A bit of trivia for you all. The 99 S351 had the distinction of being the worlds fastest production car. This was based on trap speed at the end of the 1/4 mile. The 99 S351 was advertised with a 122 mph trap speed. That was damn fast in 99 and still is today. I have a Dec 99 issue of MM&FF and in stock trim they ran 12.6 @ 119. They put 26x10 slicks on and dropped that to 11.5 @ 122.5. This was done with 92 octane gas and 8psi from the blower. It has a stiff suspension on it that isnt suited so much for a drag strip but makes the power to run pretty fast anyway. Saleen wanted to outdo the Viper back then and make his "most powerful production car sold in america" claim and this was the car to do it.

I don't know how much of the above is true but it sure is impressive.

That Big Dan is one bad ass Mustang.

I was talking about a 95, S351. I was under the impression that was the only year a 351 was produced. I don't like the 99-04 style. =/

Boss does 0-60 in 4.0 seconds flat.

Their advertised horsepower is 430 and 500 with the 4.0L Whipple supercharger.

When they originally went on sale back in 08 their msrp was $69k then $74k in 09, $89k for 2010 and $91k for the 2012. Then you can option it out if you want and choose between Liberty trans, trans braked autos, larger superchargers, etc.

Yes those are the tires the come with stock. I think the rears are 30" tall with a curb weight of 3,200lbs but its not street just legal like majority of the cars you see at the track now days. Its a good option for guys that already have a 8 second race car that they could sell and then buy a Cobra Jet especially since the 08's were so cheap.

It has the title of being the fastest accelerating production car since it is a production car that has been in production for the past 5 years. Not all production cars are legal for street use in the USA and this is one of them.

It's possible but I suspect the dude had that car tuned to take advantage of the fuel.

Road and track got 117 out of their Boss so the times are very believable.

i find the 70's 80' 90's camaro's ugly, their firebird counterparts were better looking.
the late 70's and 80's mustangs were dam ugly, the sn95 were good looking only in cobra trim. i find the 1995 cobra R to be the best sn95 mustang.

Christ on a cracker, all that horse power and it still won't be much faster then a base GT500. I think Ford should start looking at making an AWD version.

call it the king kong....godzilla (GT-R) killer!

You guys are funny, you act like a set of drag radial's would somehow break the new owners bank. They have all sorts of tire options from mild to wild that can plant the power on its 20x10 forged Alcoa's. The problem isn't the car or having 800hp its the crappy Goodyears.

The first mod I bought for my GT500 was a set of rear drag radials and to be honest sticky drag radials would be my first mod if I owned a Cobalt SS, Camaro SS, or even a GT. Even a 200hp car could greatly benefit from drag radials and easily pick up a half a second at the track. I don't understand why everybody gets so hung up on the fact that a 500-800hp factory Ford Mustang cant hook up on its factory tires with the traction control off in the lower gears.

Big Dan, got anymore vids of your drives in your Shelby?

[bmwdon]

I guess you don't drive it much in the rain on dr's then. I like the idea of a all around kick ass car more so than a fair weather only. Otherwise, I'd go to dr's myself. driving in the rain in my car is already dicey with 315/35's nitto invo's trying to keep traction with 700rwhp....hell, they aren't that great in the dry, but I might try to move to the nt05's when the invo's are bald. I think the nt05r's are going to be too damn soft for a daily.
