Mojave Mile results. I ran a top speed of... 145.0 then
145.3
and finally a 143.9 having trouble finding 5th (took me a couple seconds).
The DA was 3000 feet at an actual 2700 feet (cloudy cool damp with a sprinkle a couple times). My initial goal was to do between 130-140 and shoot for 140, thus upgrading me from the 150 class to the 165 class. I exceeded my goal.
Big Red Camaro's best was 196.6 and finally a 200.7mph when I took off for home. The ZR1 corvette was running a 165.6. Many corvette ran 150's and a couple ran 170's. Many of the Ford GT's ran 160's and a couple ran in the mid 180's. A stock Dodge magnum SRT8 ran a 152.8
I have my pass on in-car cam video but very lazy to you-tube it. Good pics to come later I'm beat none3 . Need 400+ hp to break the 150's. Besides Big Red, I was THE ONLY f-body there. Seemed like a Corvette vs Ford GT top speed shootout ... GT's won with a 186 mph to speed pass.
The tech's werre trying to talk me into doing the Bonneville 100. 50+ miles all out (just need a roll bar or something to qualify for 140 class for that) then you go back none3 ... so much fun if I had the funds
All in all It was a total blasst. They are planning to do it again 1st weekend in October.

Ford never made a 2002 cobra, the black gt had some problems and only hit 138. I took my competition orange cobra and did a 163.3 with 315's on all corners. 480rwhp at the last dyno session.

the fastest of my 3 runs was 182.3 mph on stock tires. i have a 2.87" pulley + 100 octane and catback exhaust. my weather station was reporting a corrected DA of 4000' above sea level and a 10 mph crosswind on my run. i look forward to going back someday with a 4.0 whipple and some borla headers, etc. i think with the whipple and some nitrous i can go 200+ mph at the mojave mile.

Might do this in October as well. No power gain but I want to redo my entire suspension...starting with shock( Koini DA's , LCA's, Panhard bar, endlinks, etc.) to test out this new suspension
