Last week, my buddy and I took my SC SHO on a road trip back to my home town in Phoenix, Arizona. Yeah, AZ in the summertime, we're nuts. The car felt more powerful from the lower altitude, but we had to back off timing and wait till night time to run the car since I have not installed my charge cooling yet. I still had no problem breaking the tires loose at 4,500 rpm rolling into the throttle and spinning them until redline (8,000 rpm). I happend to do that pulling out of a car show at the Scottsdale Pavilions next to an NSX while playing around with my dad in his 500whp Monte Carlo.
Anyway, while traveling on the freeway, my buddy and I see two Mustangs racing on the on ramp getting on the freeway. The Mustang you will see in the video completely obliterated a 260hp Mustang GT. During the race, the GT was gaining on me quickly with at least a 20mph head start. I dropped it into third and the GT never caught up, I pulled away. When I let off the throttle to let them catch up and pass, they both had the WTF look on their faces. We could not have been happier... In fact, I think my buddy's words were "holy f***".
After seeing how the GT got dusted by the other Mustang, it was time for some catch up. I caught up to him and I were directed off the freeway for construction. We went from a stop... I've never appropriately launched this car before. I spun completely through first, yet I was still side-by-side with him. When it came to second gear, I don't think I pushed the clutch in all the way since it really did not want to come out of gear easily causing me to miss second gear. From there, I let off. I was not happy with that, so I caught back up to him and egged him on to go from third.... Watch the video for results(ran out of storage space near the end). I believe the guys exact words were, "that thing is fast". His Mustang was no slouch either.

Currently, my 3.0L is sitting around 500 BHP.

I don't have a video of that. I did protray what happened just fine. Although, I did explain what happened from a dig in the first post.
