Title: Mustang seems awfully slow
Post by: Xtremitie on July 03, 2008, 12:38:50 PM
So I brought my mustang to the track last night, I'm not happy with the results.

10.45 on the 1/8

I don't think anything went wrong, I felt I had a good RT and the car hooked better than usual but it should be in the 9s, granted its a vert and a little heavier but I guess only another pass will tell. They don't give ya slips so... Anyhow, the mustang is grounded for now, shes locked up in her room =P Her little brother the ninja is only one allowed to come out and play at the moment due to her poor performance at the track.

Problem #2: AOD
Problem #3: 2.73
Problem #4: Heavy Vert

Combine them all and they add up to S L O W. Stock vert fox stangs were always slow. It's normal.

With some 3.55 gears and some good tires should do allright do you powershift it or not?

Not so... All he needs a better torque converter...

That, some gears(and don't screw around, go 3.73s), sticky tires and good tune up should knock over a second off the ET...
