Closed chamber heads Solid lifters Ahh, I had a '69 Mach 1 (first car) 351 'M' code (aka Hi-Po Windsor or 351 CJ), factory solids, 11:1 compression, shaved heads (jacked it up to 12:1) ported polished heads, etc. That car kicked a** I tell you.

rpretzel Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 12.59 @ 117 mph. But I had many things working against me... 1. 6,000 feet elevation 2. Stock rubber 3.

Jimmy Sugan Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I race, but sorry I don't race a Shelby or a Mustang. I race a 92 Camaro , thats is sponsored by HOOTERS . I run in the N.H.R.A. division 1 Top Sportsman class. The car runs 7.40s @187. I have been brought up around Fords, the reason I purchased this car is because I was comfortable when I sat in it. My father raced a 1968 G.T.500 K.R. back in the late 60s-early 70s, and that car is still in his possesion, and unrestored with 22000 race miles on it. My next purchase is going to be a 2008 Shelby GT.(sorry can't afford the K.R.) Looking to purchase the car in Feb. have some bills to pay off first. Glad I found this site learning more, and more everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving With new rubber and someone who can actually drive, I should be able to knock at least 1 second off that time. I feel your pain... I've been racing 4 times, check that, 5 times in my life. The first: 1978 Toyota Corolla SR-5, about 20 sec @ 60 mph - LOL what a hoot! The last 4 times: Friday night. First run at 15.5 sec @ 107 mph - total wheel spin in first and second gears; Last run; 12.9 @ 113mph; start slower, finish faster. I suck! This is the 725HP KB on the 40th Anniversary car.

1badshelby Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I started racing my 95 at the local 1/8th mile track near Lousville AL, Raced a few 03 Cobras with it in the !/4 at Montgomery strip, ran a 13 flat at 109. I fell in love with racing and built an 84 Notchback just for it! I set it up for the 1/8th. It's powered by a 351c poked and stroked to 411 cid with solid roller cam. I've run a 6.12 in the eighth with a 100 shot of nitrous. And ran it though the quarter at Reynolds GA @10.5 at 127 mph, but ran out of gear and was on the rev limiter 50 ft before the stripe. Not sure if I will take the GT500 to the track or not, at least not until some of the new wears off of it!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I'm not a racer, but those seem like pretty good numbers. faster than I went, for sure, with an 8.5 @ 87 mph my fastest 1/8th. And now I'm seeing little bits of rubber falling off my rear mud guards. Hmmm, wonder what that's from? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's son took video (poor) with his cell phone, and it was funny that you couldn't hear the exhaust over the KB whine LOL! We have traded posts here before, but we haven't met in person yet. Would love to get together and chat Mustangs. I was going to go down to Race City that Friday, but I am waiting on a new blower belt. Mine is coming apart. I want to get my car dyno'd and get a 1/4 mile time before I do the Super Snake on my car next year. But the summer is almost gone. Do you know how many more Fridays they will run this fall? How's the Kenne Bell on the streets of Calgary? Cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
