First trip to New England Dragway before it closed for the season. I have the FRPP blower 605hp super snake package, no mods besides tires. Installed a set of 285-40-18 Nitto NT555rii's before the trip.

I have tons of room for improvement, best of the night was 12.1 @ 119.6 with a 1.9 60'. The trap speed clearly shows I should get into the 11's with some practice. Plenty of fun with this car!

Here's a video of one passes, I think this was a 12.3. Track was pretty slick near the end of the night.

Lots of room for improvement here. I ran 11.7 @121 with stock 1.9L blower on my 08 in Baytown TX. Mods were VMP pulley, tune and Intake. Also ran Nito NT05R tires on stock rims. I never took my 08 stock to the track but I gtech'd 12.3-12.5 on the street.

How long have you owned your Super Snake. I've only seen a couple over the years. Last one was at Tasca Ford a few years ago. Yours looks really good. Oh, and congrats on the 12.1 @ 119.6. Like you said, practice will get you into the 11s.

I purchased it along with an 07 40th back in July. Still getting used to it for sure. It only had 2000 miles on it so basically brand new. The original owner was a collector that passed away. The 07 only has 100 miles and has the 725hp KenneBell option. I have not driven that one though, looking to sell it.
