1.98 sec 60' out of a LB9.

Sunday at Byron dragway I ran a 1.98 60' with my 305. With out the 30 mph head wind I think I had a new best but low mph hurt in the end. I ran even with my old best. 14.633 @ 91.4mph.

Judging from the differences in mph, I definitely agree you would have been on an all-time best run.

------------------
1989 Mustang LX 5.0 Coupe
13.34@106.7 - needs more gear and converter

1992 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible
14.23 @ 95.something - 100% bone stock motor - it's been a while since I've ran this one

Just when I start to think about finishing the 350 The 305 impresses me again and again. I have to see how fast it can go.

Here is my old best vs my new best.
OLD NEW (30mph head wind)
60' 2.038 1.986
330 6.054 5.980
1/8 9.355 9.288
mph' 74.60 74.10
1000' 12.221 12.173
1/4 14.655 14.633
mph 93.12 91.37

Last time I was at Byron someone toasted a rice ride with too much nitrous right on the starting line. They used something to clean it up that made even me spin my tires like crazy off the line. 1.98 is damn good, without that wind you would have definetly had a great time.
