Less rotating mass... which is easier to spin, a truck tire, or a bike tire?

You are right the car is losing time, we had issues with hitting the bump stops at the Holley fest, dosen't do that now. Needs more rebound, which Pedders is working on for us, but I'll take a 1.3 60 ft while still developing suspension. Car leaves the line at 2.25g's, unloads to 1.5 then sets down to just over 2.0 g's.

Very impressive to say the least.

Lingenfelter's Camaro has a pretty significant trap speed advantage. Atco is also a real good track (probably better track prep and DA).

I love to see that Mustang and the Lingenfelter Camaro race heads up (same track, same day). That would be bad axx to watch.

the mustang is an auto, if the camaro was an auto it would be faster. 9 seconds with a manual is impressive

You do realize in boosted applications meth does the same thing right? They both cool intake charge temps. Of course you didn't.

They should change the lyrics to "trollin' for the 5.0".

Screw the mustang, I'll bust it's ass wide open. 1 power adder, nothing more other then several hundred pounds of more weight. Still the stock IRS set up with 3.45 gears and a lifetime subscription to XM radio to jam to on my way to and from the track.


Come get some Ford Boys!
