I took my DD 6 speed manual '11 3.7 Mustang to the track rental at MIR on 9/24/12. I was able to make the first 12 second pass by a NA '11+ 3.7 V6. My best pass was a 12.91 @ 106.49 MPH. This time eclipsed the old record of 13.02 set with an automatic trans '11 3.7 Mustang.

Here is a nice video my son put together of my runs:

wow, impressive! congrats

Thanks :beer:

That's movin man! Congrats

Thanks :beer:

that is crazy

Thanks Mike :beer:

man thats moving...any ET gain from powershifting?

Whats left as far as N/A mods to make it quicker?

Thanks :beer:

There really isn't any more NA mods to do that would help the car. They make a throttle body for the car, but the stock one is fine until you go FI. I guess you could have the heads ported and few tricks like that. I think some more suspension mods would help trim some time off of the car.

I was power shifting on the 12.91 pass. This was my first time out with the Spec Stage 1 clutch and it releases, engages and has a different feel than the stock clutch. I think with some more practice there is some improvements to be made there.

I was going to poke fun, but really this is damn impressive

Thanks :beer:

That's very cool, bro. Congrats.

Thanks :beer:

That is impressive. That is exactly my best time to date with my 2013 5.0 lol. I suck at driving :(

Thanks :beer:

Keep practicing you will get better!!

Damn!!!...Did I see the front wheels come off the ground on that last run?
Very impressive!:beer:

Thanks:beer:

Yes, my son said when he was videoing he saw the wheels come off the ground on two of the passes. I'm hoping somebody at the track might have got a shot with them off the ground.

Nice man! I think your only N/A mods left would be the Accel coil overs. Also some suspension mods would shave down that time

Thanks :beer:

At my power level the stock coils are more thsn enough. The suspension mods would definitely help!!

Very Awesome. Congrats!

Thanks :beer:

Impressed!!

Thanks`:beer:

Nice, I bet you could go 12.5 with that MPH. No lift shift that sum bitch!!

Thanks :beer:

There is some more ET left in the car!

Nice 60's too! Congrats!
