now there all grown and My wife bought me a 2005 Mustang GT for my Birthday,
supprised me with it by calling me on the Cell phone, Revving the engine and saying "Thats your Baby Crying"

Well the car was ok, fun till one day I went to the local Drag Strip and ran down the 1320 after 20 years. well my 13.62 @ 101 was less than I expected.
So I started to modify the car. at each step I gained a 10th here and a tenth there until last month I ran a 12.415 @ 109.35
