Ooooooh the russian dude. Yeah his car and mine would be great competition for each other. I don't know why we didn't ever get lined up together. He launches harder than I do though but I think with my figured out suspension setup now I can launch "with" him at least. Mustangs always launch harder than camaro's and f-bodys cause you guys have an overall better rear suspension setup with upper and lower control arms versus our torque arm setup. My best 60' was a 1.58 @ sears right before i left.

Yeah it's rare to see a F-Body do a 1.5x, I think Alex has done 1.55 a few times. I think the first gear also has something to do with it. Most mustangs have a 3.35 first or 2.95(aftermarket) whereas the f-bodys have a 2.66. A 4.10 would help you leave better but you would run out of track.

The green ex CHP car has major issues then! It has a 347 with a TFS R intake and some other good stuff hey he's running slower than your "basic" heads/intake/cam GT. I heard it was on the cover of a recent Super Ford magazine and had dyno number, ect. I have a feeling he's running 302 numbers on his 347 because he has a 302 top half on his 347.

Yeah it is in the first gear of the T-5 that lets him do it... Yes a 4.10 would be better for my combo. That's okay cause I plan on running a 4.10 once I get the heads/cam/manifold on my car within a year or so. Can't do crap to the car now while I'm out here though :-( The heads and cam i'm looking into would make the car a strong 6500 RPM motor rather than my 5800-5900 shift points now. So seeing as how I run 3.89's with a 28" tire now a switch to a 4.10 would be perfect with extra room in each gear prior to shifting. I'd probably shift at 6300 and run it out in 4th until the finish line. Probably turn 6400 at the traps.
