Mustang MPH? - Page 7

Smitty,
Check out the old Factory Experimental thread. Many of us made posts on that thread that made it very clear that we would be against any OEM pulling a stunt like this.

From what I can see this car was built with off the shelf stuff, and yes it has great potential.
Why can't you guys let the AHFS do it's job, it will only be a matter of time before these god forsaken vehicles destroy themseleves then after that happens all the GM owners will be happy.
IMHO I think had this been a new Camaro running these numbers it wouldn't be nearly as much fuss. '
Heavens, if that new Challenger runs low tens the class racing world just might come to an end.
Chevy's rule the roost in a majority of NHRA classes, can some other makes dominate for once, just a little while before we are factored out?

NO, it must be all chebby, all the time, OR ELSE!!

How dare you think an outsider can play the same games!

For shame.....

Sorry for the off topic but,

Evan moving to Florida??? No more MM&FF???

Yes, by all means, let the AHFS do its job. After all, we all know how well the AHFS works, it is nearly flaw less. And NHRA is working every day to make it better, more fair, more accurate, and quicker to respond.

So I guess what a majority of you are saying is that Ford should have told NHRA to rate this combo at say 550 hp or better out the box. Did NHRA not rate the LT1 and LS1 combo's soft initially?
I don't get it, these cars have only attended two or three races and you GM guys want put the car out of the class. Ford did exactly what any other manufacturer could do, if these guys go out there and run too fast they will get horsepower. If enough of you cry NHRA might change the AHFS because of one car but how many other combos might this affect? If they did something it would have to be across the board so we would be right back where we were in the begining; the Cobra Jet at the head of the pack!
I really can't believe this car has caused this much of stir.
