Has anybody gone faster than 9.75 147.25 mph in 2007 or 2008 with a 6 speed stock motor except for KB and 50 shot . We are campaining a new cobra jet and possibly will be selling the gt500. It would be nice to know for selling purposes if this car is one of the fastest if not the fastest gt500 in 1/4 mile events.

Nice nums!!! Is that with full exhaust? What was your 60'? Why only a 50-shot? :headscratch:

I will have the video link posted this week with all the info. We have found for some reason a 50 shot seems to be the sweet spot transfering the weight at launch.

Wow!!! That's a nice run. I wish the music wasn't in the video so I could hear the car. I like to hear the engine and the shifts. I guess I'm getting old......
