Jay, the funny thing was I didn't even know I was being brave those first few trips out. I had just *assumed* these cars were built to be drag raced hard. Should've spent more time searching the forums back then... :read:
I did snap a tooth off the 3.31 ring gear bone stock back in summer of 2009 while at the drag strip though...
My guess is that there are lots of people who drag race these cars but don't belong to forums. And there are perhaps people that just don't post their experiences for one reason or another.
I can't believe for the money ford charged they put that junk DS in these cars until 2013
Notice a pop at the 12.5 second mark of the second video?
Exactly how I see it as well.
And I can't believe that after a two year run they abandoned the CF shaft.
