I don't think he bought the car new. If I recall when he bought this car it already had a TS on it. I never mentioned trapping 140, I just said running 10's. Don't get me wrong the car's cool, its just seems ever since turbos went on this car, its been nothing but problems. Seems to be common with turbo mustangs.

Yes, I could buy a used Z for what I have in my car, but I like having a back seat for my son to ride in when he wants to.
I don't know if you are being genuine, or trying to be a smart ass, but my car with the old "cheap" mods ran well into the 10's for much less than a ZO6.
Yes a stock C6Z can get in the 10's, with everything perfect. Not happening for Joe blow. Yesterday was no where near perfect circumstances, and I ran 4 10 sec passes out of 6. I'm not a great driver, and Richmond is not a great track.

Any car you put turbos, fuel system, new motor, new tranny, ect. ect. on is bound to have problems, not just Mustangs.
I'm sure most people would love to have the problems I have. A mid 10 sec DD car with no changes, isn't really a problem to most people, but I'm not most people.

It was a joke, someone took too seriously. Believe me id rather have a TT 03 cobra over a vette. Im sure once the bugs are worked out you will hit 9's no problem, what did you think of your new t56?

Cool.

So far so good. I obviously took it easy on it yesterday, but it's pretty smooth, and it didn't break, so its good for now. Still getting used to having a non faceplated tranny though.
