First day at the track today April 10, 2006, 01:19:35 AM Took the '88 Stang and I finally have my first 13 second timeslip. Only got to do it once though as I don't have a helmet yet.:D Ran 13.969 @ 103.50MPH on 17" bullit rims with street rubber. Not bad for a stock 5.0L with a bottom end about to grenade. (REALLY bad bearrings) I redline shifted every gear 1-3, and was on the rev limiter in 4th at the mph stripe,to get that 13sec. slip:hick: :fart: I went to the track with the intent of getting a 13 or breaking the motor triing. guess I can rebuild the motor now and go for a 12.99:rollin: Quote Selected
