Awesome Immaculate car..one of my all time favorites for sure. [worship] [worship]

Thanks for the link, Drew. Pretty sure I would have busted into the 8's on the next pass but decided to save that for another day. The two previous passes were 9.16 and a 9.15. Car is running really strong and A/F is still in the low 10's.

Thanks 88 for the compliment [Smile]

I don't think Kenny will care and he is on this site to so I'm sure it would have gotten posted anyway. I also have a video of that pass. Congrats again John and man that is a great looking car. [worship]

awesome fast pass... your supercharged two speed coupe sounds real nice. [burnout] [burnout]

Thanks guys. The color is called Titanium Frost (silver) and it has a C-4 3 speed not 2. If you listen carefully you can hear the 1-2 shift just past the start line barrier.

I thought I was hearing that first shift there early in the run, but figured if it was a three speed you would speak up. Who built the C4 that your running?

Johns car is a long time favorite of mine. I ended up with his last 306, even got the tea heads eventually.

I think this thing has been together longer than anyone else 9 second mustang on here??

It's a Dynamic Mighty Mite M2 with a TCT 9" converter.

Great car, always been a favorite of mine since seeing it in MMFF. I'm a big fan of the simple, clean approach, and this car does it right!

Congrats John, now get that 8.xx pass!

Thanks Phil. I was always a fan of the sleeper look myself.

Nice clean coupe bro, same route I'm going with my mostly stock '91 coupe.
 
Posted by RODRIGUEZ (Member # 9104) on :
 
IF you don't mind me asking, about how much have you dumped into your coupe as in $$$$$$.

I ask because I am going in a similar approach, thanks.
 
Posted by John91coupe (Member # 18) on :
 
It's hard to say how much money I have in it because it has been in a constant state of modification since 1991. This engine is the fourth and I've had several different transmissions. I would't be surprised if I've put 80-100k in it since I bought it new. To get everything in it's current state I would estimate around 40K, not including all of my labor time.

Trust me, you do not want to add it all up. It will haunt you forever.

I did, and now that I know how much I've spent on my 3 stangs, I could have almost bought a damn house. Or a lambo.

I know what you're saying. Up until last year I had every receipt for every part I bought since 1991. The stack looked like the health care bill. Finally dumped them all when I realized I never wanted to add them up (probably take a week). I'm probably low balling the numbers to Rodriguez out of self preservation [Big Grin]

We got a lot done today. My dad tried calling you yesterday or something and no one picked up so we figured you were out. Come over if you're free, we'll be working on it everyday except probably friday cause i got some errands to run.
