That's really nice! For a Ford!! You should make the trek to Monster Mopar (Dave Duell Classic) so you can meet some Moparts members...

As far as fast N/SS rides, I am pretty sure John Grinwald has put the "Asphalt Elephant" into the 8's - there is video from Bowling Green of a 9.00 run (in the heat). And his car would be N/SS legal in just about any N/SS sandbox! 10.5 tire, footbrake, etc.

I hope these links work...
