Man that was some gross sounding exhaust note and wheel hop. Race looks about right. Both high 12 second cars in stock trim on stock tires.

I only got to race one while I still had my 14' 5.0. He was tune with some exhaust and I was tune and mufflers, had 2 or so lengths on him in the end by 120, its amazing the difference a tune makes on a stock 5.0.

I do like the SS sedans though they are sleepers for sure.

Man, that SS is sweet. I like the color and the body style. Plus, it gets moving up top. Very nice ride.

Close race, SS runs good!
Mustang must have a muffler delete, way too loud for stock!! Its not like it gives any hp though.

A roll for one of my buddies with an SS on my old setup was pretty ugly for him.

That being said, the SS definitely scoots out a bit better than the old g8 gt or GXP

good runs! When the 5.0 shifts to 5th it was I'm guessing. Just falls on its face.

HPE600 package is good for high 11's at 117.

Stock they are a high 12-low 13 car at 109-111 usually

I love the ss sedans. Next year for the final run some will be offered with the supercharged ls9. Just imagine this with a manual behind it!

Races were very good btw. Stock for stock my money is with the ss. The dig was nasty, still were some good runs.

They are going to use the LSA not LS9.

Hmph. Still cool either way. Love it when dumb guys say the 1.9 blower isn't big enough on the LSA. Let's just ignore the fact that the quickest and fastest PD v2 is running a ported stock 1.9

I was told the ls9 not the lsa. As a matter of fact they were wanting to use the lt4 but it would not fit so they are going with the ls9. I could be wrong but it blew my mind when I heard ls9 not lsa, my info is from someone who works in Detroit for gm (although it's made in Australia) .

Nice race, mustang wheel hop was ugly. And it sounded like it had no exhaust mod lol
SS was cool, never seen one that color.
