Just a update with my S197
 

Well last month I went to Milan dragway for the NMRA race at Milan. I ended up coming 3rd in the superstang class so I was happy about that. The car ran a best of 12.04 @116 mph to date. Since then Ive gone to cayuga and ran a bunch of 12.1 passes. My sport line springs and stock suspension are killing me so Qa1 suspension has been ordered.

Very close to my goal and Im not changing my set up until I hit a 11 second pass with a stock long block S197 :P

GT500's, Termy's bring the noise! :chacha:

What have you got done to your car? I am guessing all bolt ons, some suspension? Nice times!

Yep all bolt on's knocked off 300lbs out of the car, Upr lower controls arms, k-member kit etc etc, I have a pretty big build sheet

Car weighs 3240 with me in it and makes 315hp at the wheels

That's awesome!!It's amazing what a little homework,and trial,and error will do!You give hope to the S197 GT corwd. :tup
What gear are you running out back?

Nice job. I have seen a GT500 run 10.54 which seems alright. I have a buddy doing the bolt on thing only and he has run a best of 13.1 at Race City Calgary (3500 ft) He still has some work to catch you:laughhard

Very nice, I will say hi at the next OCSA race if you are their.

im going to try and make it for next weekend, hopefulley my suspension will come in so I can really get the car dialed in. I hope to shoot for the 11.9 index class :chacha:

11s on the motor, that'll be hustling :tup

Yes sir :biggrin: It's almost un heard of with a 4.6. I love going to the track (like I said on the other boards) "What blower do you have!?" "I don't"

"But my GT500 is only running 13's!?"

:chacha:

I know the GT you are speaking of.
There is a 2787 foot difference between Milan and Calgary so I suspect that the car you speak of is going to run pretty close to the same times at each track especially a motor only pass. I know my car is a full second faster at Mission than it is at Calgary which is about the same altitude difference.
