I really liked their stats layout stuff. Easy access to a lot of information about the car without needing to search.

Don't go showing me 60ft times from so and so, 1/8mi times from another source, and 1/4mi times from yet another.
no i would not stick with such a low number that would be purposely downplaying the cars true performance for arguements sake, and that is just silly. and i know the camaro is capable of more so hennesseys numbers are out the window for me.

i'm not sure where you have seen stock gt's truggle to hit 14. that is interesting stuff

Oh...with DA of 0ft, perfect track, John Force behind the wheel, lunar eclipse...everything perfect lets see what these monsters do. Not trying to be an ass, but I laugh at the people who tell me what something is capable of. It's like everyone saying the new Camaro is a 12.8 or 12.9 car stock. C'mon lets talk day to day here not the golden run. The other people I like are the ones who post everyone else's time slips to brag about their car to say what it's capable of.

And you're right those people do need driving lessons, but lets face it. Not everyone is a skilled track driver.

The best times I have seen personaly for 05-09 mustangs that are stock are high 13's in the 1/4 mile. That is nothing to be ashamed of, Did not all the car mags get like 13.7s for the 2010 mustang without the track pack??

One Mustang that gets forgotten is the 03 04 Mach 1. I had a 03 and was impressed with it. I hit 13.26 @106.26 with it bone stock. With a couple mods and drag radials it was easily in the 12's.

Exactly... I've run 13.011 @ 105 mph at a track elevation of 1250' with a DA of ~1800', and I am dyno tuned at 314 rwhp (still N/A).

That is my best time, but certainly not the only time I have run a 13.0X, and I hit 13.1 quite often. Adjusting for altitude and good air alone would put me right in the high 12s with my tiny 4.6L 3 valve.

I still want the timeslip though....

What mods for the 13.0 run? 60' time?
