I don't see anything wrong with that 4.7. If you get a good launch it's all yours, IMO.

I really wish we had more guys here that ran the 1/4 so I could take a look at their 60 foot times. The launch is what it's all about when it comes to getting the lowest ET. With these big, sticky tires on the Z I would think we would be seeing sub 2.0 second 60' times with a good driver. I know with my stock '03 Mustang GT I managed a 1.93s 60' on stock 245 goodyears, which was pretty much unheard of... some shitty drivers with drag radials can't even pull that kind of number.

In any case, I'm hoping after some time with the car I can head out to the track and put down some solid numbers. I really want to see just what this car can do in stock form down the 1/4. It feels a lot quicker than my GT, which, at the time I sold it was running low 13s... it "feels" to me like a 13-flat car if all conditions are right.
