I took the Shelby to the track last night. My ET where awful for a few reasons: street tires, bad suspension, 2nd gear is grinding & not going in, and I haven't been to the track and raced in forever.

I ran 14.678 @ 104.38mph
2.424 60ft (street tires)
missed 2nd (synchros are going bad)
I was happy with my trap times for 18psi on 93 octane

I think the trap would have been better if I could have gotten into 2nd

First run I blew the tires and had to double clutch to get into second and it bogged real bad. I need slicks bad!:D

I wasn't expecting much on Street tires. I was happy with my untuned trap speeds though.

Once the header, GT3076R, Alky, Race Gas, and a proper tune on 28psi...I think she will respond very well to slicks and the hybrid tranny being built! Can't wait for posi!

trapping 104 but in the mid 14's?

slicks are your solution to 12's i'd guess.

any pix of the car?

This is the first time ever takin this car to the Track. I can't drive it at all. My first pass was 16.77 @ 102mph LOL. Spun hard in first, had to double clutch 2nd and forced it in...then bogged. 3.7 60ft LOL. It was embarassing:o

I always thought the CSX-T was the best looking of the Shelby Shadows. I kinda wish I had mine back after seeing your's. I had planned a 16 valve engine, a solid white paint job (no grey at the bottom) with factory decals, and white powder coated Lemans wheels. I needed the money to finish my Shelby Charger, so I sold it.

Haha, I'll bet it wasn't any more embarassing then my very first pass down the dragstrip at '03 Turbopalooza in my old black '91 C/S Daytona.

Try beating a 2.XX reaction time, and a 17.1..... hell, I even spun into third gear!

I'm sure Fleckster, Ken Adler, and 3Bar_Mopar remember that one, lol.
