He was not at the last test and tune. I think he said he was from the central coast area of Calif. (Ventura?) , I'm not sure. I live in Bakersfield and have not seen the car around here during the day. I have no reason to lie about this race, I saw the 5.8 on the blower when his hood was up after our run. We talked, I think he said he set the launch rpm @ 3,000 for his first run (against me), so yeah , there could be some getting use to the launch control. I agree I should not have won the race so easily (3 carlengths) because I was 300 lbs heavier and 106 hp less (factory rating), but that's racing.
I've seen the Evolution video of the first GT500 in the 9's (9.95 @ 142+) and the mods they did to that GT500 were the exact same mods I was going to do if I had bought the Mustang. I know they are fast. But in the end, I didn't need a 3rd race car. We are in the process of building the SRT-10 engine and adding about 200 rwhp (heads , cam , custom intake, solid roller, 11:1 compression, forged rods and pistons) as I have gone 11.63 on the pure stock internals. I also have a 2000 Firehawk, that is having a custom built 433 cubic inch LS1 at LME (Houston). It will have ETP heads, and a Harrop Hurricane Intake (8 individual throttle bodies, search google for a picture). So that's why I choose the CTS V, for a daily driver and I have an extended warranty. I think a 118.91 mph daily driver is cool. Plus the young kids don't expect a 67 year old grand pa to shift like I do.
