That's because its in a car thats like 500 lbs lighter, thats like gaining 50HP. Plus the parts directly fit with no modding, so added cost/time/effort makes modding a bit harder.

Well, unfortanetly adding headers and exhaust on this car don't give you much gain, SVT already took care of the free-flowing exhaust issues. The only way to really gain horsepower on basic bolt-ons is an off road pipe (eliminate cats) and an intake. Obviously you could pull a Hector... and um... give it some cheese, i mean.. whine...

My 0-65mph time is (was) 11 flat. And I'm sure many of us have tried the top speed, though I never got to try it stock. Not stock, well the stock speedo only goes so high.

I think you mean 1/8 mile time, but that mph is a quite a bit high.

I think 77 is his trap speed in the 1/4. It sounds like he's giving two separate bits of info; otherwise, dayum!!
