1.88!!! You can prob bring that done a little!

My best 60 was a 2.1 and I ran a 13.01... But my MPH was a little crazy!

110.00 So it should have a mid 12 sec pass in it... I just have to get it off the line

Very well done. I'd like to go up against a GT500 - He'd probably be very, very chastised.

What kind of tires are you using? DR's ? How was the driver of the mustang? I really feel something is strange here. By all rights that car should have put a beating on you. Was that a legit 500?

The driver of the 500 made comment that the car was brand new with 800 miles on it,it was the real deal.Maybe I was lucky,but this is the second Gt500 I've won against.
