Yes, a standard cab ,2wd sport, auto, 3.55 no suregrip. I think the red
paint and Magnum Force stripes gives me the extra umph.

Really the 9.9 at 72mph was right after they had put liquid traction on the
track. I'm going to have to get me some slicks to run there since my stock
tires won't last very long. But how to carry them there????? Hey! I do
have an advantage on all those mustangs, a bed!!!! ;-)

Can't wait for the DT and a SBEC!!! I guess I'll have to put in a Suregrip
unit first!
