Outclassed is opinion which I disagree with, however I agree my 1/4 mi. trap speed wouldn't be as high as an 03 Mustang in my current configuration. Same as my car vs. new LS1 F-bodys.

However my advantage in the 1/4 mile is my car's unique ability to get it's *** off the line in a hurry, thus resulting in low ET's and beating my competitor to the finish line, regardless of trap speed. I recently went thru my timeslips from the day of my 12 second pass and was surprised to see the amount of sub 2 second 60' times. A Mustang driver has to be VERY savvy at the green light to get rollin' without blowing the tires out. Fail to cut a great launch and I'm gone, game's over. For me it's real easy. Brake boost to 2200 RPM (my V6's 400ft/lb torque point), green light=GO....adios.
