Running in the mid 9 seconds in the 1/4 mile is a great accomplishment for a 4000 pound six speed street shelby.Putting a six speed 4000 pound shelby in the eight second zone is not going to happen.

I will love to see that and it will be a great accomplishment:beer:

In my opinion I think you have to much power for that clutch and transmission to go in the 8's. It is just going to keep breaking. :rockon:

Hey newbie....ever hear of a boost controller...or maybe a properly set suspension...Maybe you guys are right though?? I'm going to keep breaking parts trying!! I'm not a quitter!! :burnout:

I have the mph to do it no problem. When I get the 60ft right it's done. I think I might have 8 passes with this set up...give us a little time. Team Thunder doesn't play.

Tony, whatever you do, put a cage in that car man. Good luck :beer:

David, why can't a Shelby run 8's with a 6 speed but vipers and supras can? They even do it with IRS! It will happen, but I just think the members of this board are just too used to seeing others take the easy way out. They didn't have the drive or the skill to make one of these cars go 8's with a 6 speed, but i'm confident that we do have the skill, and I know we have the drive. Just because Evo can't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done period ;-) It's not going to happen over night instantly, but it takes more suspension tuning, careful tire selection, and clutch operation to get it done, and the testing and tuning to go along with it.

Im sure it will hit 8's with the 6speed after enough R&D and seat time. Its got the power and the mph there.
