Well now hold on a second! The '05 is great but nothing looks better than a '69 Boss (302 or 429...you choose!). :D

Ditto!!! Though I prefer the '69 302 for looks- the '70 302 is nice as well- but the hockey stick strip is not as nice as the '69 C stripe!

Yeah, he needs to post the slip to back it up. Hopefully we'll see it soon.
Timeslip my behind! I want to see a video - and also one of him/her going around the car showing it is stock.

After racing a guy who claimed to be stock except for slicks - and finding out he had several things done (not for money of course but he could at least have been honest). I can post up slips all day long where I ran 13.0's and lower and could claim them to be stock runs but who is to tell otherwise. If I were to see it I could believe it. Another thing - say I go up against someone and run a 14.0 and he/she runs a a 13.2, then I could claim that slip as mine. I am a skeptic unless I see it. there are so many internet racers out there that just want to show how low they run and do not care about honesty...
 
Impressive e.t., not-that-exciting mph.. When you're out in the country powering through sweepers and honking down straightaways, 1.8-1.9 60-foot times are fairly irrelevent. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid dragger. It's those same kind of 60-foot times that gets my Lightning such fantastic results (low 13's). But I like a car that'll really pull like a locomotive from 40-50 mph on-up, not just win 1-block stoplight sprints. Don't kill me, I'm not flaming, the performance is great for being a GT. But it doesn't seem to have the legs of the Mach. Gearing or not....

Are you talking about the manual or auto? Maybe I haven't looked around enough but a lot of the results I've seen with the '05 have been with automatics, so I'm just making sure we're comparing apples to apples so to speak.

Does 102 seem a little low for 13.2x? And I definitely need a timeslip...

Not for a sub 2.0 sixty foot like that I don't think. Just means this car hooks well and launches hard. I remember when the Mach first came out, Cobrakiller made a 13.1 @ 101 1/4 mile pass with just DRs on his car. I have the vid on my computer still somewhere.

Thusfar I haven't seen much of a difference in mph between posted manual and auto times (which has me eating a tiny bit of crow), BUT, it's still early in the game. I'm waiting to see somebody with a hot foot come on here and post a good slip with a good 60' time with a manual.
