im just asking because i have NO idea what a 460 can do.
yea it has a 8point cage
i know its not a street car, his intention was a boosted 7 second car but went a different direction, he's also trying to sell his 10 second fully restored fairlane and 12 second fully restored falcon. he never finished the mustang and it never hit the track so thats why im askin. he's now wanting a drag wagon.

hahaha, trust me i've asked but he wont unless i've bought it. she has no glass in her right now. it sounds sick as hell though like its about ready rumble out of it shell.
question though, does the higher the compression make the exhaust sound way different? his 5.0 11:1 falcon sound kinda snappy....like the exhaust sound like it has more umff to it than my 5.0. i ask because he doesn't know what the compression is but when that mustang rolls over it sounds like a stock car exhaust **wha-pop pa pop pa pop pop pop**
