That is sweet! Old school race look in a new school body. Did they bolt/mount right up with no mods?

They just need a rear sway bar relocation kit, and to cut out a little bit of the torque box in the inner fender (rear).

460whp/390tq on a mustang dyno. My best on the old tires was a 12.3@121mph with a 2.2 60'. If I get that down to a 1.5 it should technically be around a 10.9. I'm hoping for low 11s.

I have an intercooled vortech v3 @12psi with lt headers,o/r x, slp loudmouth, gt500 fuel pumps, 60# injectors, HPX blow through maf, shaftmasters drive shaft, 4.10 gears, frpp diff cover, mgw short throw shifter, WOTbox 2 step and no lift shift, spec clutch, che anti-squat brackets, che rad support with front sway removed, bmr rear sway reloc kit, qa1 shocks, jm lcas, slp linelock, and Im sure a lot ive forgotten about.

That's some Phat Meat! Do you get any tire spin at all with that setup? My car will never be a quarter mile monster, but that's a slick ride man.

I haven't launched it yet, but it should hook launching off the 2 step at 5k. Some other people have used these tires at the 500whp level and that's the results they got.

If it doesn't hook I'll have to play with the suspension some. I want it to hook and not bog (1.5 60' would make me very happy).
