dunno who told ya all that
but the car actually went 10.17 @ 136.90 MPH, 1.47 60' while using a harlan 2-step and having a 12 bolt on race gas, but hey i can see where it could go either way. ..or have i mis understood and you raced the car yourself to the 10.11?
hope that did not influence your purchase. you still have a nice car with lots of potential with the right parts.
Car looks nice, I like the T/A spoiler on there, something different. Does it have hood pins because the latch assembly has been removed? They sell little locks you can get, I have one lying around.

I am sorry, it was a 10.17. I was just trying to remember off the top of my head. I have the slip in the car. By the way, timeslips and dyno numbers did not influence my decision to buy this car. I bought it because it is 99% perfect inside and out, it has all pwr options and cold a/c, I would trust it to drive anywhere and get 20+mpg, and I have had many very fast cars (deep 10 sec cars) and there is no doubt this car has 9's in it! My twin turbo stang went 10.13 @ 134 and this car would walk it easy! It has an awesome look and sound and no matter what the dyno numbers are, this car makes serious power and tq from 3k until you shift which makes it a monster from a highway roll.

PSJ, the locks are on there for looks and added security so the hood doesn't fly off. Thanks for the compliments, I like the wing also. This car gets more attention and compliments than anything I have ever owned.

Do you have the T/A bumper to match the wing? I only ask b/c I saw a Formy with a T/A wing and a regular V6/Formy bumper and it looked terrible. You should get the bumper to match if you don't have it already.
Sick car btw. Is it going to be your daily? That car looks like my car's older, meaner brother.

I dont know about getting a hell of a deal on it, you have to remember I paid way more than where the auction was when it was ended early, but it is well worth the money. I have had a few guys email me and tell me what they were going to bid on it and I am within reason.
You have what I consider to be a near perfect street car there. I would be very proud to own it, as I'm quite sure you are. Congrats!
