Over all I love this car. The engine has survived everything I have done to it. I have dragged raced it in the 1/8th and 1/4 mile 15 times totaling over 100 runs. I drive it like I stole it almost every day. And at 120,000 with a 100 shot of NOS, I can still run a 12.2 in the 1/4 mile. This is the best car I have ever owned and I am not going to trade it in. I am going to keep it as a drag car.
It could be better and that is why I have made so many modifications, but I bought it for a little over 13,000 and it was a great buy.
Well sir, if you drag race a car and put a car under all that pressure, well you are going to have problems. A Mustang is not a car to be used in that kind of manner, and if you do use it like that, you need to expect problems. And plus a car is not perfect, things happen to it.
^are you nuts? mustangs are best for drag racing! what other car can you buy and make it run 9 seconds in the 1/4 for less than 15K spent in mods? id really like to know.
My Bad.
