[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16202592, member: 188865"] It's not just driving error. It's gearing as well. I have 4.09's now in my 350 and the car pulls harder WHEN it gets traction. As you would expect, the car has plenty of torque to roll them over in just about any gear. Some food for thought, the reason the 350 is such a dog at drag racing is because the gearing is roughly 12% taller than an equivalent MT82 trans'd GT. Combined with the power band and the 30 (or 35) series profile track tires, this makes the car EXTREMELY difficult to launch. It's a razor thin line between bog or spin. Fathouse Fabrications just ran 9.02 at 160 mph in a car where they dumped the 3160 (in favor of a T56 magnum) and ditched the rear brakes for a smaller wheel and fatter walled tires (and of course nearly 1500 rwhp). The question isn't whether the car can make power or torque (it makes more torque than any non-blown mustang variant), the question is whether or not the car is setup for drag racing and the answer is …….. NO. It's setup for continuous hard track duty. [/QUOTE]
