New 5.0s Now Running 9s!

Simply amazing! And from all outward appearances, besides the
aftermarket wheels and stickies, the car looks completely stock.
Gotta love that! Check it out. I only wish the music wasn't dubbed
over the actual drag strip sounds.

"Performance swapped out the stock six-speed transmission for a C4"
This is what popped out that article to me.... is someone making special bellhousings and adapters or does a C4, an ancient transmission design here well into the 21st century, actually just bolt right up to Ford's new 21st century V8?

And is it really that much better, or was it a decision based solely on having an auto trans??

I understand why it's done for this application. there's no need for electronic fanciness for 1/4 mile runs. The C4 can be set up specifically for the task and likely made beefy enough to take the horsepower levels the car reaches with N2O. I just find it odd that there was even a way to bolt one up to the new V8.
