Mustang seems awfully slow

So I brought my mustang to the track last night, I'm not happy with the results.

10.45 on the 1/8

I don't think anything went wrong, I felt I had a good RT and the car hooked better than usual but it should be in the 9s, granted its a vert and a little heavier but I guess only another pass will tell. They don't give ya slips so... Anyhow, the mustang is grounded for now, shes locked up in her room =P Her little brother the ninja is only one allowed to come out and play at the moment due to her poor performance at the track.

Problem #2: AOD
Problem #3: 2.73
Problem #4: Heavy Vert

Combine them all and they add up to S L O W. Stock vert fox stangs were always slow. It's normal.

Not so... All he needs a better torque converter...

That, some gears(and don't screw around, go 3.73s), sticky tires and good tune up should knock over a second off the ET...
