Well my car and I took our first trip to the track together today and I must say my expectations were blown away. We had our Mustang club day at Desoto in Bradenton, Fl so it was ALL Mustangs. I happen to race 4 diff Cobra's talk about stiff competiton. The only thing other than what's it my sig was I ran a short belt to bypass my power steering and smog pump. All runs were also without the spare tire and about 1/2 tank of gas.

My last run, even though it wasn't the fastest, was my favorite! I can't believe I was hanging with cars rated at 300+hp. I was very impressed today. Although, I was very uncomfotable at the tree. All launches were between 1000-2000rpm.
