Just to show that it is not all DYNO NUMBERS, John Clegg (Famous Pontiac Racer) just sent me a text message that one of the "factory designed & built" Supercharged Cobra Jet Mustangs just went 8.28 at 160 mph in "Super Stock" trim.
He said that yesterday Bob Tasca III went basically the same ET and 166 mph at the NMCA
