If you bought what you wanted, who cares how much it cost? I'm not paying for it, and noone else on this board is either--you got what you want. Period.

Those numbers presented in that TCTO spreadsheet are grossly inaccurate. Just sayin.

My WS6 wouldn't even sqeak a tire on shifts. It would lay waste to mustangs with similar power/weight simply because on the 1-2 shift they lost a car-length that they never came back from. You need good tires for the street, too!

Were you granny shifting? If you power shift, I'm pretty sure you'll get rubber, at least on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts....

Shifting pretty aggressively. Not a full-on powershift, but it wasn't leisurely, either. The car just had a well designed suspension (for straight-line) and wide tires. After the tires were worn out, it would catch rubber a bit. Not much, though. Every mustang I raced from a dig would run into problems with me on the 1-2 shift, if not well before. I'm glad I sold it before the new 5.0's came out, although since I was able to stay neck/neck with 2010 SS's, I am curious how it would have compared.
