Alright quik, I did as you asked and watched your video. Nice run by the way. but no chance in hell that thing is stock, or even just lightly modded. The video showed you hitting a 2.2 60', there is no way you can bring it all back for a mid 13 on powershifting alone after a mediocre launch.
Now, I can take this either one of two ways. Either you are BSing us, or there is something you dont know. Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you arent lying to us. You seem like a pretty nice guy and all
. I would bed a previous owener did a little light engine work. After all, you cant see a port and polish, but it will sure as hell open those 5.0s up (especially the carbed ones). Or maybe ur track is off. ever run a mid 13 at another track? You seem to be seeing quite a bit of amazing numbers at your track. Even the LS1 guys will tell you at stock they cant hit 12s, and they are cocky as ****! Or maybe its one of those 3/16 tracks 
.

RE: who will win 5.0 or srt4
At the Budwieser track in Edmonton, Ab I ran a 13.42 best with a stock 01 Stang Gt with catback,cai, and DR's, beat a 01 Cobra and a 00 CAmaro LT1 6 Sp...... ( ****ty Driver)
But I cant back that up with a slip that was back in 2001 and for some reason I dont keep my time slips tucked away for 5 years!
Dude its all about the variables, take it for what it is!

Fact of the matter is all tracks are different, and there are a **** loads of tracks out there, of course times are going to be different! But he holds the time slip from that track showing that time...... RIGHT.....Therefore instead of everyone fighting about it run your car at that track so you can pick up some time and have slips to prove it instead of doubting or saying that track is the wrong length, every one assumes, short of going over there and measuring the damn track what can we do? He has laid all the proof! I dont boubt anyones knowledge or abilities, but my job is to see the facts...... and tell me now what do the facts point to?

RE: who will win 5.0 or srt4
Ok, we seem to be getting a little off of the "off-topic" topic.... yeah, i think that all makes sense..... anyway. IMO, tracking a car isnt about where you can get the best time. The reason we have tracks is so we have a standard measuring system for any cars. If you do unusually well at one track, dont assume other people should be able to as well, because they might be at a slightly more legit track (and yes, i deem "legit" to be the proper word here). Moral of the story: after goldilocks ran the 13.4 while fleeing the three bears in her shiny red mustang, she decided that maybe certain circumstances outside of her control (including skill) were at play, and wont dog anyone for not doing the same.
And they all lived happily ever after. The End

well we wont be racing for awhile prob like may. also his car is stock and he didnt do anything to it because I do all the work on his cars. and we will race because we are arguing non stop who is going to win. but winter sucks and i have to wait.
