Went to Le Mans in 2002 and blew away every bike i came across and there was a lot, i hunted them all down and made them squeal like little pigs!
I huffed and puffed and blew their little bikes over !
Out of curiosity, is 5th and 6th gears broken on your bike then ?

I think its time for you to return your '2fast 2furious' video and rejoin the real world. When you inherit a couple more brain cells I will reply again. In the mean time may I suggest you go back to your own forum or do they ignore you there as well ?
Out of interest a bike the same as mine has just been track tested in the press. Up against a 911 GT3, M3, Murcielago and a Radical. None came close but then your car is way quicker, right ? you have the model 'out of the box' that is Not listed on Fords's site right ? Not know you cars weight, working on a guess at a modest 1500kg's you would need 1455 BHP to match my bikes power to weigt ratio, thats a lot of NOS..
Look on the bright side, if its as quick as you say it is, at least you will have time to put plenty of miles on it before it rusts to bits

Come on guys where's the 'friendly' gone? Blown 5.0 and Mean Saleen are personal friends of mine but as far as I know do not know anyone else on this site! You've got to give respect, whether or not you like mustangs, to any car that can run the numbers! Blown 5.0. has run 11.74 @ 119 +++ with his old set up, he does not need to check things out with Jenkins Comp or me since he and Mean Saleen have taught me all I know! There is too much talk about what a car should run and too little about what it actually does run. the 1/4 mile is the true test since dynos differ so much. Blown 5.0 ran my C4 for 3 years so I think he does know what he's talking about and yes it did run 13.51 STOCK and won the SPRC championship last year. Mean Saleen has however defected to the ble oval since when we first met he had Corvette's and then an awesome WS6 TransAm that ran 12.19 @ 119 on gas! However we are talking on this thread about ZR1415/ZR1427's car and the probable numbers. All I can say is I was supposed to have a very rare 383 SS Camaro with Procharger built, which was meant to be 540 BHP, £20,000 +++ and all I got was a wrecked engine, those who know me (and have had a similar experience) know the story, those who don't beware!
Trap times for a my Suzuki GSXR - top end 186mph(it's restricted to that), a quarter in 10.42@146mph
As for ZR1415/427, only time will tell. We all know the history and thats one of the reasons no figures have been mentioned by 415. Lets wait and see what it can do when its finished although on the quarter, like other ZR1's its still going to be fighting for traction.

just to get things back down to the facts , xc2 motorsport in california run a late GT with a 306 and a turbo full weight give or take a few pounds , a tremec 5 speed 1043 bhp and over 1000ftlb of torque goes a best Et of 8.90s with a best trap speed of 161 mph , with an automatic im sure it would run 8.30s.Im sure with 1455 bhp that would put a mustang to super street outlaw specs and were talking 7s at well over 170mph, with a minmum weight of well over 3000lbs.Mind you im sure you would win round a circuit.we are all about fun even if things get a little heated but i say if got got a yank v8 , it doesnt matter who makes it , put a bit of modern tech equipment on it it will go like gang busters, take a trip to the states where money is no object and these guys do really run these numbers they are not just magazine BS but it seems in the Uk the road test mags get there over prepped Tvr cerbra type cars that run 118 in the 1/4 but when they go to the pod they run low 13s at 110 or so where did all that horsepower go!!!!!
MS - You give the 'big smile, big smile' yet you still keep baitin' - WTF.
Whatever, I'm still relatively new here but I bid you welcome. We can take your ragging, in fact you're making me smile.
Blown5.0 - Appreciate your comments, let's keep the thread going. Seems to me that as a base, them old pushrod V8's can take a lot of mods before you need to think about strengthening the internals.

Where does it say i have 700hp,ime not aware its come from my posts.
If this had been a genuine thread asking for my times i would have no problem posting them.
And my buisness with whoever does my work is my buisness not anyone elses,,Heather i dont want to fall out with anyone about this but there seems some out there who are intent in stirring the pot, if youve got a hidden agenda dont put me on the spot to try and prove apoint,,like i said just pick up the phone if youve got an axe to grind or simply move on.
