Here is the link, forgive me for I have not purchased the pics yet.

http://www.racingpixs.com/mp_includes/index.asp

Apparently I cannot directly link the pick so you must go in to view and purchase online on the right and choose 3/19/05 set 3, my car is on page 2. It is also on page 2, 3 of set 4.

That's awesome! How'd ya do?

We're taking our vacation in the Ozarks this year, maybe we'll take the Stang down there and see what she'll do. The track our here does test-n-tune on a weeknight and it's like 1 1/2 hours from our house. It sould be nice and broke in by then, she's getting built this week.

12.96 @ 105mph with a total of 5 runs, 3 out of 5 in the 12's. This is my first trip to the strip with this car so there is a lot more left in it after some suspension tuning/engine tuning after a trip to the dyno. Ozarks International Raceway has Test-n-Tune on Saturdays early in the year then they move to Firday evenings, no mid week runs. If you come through then e-mail me, I can point you to some cool places and maybe meet you at the track. dhof303@aol.com.

I don't care what that person on the other thread says (The one who changed his color) . Sonic Blue looks great and with the stripes it's fantastic.

Great run's! Your car is looking great. How are the mod's doing? You have been "lay'n low" practicing at the track eh... I've been practicing daily hoping to improve my time's at the next race. First trip out (first time at a "legal" strip) I was wheel hop'n and roast'n the tires off at the line... :bang:

Mods are working great together, I too had trouble with wheel hop and spinning at the track. I am ordering the adjustable upper control arm from Steeda that should help with the problem as it is most likely caused by the hydra-mount in the stock control arm setup. I am also ready to purchase a supercharger, I am now torn between the Procharger and the Whipple.

Good job on the car, hood, track times. I am happy to see that the new 05 ownes are proving that we have the power/hook to get into the 12's. I would venture to guess with more tuning / hookup there will average MODded 05's in the 11's common at the track. >

Those are some good times. Vacation is in July, when we go down there we'll be there from Sunday afternoon to Sunday morning the next weekend. So we should be able to go on a Friday or Saturday. I'll email you closer to July. Feel free to PM some of the cool places anytime, I'm still in the planning stage.

Good to hear Derek!! I installed the BMR LCA's and no wheel hop what-so-ever, so you should be in good shape! I too have been studying the S/C option's. I came down to the same two. I'm still up in the air though as I 'm going to do the head's and piston's and a cam and see what that does... If I had to pick a S/C right now I woulld lean toword's the Whipple. I saw it at the SEMA show and it is KILLER! Good luck and post the winner of your decesion!
