    Over or under.....place your bets

    Ok....

    So we're headed to the strip with the Roush 427R tomorrow for some funnin' and filming.

    The boys over at Autoblog had one and went 13.40's with it.

    Where will we end up on the ET scale?
    It's a 5 gear like the one they tested so we're on equal ground.

    I think I can beat that and take our rightful place atop the interweb journalism heap.

        Bud...thanks for the vote of confidence.

        Gonna be tough to drive the thing and shoot photos at the same time, but I've got a plan for that.

              It is going to be an episode of Barnstormin' w/ Brian as the Host.

              It should be a great video.

                            I'm rooting for ya. ;D
                            I agree.
                            Also, drive it like you would a fox Notchback.
                            Balancing the clutch and throttle. If you can get it to shift quickly,
                            and not hang up.

                            I'd bet you'll see 12.9's.

                              Bill, are you sure you aren't being optimistic, even for a Ford guy ?
