New member... 11.57 @ 116mph

[mikeysgt]

hey guys, i'm on a few other forums but came across this one today and figured i'd stop by. I have an 06 GT running nitrous. Car dynoed at 420rwhp/523rwtq a couple weeks ago. Just got some American Racing O/R X Longtubes put in along with a retune a couple weeks ago. Finally made it back to the track here in Bakersfield (Famoso Raceway) this past weekend and ran a best of 11.57 @ 116mph with a 1.566 60'.

performance mods include
JLT CAI
4.10's
Spyder Driveshaft
ARH longtubes with o/r x
pro-kit springs
Dynotune Nitrous 100hp shot
BMR upper/lower control arms

track shoes are stock 17's with 275/50/17 M/H Drag Radials


here is an old video i made from all of last year and my previous best time...

Nice number..And nice color combo..How did you launch with the stock converter?..Did you foot break or leave at idle? I have an auto with 4:10's too, and I will have DR's for spring, just not sure on the $$ situ for the stall..

 

[mikeysgt]

foot brake up to about 2k rpms then hold til the third yellow then go baby go...

Really sharp car! How much boost you running?

 

[mikeysgt]

100hp shot of nitrous

 

[mikeysgt]

and thanks btw.

just noticed that first pic i posted was somebody's photoshop of smoked corners on my front bumper haha need to edit that one out.

 

[alloy6ix]

DAMN!!! your car looks gorgeous!!!! may I make a suggestion...

don't ever take pics at night. All we have the chance of seeing are the bad ass lights coming from the hood. lol. and that's a really good time with only a 100 shot and stock stall!! driver mod FTW!!!

 

[mikeysgt]

thanks. i needed to take those pics for something i was working on and that day turned out to be a rainy day... i'll try and get some nicer shots within a few weeks with a brighter background haha

 

[Steedman07]

What size tires you got out back?

 

[mikeysgt]

295/45/18 nitto 555's. rims are 99-04 black saleen replicas.

You car is very nice!

Awesome times to!!

 

[chad05gt]

Sharp car...

I must admit, at first

hsnap: I hope thats not a n/a car!!!

 

[Vapour Trails]

Nice times, I'd be very happy if I ran that time with a measely 100 shot.

 

[Ken3030]

That car looks awesome and nice numbers also.

 

[mikeysgt]

thanks guys. hopefully after a new set of tires and a torque converter swap i'll be kissing 10's!

 

[screamingstang]

so did you sell your m/h..or are they still for sale?

 

[silverpoison]

I love you car man, It looks Great!!!!!!!!!!

What wheels are those ones??

You did the lights on the hood?

 

[LAK3RS]

Dude, there is no gap at all between your tires and fenders! It looks sick! Does it not rub at all?

 

[mikeysgt]

thanks again guys... i have some rubbing only when i have all four of my rims and tires for the track in the car. i don't have rear seats so it's only me and my girl riding in the car but i think if i had passengers in the rear i would rub. those rims are the 99-04 saleen replicas but they now make the correct offset for 05+ mustangs. i just like the aggressive offset of these better for my car. anyone interested in the 05+ offset rims i can get you guys a killer deal. just pm me if interested...

and yes my m/h tires are still for sale. i have a couple of guys interested locally but not sold yet. i'm debating whether or not sell the whole rim/tire setup and get some 15" wheels and tires for the track! can't decide.... think i might save that cash towards a torque converter instead though...

and yes i did the lights in my hood myself
