If you wanna go fast you have to go chevy.
That's awesome, a Ford Mustang Z06, should be a factory option lol

now i can finally come out on everything this thing has got without fear of wheelstanding it.... And bring on the full 400hp hit MUCH earlier than before. I had it progressing over 1.5 seconds and it was still going up on the bumper.... I want to have it all in within 1 second or less.... After that i'm going record chasing for the first LT1 8 second nitrous pass babee....

I was looking at it, but at this point what I'd have to do to get the car competitive isn't pratical.

Plus, to be competitive it's gonna take a low 5 second car, if I want a shot at winning that I think it's gonna take a car that can run 5.2x That's more then what this car is capable of by a mile.

If I do all the work myself (as you know the cost savings there) I can build a roller with a fuel system and the computer/ignition for about what I can sell this car for, which leaves me to buy a tranny and a powerplant/power adder. What it will cost me to build a powerplant and a tranny is less then what it will cost me to get this car to 5.2x speed, so it seems like a smarter way to go about it.

The car is nice and runs great don't get me wrong, but with all the new stuff that's out there, and what I learned on this car I can put another one togther that will be a good bit lighter and run alot better then I can do with this car without redoing 1/2 the car.

I have some thoughts as to what to do with the next car, your input woudl actually be appreciated but that's a conversation to be had via PM.
