Who's the boss
I have a Mark VIII (I was the green one at the Nationals in OKC) and agree with the car being faster without the traction control. Sorry I didn't have run it on the track in OKC, but maybe next time. Mark is limping with a leaking air front air bag (spirng) right now but I plan to remedy it tomarrow. It would be a good race. THe SC seams to have more pep on the line but after 65 in a full throtled run, my Mark starts pulling hard, all the way to 130 where I become chicken and back out. Its bone stock except for a K & N. THe both seam slow off the line compared to my Newest car. Its a 93 Mustang Cobra that, MAC headers and off road h-pipe, Pro 5.0 shifter, 3.73 gears. It quick off the line and available for purchase for the low low price of 18,500. I would like to race a SC Thunderchicken with it someday maybe. Oh did I mention that It has a vortec supercharger. No intercooler on it yet, but its coming someday, if I keep it long enough. Anyways, I don't hear anyone asking me to race for pinks in it. But the Mark, It would be a much more interesting race, especially in a half mile. It might also depend on how the cars are driven everyday since the computers make changes for economy/performance according to driving style and demand of the driver. I often wonder about how driving style before such an encounter would affect the performance. Anyways, that neither here nor there and I think its a close race anyway you look at it.
