From the other thread

His best E.T. was 10.32@138 putting 475rwhp. The video of his run is on the website. They were having a dyno day and with more boost he is putting down 575rwhp (695 corrected,5500ft elev.), no new E.T.'s. as of yet.

The yellow Fox-bod is a 388c.i. with a 200shot and a glide. Best is 9.9@135

Man that one where is just shows to view of the dash of the car looks mean. I love how the driver has to keep giving opisiste lock towards the top end of each gear because it's spinning. Man it's like the thing would just spin sideways under full throttle trying to go straight ahha.

Didn't know how everybody would respond seeing as they were Fords, but i think the majority of people will respect a fast car no matter what it is.

Ok, must be just me. But, I most cars can sorta stay straight better than that, even under heavy acceleration. Look at a Lingenfelter 427TT. I have seen quite a few vids of that and the driver is not all over the place. I mean that guy could not control it at all. Of course the lower weight of the Stang may have helped.

That was an auto, on a prepped track in somewhat warm conditions and mini-tubbed.

This cobra is a manual (using both hands and feet to drive the car vs 2) on the street (no prep) with slicks (read temperature sensitive) with COLD *** weather (40-50's).

I think the yellow fox nails 1.3 60's, did it look like he was hitting that in the vid?
