My 60 ft was a 1.7, I still need some practice.

Yes sir, you do

It's not IRS (shouldn't be at least)

I think he means the two piece driveshaft. I've seen one literally twisted like a candy cane at work. What's funny is that it was right when the GT500's came out, and Ford warrantied it.

Hello Brian. Rustin told me about your times. Good job. It was funny a couple of nights ago him talking about buying a procharger because the next thing he said was how bad he wanted to beat you.

My bad, I thought GT500's were IRS....they're not?? I like 'em even more if they're solid! Just goes to show you how old the crap I usually work on is! LOL!

Yup. Solid rear.

Whats up Josh? Yeah Rustin told me about the supercharger for his Vette that he wants. I think he'll need more than that to keep up with me, like some tires. I'm supposed to come get it Wed so I can do the alignment on it. I think I'm going to invest in the one piece driveshaft.

Our '55 Chevy 4 door drag car ran some 7.36, .38, and .39's, and on a 26x8.5" M/T ET Drag coming off the foot brake at 3500 it cut a 1.57 and went 92 mph. Get that 60 foot time down some more and you should be able to pick fewer least a few tenths. You've definitely got the mph.

What does your car weigh ? Any idea what kind of power it makes ?

Not sure what it weighs, should be whatever a regular 08 Shelby is. It dynoed 552rwhp and 540trq. I wanna go to a 1/4 mile track, wonder what I'd run.

I would bet very low 11's. It could be knocking on high 10's with some better 60 ft times.

We'd be a pretty close race as well... my best is a 7.01@103 and a 1.64 60'. Went 10.80's @ 128 in the 1/4.
