Well, this is a vid of my 69 Mach 1 at the 1/8th mile dragstrip. It is before we got the hood but it still looks good and is very fast.
(More pics to come later)

Well, out of our first six runs in the car, the best time was 6.86 at 101 mph. You can see what we did to it in this post.

This video was taken from my digital camera, so that is why the quality is not that great. But my video capture card should be coming in the next few days and then I can put some videos from my video camera on here which are much better quality.

It is just a C6 3-speed automatic. I wanted to make it a manual but I figured with this amount of power, an auto would be more consistent.

Well in our area, emissions is not very important compared to a city like Miami or any other major city. But if we put the mufflers on and change the rear tires to street legal ones, then it is allowed on public roads.

Yea a semi-auto would be better. That is what all the really fast racers use. We would consider one but it would be too much money right now. I am sure soon though we will go all out.

I think even without a semi-auto gearbox your 'stang is f*cking impressive!

Damn nice! Hearing the V8 made me smile from ear to ear. The car looks great launching. Your auto tranny will do just fine, ive seen guys runnin 8-9s with a conventional (although heavily built) TH400s.

That video just made me want to take out the Nova and go hit up the strip some more although your car is a hell of a lot faster then mine LOL, but lately ive been thinkin about guttin it and addin some more power. Not like that will happen anytime soon though...I need to stop being so lazy LOL

But shit, your Stang is lookin very nice and sounds fuckin great!!!! Beautiful car!
