Went to River City Raceway last night to run the R maybe one last time(may be selling it). Air was pretty good but got bad when moisture rolled in. First pass with minimal cool down: 12.76 @ 113. I believe the improvement was due to the off road X-pipe(Mac) that I installed. Sounds like an R should now! I made one more pass but spun worse and hit the rev limiter at the top of second, 13.06 @ 111. Sixty foots were 2.22 and 2.32.:( I wanted to make another pass but cars kept wrecking due to the track getting slick and I got tired of waiting. With some sticky tires and 4.10s ...

You scared me there for a second.. I thought you were going to get out of Mustangs all together.. I am glad she is staying with you for the time being..

Hey did you ever take any pictures of the car without the Wing on it?

I am still interested in those..

What about taking some measurments or doing a pencil rub for a hole template for me?

I need a template for when I get one of those R wings for mine.

Thanks,
Matt

I saw Carter's car in person and it looks great without the spoiler and splitter. Like a stealth Cobra with a giant hood :-D.

Good run, dude. 113 trap...you should hit low twelves with sticky tires alone, 4.10s would be gravy...
