Mine went 10.20's at 140 last time out at MIR. With a 100 shot to help out the blower. Doesn't count at all anymore since it's been returned to stock, but she was pretty quick at one time.

Last time I was at Dallas Raceway, I coasted through the lights at a 10.12 at ~140mph.

I let off just past the 1000' mark as the car started spinning the tires and got sideways. I hope to hit Ennis before the summer heat gets here. I should get in one "glory pass" before I get booted out.

I'm pretty sure it will.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Mine has been 10.51 @134 with a very early 1-2 shift. That was before my last round of mods and about 90 hp lower than I am now. Hoping for some solid 9's at 140+ Next time out.

Yes Sir! Needed a hero run for her swan song. I had a feeling I was done with her and wanted to go out on a high note before returning her to stock. Now to see what the 43 year old thing can do.

It would be hard to make any reference point out of autocross times, because the course changes every event. I usually just compare to other mustangs at the event to judge my performance. Road races venues on the other hand can be a good judge, but for most track days transponders aren't rented and even for race weekends like NASA put on transponders are only rented to HPDE 3/4 participants and issued to actual racers. So most times you get will be from phone apps being used by the car owners. Ok on the accuracy but not exactly standardized.

I ran TWS this past weekend with NASA and my best lap was a 2:09, saw 137mph on the big straight. That was a first. I recently upgraded my 2006 to a 2012, so I haven't raced MSR or ECR yet in the new ride. Should be much quicker than previously.

Swapping to 3.27's and E85 next week. I'm hoping the ET's will yield a mid 10 in the mid 130's
