Yup, no drag radials for me. It was pretty much a 2.1 60' (2.08) and I would guess I could get that down to a 1.7 on nitto's. That would give me pretty close to a 12.2, tires are worth more than a couple 10th's on a manual car.

the degree of track prep is worth more than the difference between radials and street tires.

the MPH difference better shows the potential. Plus this post is just what an average joe on an average day with average mods runs. 5.0's have already hit 11's with these mods, even the automatics.

This car has slicks, skinnies, and a tune.
A few details...though not many: http://forums.themustangsource.com/f...e-only-485644/ I watched the video close, and it looks like there is no passenger seat, so I think its safe to say that some amount of weight reduction has been done too. The SS and Mustang have very similar power-to-weight ratios, and seem to respond about the same to basic bolt-on mods. IMO, the Mustang's small drag racing advantage comes from better gearing and the SLA. |

Yep, trap speeds tell the story. The GT is marginally the better performer..... no need for either side to resort to hero runs or fish stories to attempt to prove otherwise.
