I love it.
We had a fella here run an 8.90 something with a modded factory transmission a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it. |

More drag car than street car. (2 speed power glide, aftermarket computer)
Never the less, an impressive time. 1st 9 sec mustang in OZ.

LOL. How does an aftermarket computer make it more of a drag car than a street car ? There are literally thousands of street cars in Australia that run after market computers. Plus, powerglides have been in tough street cars for years. The fact that it is a full weight car with all features retained makes it more street car than drag car.

I'd prefer it with the factory 6 speed auto as well.

Don't know why they fitted the powerglide when the 6R80 has run a lot quicker than this car has.

In sure if they could tune the turbos on the factory computer, they would not be forced to go aftermarket. Hence more drag car than street car.

Powerglides are beautiful things. I prefer them over C4's and TH400's but I think they just did it to make controlling the aftermarket computer easier. It's a good thing to see that engine running those times on stock bottom end in any case.

there's a story in Street Machine as well. the car was a manual so might be why they put the 2-speed in. The aftermarket computer they say had to do with tuning and pushing it so far reliably, I have heard from many tuners even Rob Herrod say the Mustangs especially turbo are extremely hard to tune here and in America, that might explain why the 3 others that were doing turbo took them off. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with a blown Mustang as it's an option for me. They said it's factory computer and auto
