I have never met the OP or the guy that owns the car that ran a 9. Maybe this post will give me a chance too. I thought it would be better to say good job then cut him down seeing that he seems like a knowlageable car guy and could give me some tips at the track.
No one is hating, this is just what happens when you come on a different platform specific forum and post unheard of freak numbers.
Next thing ya know we got Corvette owners calling every race on here bullshit because now all bolt-on Z06s are 9 second cars.
If I go on the Corvette forum and post members running 10.30s in a full weight / bolt-on GT500 we would have just as many haters / doubters or more. It's just how it goes, this is a timeslip section on a FORD forum, not everyone is gonna drink the kool aid.

Tips are, sell your turbo cobra and get a bolt-on Z06. ;-)
Wow glad I never bothered posting up when I ran my junk at the track. Didn't know it was a personal insult to ford owners here.
Impressive times from a bolt on only car.

I was thinking a prius myself.
I'll make sure to get you an invite to our rentals and anyone else you want to bring as long as we have the spots. I've been on this sight a while and enjoy everyone's company and don't mind debating and smack talk.
I starting drag racing not that long ago with some good people who owned 03 cobras. Our cars matched up well and that's what made me a better racer/driver. We all have a comon interest and can learn from each other.
You make some good points but I will say that this particular section of SVT has always been a place for ANY car to post.
On the CF the same thing would happed just like you mentioned but eventually people come around and give some deserved respect.
I have always been treated fairly in general on this site and aprreciate it.
It's funny we recently met D-Rod. I'm always anxious to lend a hand to inexperience manual vette owner s on the drag strip and had the opportunity to give him some tips. His ride is real nice and very fast. It's difficult to put it all together without help but he's doing well. Seems like a good mate. That's what it's all about. Getting a bunch of fast cars together and ringing them out which motivates us to get better.
We put on a rental at MIR this past Friday. Had more than two dozen guys attend. One came as far as Denver while others came from Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. (I may have missed a state or two.) It was a great time. Lots of guys set PBs. My buddy Eric in his ZR1 rowed the gears to an 8.92 pass. There was a beautiful yellow Stang that went very low 10s that highly exceeded his expectations. Steven Auglis did a great job video taping the event. You can check the Stang out in his full video on YouTube.
Here is a vid containing a 9.971 pass besting the 9.973 of 2011. (3rd pass of the day) We ran DOT tires this time since the track was hooking so well. Still no dumping of the clutch or power shifting. Car has 27,000 plus miles on it.

Nice. So a 1.40 60' on that pass? Not bad at all :rockon:
1.4 60ft, nice 
Wow, that's incredible! Great job!
Those are amazing times! Running at Atco this time of year definitely helps! What was the DA?
-10,000....haha

Maybe the 4.10s take off a full second.
Found a pic of the Stang.

Thanks guys. I was happy with the 60' on those tires. There may be a 1.37 in them. The M&H slicks that I usually run go mid 1.3s to low 1.4s most of the time. DA was good but it was much warmer than what you see online.
LOL I wish that were true. That would put me in the 9.1x range. :-D
