Extra cubic inches are the ticket! My 95' 360 Daks runs consistent 14.30's,
13.80's with slicks.

| then it comes down to who has the most money. And not
| just the 5 speeds are close, the autos too. My SLT
| 4.7 CC auto has so far run a best of 14.92 with just
| a K&N. That is very close if not faster than lots of
| the 'slower' CC RT's.
