I just didn't want to miss out on all the fun. I wish I could go to the events over your way. I need to get more seat time and improve my skills. I've been getting pretty good at cutting a fair R/T with .070 or better. At my local track, if you cut anything better than a .009, you get free entry into the track on your next visit. I've only earned 1 so far. I'm just trying to earn free runs. Well, I would rather pay the $15, than pay for breakage! Awesome times! We need to meet up at one of these events.

 

Great times guys!

 

You should both be proud of your times!!

 

Those are beasts....keep up the awsome times

 

For all of you guys out there that are worried about the stock gears, I have been doing hard burnouts since day 1 with this car and have been launching with the stock clutch on slicks at 5000 RPM. My gears and clutch have been holding up fine, of course I dont make over 300 hp at the rear wheels either.

 

Great times! I still can't get over the 60' times you guys are getting. I know the car hooks well, but that is some great driving. :worship:

 

Great numbers.

 

Here is a link to some pics of the races, you can browse through each day and see there were some awesome 05s there. The really fast ones were running 4 valve mod motors with centrifugal superchargers, sponsored of course.

Were you able to run thru the Traps in 3rd gear?I noticed i shifted right at the traps into fourth,so i wanted to make next run and hold 3rd all the way but i did not get to run again yet.

 

I have the SCT tune that allows me to raise the rev limiter up to about 6800, with the M/T ET street slicks I go through the lights about 6200, with street tires (40 series) I go through about 6600.

 

Wow. Very consistent times. Looks like you've really made the most of some relatively minor modifications. Great driving of a great car.

 

In what gear do you go thru at? Or is your car an aoutomatic?

 

Fuzion 275/40/17 Tires.... Are these on stock rims, dhof303??

 

Congrats on the ETs dhof303.
I showed you and stangs stats to my mopar buddy.
Hes still shakin his head
