Great 60ft time.
I plan on bring mine down some.
I agree 60ft times are subjective, but it gives you an idea of how well you are transfering power to the ground.
I love the heavier MN12 with its longer wheel base, it makes for a smooth ride, which I enjoy driving my wife's Tbird on the highway.
As for the lighter Mustang thing, when I am on street tires I have to drive like a little old to prevent tire spin and I do not drive it on wet rainy days.
I haven't come close to pulling off a 60ft time like that when I was driving. The number I posted is what my 91 did with Chris Wise driving on slicks, excellent racing weather with a well prepped track and launching with 100 HP shot of nitrous (aprox 535 rwhp).
Here is the video with him driving.

Here is what happened at the same power level with me driving.

All this talk about spinning the tires from a roll is just for fun, but for me it's also a pretty accurate seat of the pants indicator for how much power the car is making or not making. Based on how fast of a roll it will spin the street tires from, and how hard they spin, I can guess within a tenth or two, what it's going to do on the track. Sorta like a butt dyno.
