I too went to MIR over the weekend, and had fun looking at the other 129 Mustangs there! Driving down, I met up with four other members of the host club, but we ended up taking a different route than I had planned to go. Their route was shorter, and instead of arriving at the track with 10-15 miles to E, I had 78 miles to E - so much for the idea of putting 4-5 gallons of 104 unleaded in the car and running my race tune. So I retained my 93 tune, and kept the interior in tact (but removed the jack, spare, and floor).
I got to make 4 passes, and beat my previous personal best twice. Here is my best slip of the day:
The other car was a S197 GT, and you'll notice that I beat him in the 1/8th mile! After getting a new PB, I was coached by rygenstormlocke to do a ProStock burnout for the camera. Using my new line locks, I put a hurtin' on my M&H Racemaster DR's. Sadly, rygen's camera battery died, so I had to do it again. I was happy to oblige! My new sig displays rygen's handiwork with a camera (thanks Todd!).
Two other NA Torque Monsters ran 14.4's, and one of those was a car with only a tune, intake, and exhaust (using the 16" stock BFG's on a peg-leg 3.31:1 rear-end!).
All in all, it was a great day.

Nice run, and great short time. Any plans on dipping into the 13s?

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.

That's a pretty nice run for the torque monster. What are your mods?
I've done a few things to my coupe: - C&L intake - Custom tunes by Evolution Performance (87, 93, Race) - PHP alternator pulley - Dual GT take-off mufflers, with x-pipe and all Ford parts - 7.5" 4.10:1 Ford gears and T-Lok - CHE lower control arms - BMR upper control arm - PH aluminum driveshaft & front safety loop - K-member w/ torque limiters - Line Locks - 275/50R17 M&H Racemaster DR's on 17x9" replica Bullitts - Slate Metallic wide hood stripes by BSM - Spoiler delete
Planned: - Rear shocks - Wideband AFR gauge - SPEC stage 2 clutch, and maybe an alum flywheel

Nice runs! I wish I could have been there as the DA was an astounding -1400 from what I understand. Those are the kind of DA's that we dream of. Nice burnouts, really gotta heat those M&H's up.
Very Nice times. I have seriously been looking into getting one of the New sixxers. They are not too horribly slow stock, have a good suspension with tons of room to improve, and a decent engine that gets pretty good gains. I am not a fan of how heavy they are or of the styling too much but they are still pretty good cars to me. I am stuck between a 05-06 V6 or 96-98 Cobra.

even though the 96-98 cobras will be quicker, id rather have a stock s197 v6. looks, comfort, room, etc.
^Maybe your v6 but a stock one, come on. Don't even get me started about the looks department. A s197 v6 doesnt even compare. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
Oh, comeon, that's more fun than it is practical. I would ask what kind of gas mileage you get, but I don't want to cry because of my lowly 15mpg driving conservatively (dont even ask about the highway)

Your V6 is awesome and all, but, I just don't think I'd be able to get rid of a Termi for an '05+ V6 Stang, or any '05+ Stang for that matter.
