^^^ Pics look great!!! :beer:

Looks great man! Mine is jealous of those wheels!

Thanks guys!

So close to 11's, that sixty still has room for improvement.

There's really no way to improve the 60' without a converter or adding more power, I have tried several different tire heights with minimal change. I have a converter ordered but was just really wanting that 11 as is.

Finally 11's before the converter, a 4c was installed after returning from the track..

Impressive! So as far as HP mods. Full exhaust (long tubes) and tune?

Long tubes, offroad x, gt500 mufflers, and Mike Rousch tune. I also have bmr lca's and relocation brackets. Stock airbox, gears, and the only weight removed was the spare so I could haul my 26's in the trunk.

Awesome ride man. I have the same exact suspension setup with 40k miles on it. So far so good.

Thanks, bmr is good stuff lol.

Wow. Such minimal mods and trapping almost 118. Badass! Congrats on achieving your goals.

PICS look great nice numbers as well:coolman:

Thanks sir!

Congrats JLear did you sell your GT500?

7.50's at 92 N/A with that big heavy car is impressive

Thanks, yeah I traded in the gt500 for the 5.0. I wanted something better suited for me to run at the track and I had some personal issues at home and down sizing was a smart decision for me. I really liked the shelby but Ive had a lot more fun with this one lol.
