Thanks Karl, I came back from 2-3 cars back and passed him at the end. Better launch will put me in the 11s

NICE run, Lee!

Yep.... One of the "best kept secrets" of the LT5 and their ilk is the power delivery characteristics afforded by the OHC/4-valve architecture: loooong and steady; "pulls like a freight train!" Truly a very fun and unique power delivery, compared to anything I'd experienced prior to owning my 90Z.

But the trophy stays home!!

The way an LT-5 accelerates in the second half of the 1/4mile is uncanny. You really need to experience it. Lee's run demonstrates it pretty well.

Right. Your car picked up 30mph in the final 1/8. Exactly the point re: DOHC motors. BTW, that 5.0 Coyote Mustang was running pretty smooth on the track.
