Top Ten Quickest

[SuperHO]

I don't know, with all of that, it is quite possible, no doubt!

I ran mid 9's with less than you and have a 9.2 somewhere in there, and that was all with CAI and no interior, slips still around.

Your run would've came out to probably have been anywhere from 13.8-14.0 in the quarter.

I know...that's why I wasn't too sure about it and made a point to let everyone know that I think the timing equipment was ***** that night.

Though the track was sticky enough to peel the sole off your shoe if you weren't careful...something about georgia daytime heat and a hairy buttload of VHT is a wonderful thing.

92-93 were Royal blue (dark metallic with that purple color shift that you describe). 94-95 were the moonlight blue which is a much lighter color.

My car (see sig pic) is a royal blue 93 like your was. I personally prefer the 92-93 color.

hmmmmm. Thanks for the info
I ASSUMED "royal" and "moonlight" were the same.
Why then, do a lot of sho owners refer to a "midnight" blue??

Wow! You have black interior. Thats the best color combo AND best looking sho of all 3 gen's IMHO

hehe..Thanks. I think that some people refer to the darker blue as a midnight but the Ford color code is "royal blue".

My car orginally had a grey interior. I never liked it. After I installed a black FR500 steering wheel, I was compelled to make the rest of the interior match.

[Xs SHO 1]

'93 atx near stock, D4U1 w/Superchip, rebuilt tranny, w/suspension mods and full weight. Had about 180k miles.

US 41 Dragaway 05/31/03 @14:02:00 hrs

Car #2

2.384 60ft
9.989 1/8 @ 70.89 MPH

15.328 @ 91.83 MPH

I'm claiming the fastest '93 atx that day....

 

[SuperHO]

So what does a 9.4 in the 1/8th translate into in the 1/4 mile?

 

[Ian Macoomb]

Well 9.6's put me into the 14.9 range. You're two tenths faster to the 1/8th and the V6's have a better second 1/8th than the V8's so I'd hazard a guess of somewhere between 14.2 and 14.5.

 

[Toolman]

When I was running 14.5's, my 1/8th was in the 9.3 @ 74mph, or thereabouts. I think my turbo ran the 1/8th in 8.8@86mph, but this is all from my not so great recollection. I will have to look to find out for sure.

 

[SuperHO]

Now I KNOW my clutch sucks.....in GA I was running consistant mid 9s in the 8th.....run on Martin with a different clutch and I can't break 15.2.....running 10.2 in the 1/8th.

Got a crap load of mods and I can't outrun a stock SHO on the dragstrip....



Damned Clutchmaster's stage I......

Hey, I have a 14.8 where's my claim to fame?

Run a 14.8 on a 3.0 and then post. :wave:

I did run a 14.8 on my old 3.0 pre 3.2 swap... had 115K on her and badly needed a 60K as the plug wires were swimming in oil. Why then did I do the 3.2 swap?

 

[masho95]

Do you have the slip for your 14.8 NA run?

Holy bald tire run batman. I'm sure I'd run ALOT quick with my new tires... maybe hitting a 2.2 60'

 

[TYSHO]

Can we make a Top Ten Slowest section? :wave:

92 MTX

R/T...............186
60'................3.279
330'..............7.844
1/8...............11.391 @ 68.84
1000'............14.439
1/4..............16.970 @ 89.46

 

[SASHO91]

brian, tell me thats wrong... dam my car is slow......

 

[TYSHO]

It's all correct!

From the stats above, I was spinning like crazy in first gear, let off the throttle and was still spinning. I then tried to give it throttle again, hoping it would hook, and spin spin spin! I then, completely let off the gas until the spinning completely stopped, then I hit the gas, about 10mph, and talk about wheel hop and spinning again!

That track truly sucked!

Best was a 16.325 @ 89.26, from the timeslips I recieved. I made my last run, screwed up launch, and did a WOT upshift to 3rd! Shifted faster and smoother than an ATX.

 

[SHOMurph]

New surface at Texas Motorplex.

I got better traction on the street....it will take awhile for the track to be broken.

I ran 14.8 @98 on the juice (spinning for a long time in second gear.)

Glen, I do not have the post in front of me, but I will make an effort to find it.
