Finally a 10 sec pass...

Been skirting and flirting with 10.9x all summer and finally broke through the barrier tonight. And did so as I wanted. The goal was 10's with the car only needing to swap DR's to street tires and roll to granny's house 4 hours away getting 25MPG. So tonight amidst lightning in the sky, a sudden cool off into the upper 70's and a short rain delay, I made my way to the line with 5/8 tank of 93 octane (no additives), the spare in the trunk, passenger seat in the car, and front sway bar in place and went 10.916 @ 127.5 MPH on a 1.62 60ft. Happy as punch at the moment. slow pass of the night was 11.18, and 11.01.

That's freakin' awesome! Congrats!

Congratulations CR, well done!

Thanks

Good for you, man!!

Congrats on the 10s

thank ya!

It always feels good to reach a goal, congrats!

^^^ Thank you. I see you are beating against that 9.99 barrier. Best of luck to you getting it there. Photo looks nice coming off the line. that's what I call weight transfer.

Congrats !

Thank you!

Congratulations

thanks

Your signature just mentions "a few bolt ons." Any chance you'd share that list of bolt ons and what weight reduction you've done? Or, point me to a thread where you have this info listed? I'd love to apply some of what you've learned to my '14 GT.

^^^ Yeah a TVS blower is a "bolt on" - Brian- technically

^^^ I forgot to mention the window tint. That's a stick on. Sorry for omitting that. i'll fix my sig page for ya.

There that makes it current for ya.

I was pretty sure that your trap speed indicated more than natural aspiration could provide, but lightweighting can work magic, too, so I had to ask.

My goal for my '14 GT/6R80 has long been to stop modding at 11.50's so I wouldn't have to mess with a rollbar, and I got to my goal. But, now that I've bought a new daily driver, I can turn up the wick on the Mustang a bit. New goal: run high 10's naturally aspirated. I've done boost a few times in the past with prior cars, but I love the challenge of going fast without forced induction.

Congrats again on the 10's! That's a fast car!

Totally jelly of the 10's. Congrats
