Well, bad night with my clutch, my clutch couldn't hang if try to launch it any higher than idlle. I have never had a problem with a Centerforce in the 11 second range before. First pass ran a 12.24@106 with a 2.1 60ft, funny thing is that wasn't a full pass, I did 96mph in the 1/8 on that pass. The best pass of the night was 12.474@117.63MPH with no burnout and leaving at idle, that was with a 2.1 60ft, damn turbo lag was killing me, with no two step.

Yeah, but once that turbo spooled up it definately got with the program. Thumbs up to a hella clean car. [worship]

Clutch was a new Centerforce Dual Friction and that was first time making a pass, the 28" tire and 3:25 gears is what killed the clutch, but the turbo loves 3:25s and a 28" tire. Sorry no video.

Thats a clean coupe . I had a 1992 Calypso 5.0L hactch with black interior, at the time I had three other mustang's in the driveway and didnt really care for it because the color . Its one of those colors that seems to grow on you though .

More power than the old white coupe but slower times? When I left at idle on the old white coupe I managed that 11.7 @124. Are you planning on hitting the track again? Any changes your looking to make? Car looks clean

Well, I am putting a new clutch this week, and going to a smaller tire, maybe a MSD two step so I can make boost off the line, I might try to take it to the track this Saturday for my birthday. The old owner told me he got it run 10.60@123 with a stock T-5
