My shifts were quite slow as I make sure they are positive. Zf damage is the last thing I need.Pantera is definitely not a 1/4 mile car.
Motor makes 432hp and 444 ft to the wheels. 10:1 comp, hydraul roller 580ish lift, well worked iron CC heads.
Its a low 11 motor in a fox body mustang.
The first run I smoked the tires off and the second I dumped it at too low of an RPM and fell out of the power band. The hood was lifting on the first run as well so I let off early
Couldve been in 11's but I was 4.5 hrs away from home and didnt want to push my luck.

Will, its a LONG haul for Canadians, but each Fall at the Mojave Airport in east-central California, they run the 'Mojave Mile'. Same concept except the super-wide concrete runway is 1.0 mile in length plus another mile or so of runoff. Current 'record' for sorta-street-driven sporty cars is around 210, I think. Turbo-Vettes, Ford GTs, blown Vipers and Big Red the elephant-block '67 Camaro all run regularly, as well as some unbelievably fast bikes (and really brave riders).

The unofficial Pantera record for this standing mile is held by the current Prez of Nor-Cal Panteras at around 174 if I remember right. His street car has 545 big-block c.i. Love to see you there.
Race the Runway is a great event organised by Peter O'Blenis. The event has a maximum of 88 cars registered to race the 4000ft runway. Quarter mile time and 1/2 mile speed is recorded.
The beauty of this event is the camaraderie. Egos are left at home and participants all have fun cheering others and sharing improvements they have done to their cars. Even though rumour had it the Cobra guys, the Camaro guys and the Corvette guys had their own internal bets Wink
The underdog was a Dodge Neon totally homebuilt by a 20 something pushing 500+ horsepower.
Profits generated go to charity

A fun day for all. This year a show and shine brought many intereting cars as well.
