ANY car will go ka-boom with a mediocre tune from a "tuner" aka tommy-toggle who thinks they know what they're doing.
The Bay Area has plenty of them.

I test drove one of these about 6 months ago just for shits and giggles.
They have the right amount of power for a stock 'Stang (about fuckin' time!) and the handling seemed reasonalbe (although a bit to compliant). I really liked it!
This car would be kick ass if it was about an 1 1/2" lower and had about 100 more HP.
Congrats ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Edit: Ofcourse I'm assuming the 14's is a joke because even if you took the 06 I'd guess it's faster than that ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

yeah it went 14's
yeah 11.8, not bad for bogging hard off the line, shortshifting 2nd, spinning 2nd, then missing 4th and coasting to the finish line at 113

14's doesn't make sense. I run a guy at my work in his GTO. I let him go first every time and by the end of 1st I'm neck n neck and pull every gear. He's a mid 13. I have 14 more RWHP at most than John so that shouldn't make "that" much of a difference?
Then again don't these cars have a lot of torque reduction at each shift? I believe that's one thing taken out of mine.
Oh well, I'm "planning" on 12's first time out at the track

Gears will be going in this coming Saturday so possibly the following Wednesday, worst case, two weeks from this coming Wednesday. Getting some 17x10 welds in back and 17x(4 or 5's) in front with the MT drag radials.
I'd like to be in the 12's with a cold air, 410's, drag radials and a tune.
I'll be banging the hell out of the gears
What do you think John?

12's are definitely do-able, especially with the right driver.
And yes, it's a Auto. I knew if I bought a 5spd, I'd mod the hell outta it. This was my deterrent.
With that, the "auto" clause is my excuse...alot shorter than Eric's dissertation as to why his car doesn't perform/he can't drive/the stars weren't in alignment/I wish I was JohnB's Cobra. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

John, John, John...
It is a 5 speed auto! I have driven one and the the first three gears work very well, w/ th jump to 4th being the looong step. You just need to get some converter and gears. 4.30's. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Nice Car and in black too! Looks good! You will be very happy with the way that thing drives. I just picked up a Black 07 Mustang, so I didn't get the 0% .

Congrats on the New stang. Its good to see more people coming on here with thiers.. I thought I was the only one so I didnt visit much. Many people here still dont know much about them. They CAN be supercharged and run for a long time. I was one of the first to get a procharger in my 05 and was running a good 10 psi with 393rwhp on the mustang dyno. It was great for 7 months till I tried a meth/water injection with a 12# pully. Due to some bad tuning and ignorning warning signs of hydro-locking the engine she blew at 4K. I have gone to other 05/06 web sites with KB/prochargers/ saleens running 450rwhp-500+. I and few others have blown over dumb things like meth injection/ melted cats and jacked up tunes. So far the safety limit (with good tune) seems to be 450-460wrhp. Matter of fact the whipple is now being shipped out and is going to give stock 05-07 475rwhp or more. As for the autos being a week point many are running at those levels without an issue. The rods and pistons do suck but I only have really seen them give out at 14 psi or higher. If you plan no SC I would got the the JLT CIA and tune and some 4.10's... and lower the thing ;-)..
enjoy,
--Ted
