Congrats Mike on breaking into the 12's on the stock motor.

With your future mods you have planned I wouldn't doubt that you drop another 3 tenths.

BTW, post up the specs from the time slip. (ie 60",330, etc)

Word up.

yea congrats mike...awesome times with the GT ...i'm impressed

[MIKE88]

thanks guys. my times were as follows, 60ft 1.73, 330ft 5.22, 1/8 8.17@82.78, 990ft 10.66, 1/4mile 12.90@ 103.8.
those #'s should be alot better next season when i get a fresh new clutch in it. steve at mustang magic said that i was burning thru the clutch because i was screaming thru the traps at 6000rpm. he said with my 4.10's and my 26" tires it should have been more like 5200rpm which is just right on a stock 5.0. my rear main leaked and got my clutch alittle oily. so anyway in the spring i will be rockin a new clutch, some longtubes, and some weld wheels. i'm still racing on the stock turbines. i'm shootin for 12.60's at 105-106. i'll find out in the spring. can't wait, i hate winter.

awesome factory freak mike.....like i said b4, impressive

Impressive Mike. Congrats on hitting the 12s stock n/a.

[MIKE88]

thanks bro. its something i have been wanting to do for a while now. i finally nailed it. i'm going to try and lighten her up alittle more with some weld wheels and some other tricks. i ain't touchin the motor though. i gonna run it until it blows.

Congrats Mike. I predicted you would do it and you did. You'll be right on my tail come the spring.

Good for you man.

[terrorteal331]

def well deserved... mike has a real clean , nice looking GT .... and to add a 12 second pass with pretty much a factory stock motor is great example... well done buddy

[shiz302]

What was the path like to get there? Alot of low 13 sec passes or what. How crucial is a good launch?

[BlueVenom281]

What exactly is done to it?

+ 1....:eusa_clap And air under the tire...sweet...

[MIKE88]

thanks matt and bobby. shiz302, launch is just about everything. the first 60ft makes or breaks the run. as you can see most people that go 103mph only run mid to high 13's so you gotta launch like a bat out of hell. whiteheat306 the car is setup like this-
electric fan, u/d pullies, mac shorties-mac prochamber-mac mufflers, 14" k&n cone filter, flaming river manual rack, pro5.0 shifter, aluminum driveshaft, moser 31 spline axles, 4.10 gears, megabite jr lower's, subframes, mickey drag radials 235/65/15 on stock turbines, no a/c, no backseat, battery in the back, adj fuel reg, 90/10 lakewoods, harwood race bucket seats. uh, i think thats it. well anyway the motor is untouched. stock everything.
