Brian,Thanks, Terry. I've told my son-in-law a few times to pattern his Bullitt build after yours. He's been reading some of your posts on the forums and loves your Bullitt (who doesn't!).
I appreciate your comments buddy.
Take care,
Terry

Awesome collection of slips there Brian!
11 and 12 second cars in those conditions????? Color me unimpressed. Nothing exciting.
1.6 60' times need improvement.

What was the DA when you were running? Curious. Comparing apples to oranges when someone running at MIR in -DA to someone running a similar setup at Bandimere in 8500DA. Usually comments from someone running down your PB have other issues.
Either way be proud of your accomplishment regardless. It's YOUR personal best against your personal best. Keep at it.
Nice job- I need to lose 80 pounds as a driver- man u make a lot of runs when you go - you would of went 11.4?'s if you would of gave a lil more cool down time- curious as well what a set of headers and near -da this fall would bring for you.
Personally with good, bad, or whatever DA, running mid 11's with your daily driver is very cool! I'd rather drive to the track in a mid 11 second car, than trailer my mid 10 second car any day of the week. Yes, there's faster, but there always will be. There's probably someone around who has never heard of S197 forums, or the Corral, that can literally mop the friggin floor with the quickest car on whatever list you can find on these forums with less.....
My point here is, good job Brian. I'm glad you're enjoying your very streetable Stang, and putting "Ford" in the other brand's ears at your local tracks.. I wish I had a dollar for every modded stang, I've seen in th 13's and 14's btw.

Amen! Thanks for the support! I'm excited to see how your "new" Mustang comes together and progresses. Gotta love how these Coyote Automatics run at the strip!!!
There are certainly some fast full-bodied cars at our local tracks running in the 10's, 9's, and 8's. But, it's rare for a street legal car to run quicker than 10's, and even 10's aren't very common for a truly street legal & insured car, let alone a daily driver. I've beaten a lot of trailered race cars that aren't even remotely close to street legal. It's an understatement to say that I'm very happy with my daily driver's current performance. It's actually quicker than I ever really thought it would go with the minimal amount of mods I've chosen.
We have a good bunch of racers at our local tracks. Owners of all different brands get along very well without any smack talk. Sure, I love beating any non-Fords, but I can appreciate anything that's fast. I don't even mind when I get beat at the track as I have a deep respect for what it takes to go this quick. I've been fascinated by plenty of unusual cars and love to talk to their owners to hear what they've done to their cars and what results they're getting from those mods. I get a lot of non-Ford owners approach me in the pits wondering how my very stock appearing car manages the ET's it does. Again, lots of tolerance and mutual respect in the pits at our local tracks.
Ford has done a great job with the 5.0L Coyote, and there is a disproportionately large number of them showing up at our local tracks vs Camaro & Challenger, so I'm happy to represent and spread the word! I've even convinced a few brand-X racers to buy new Mustangs in the last couple of years!
