RAVEN6- The evolution of the Boss 429

Owner: Ken McCauley

Car Name: Raven6

Color: Black ( naturally)

Year: 2007

Type: GT Coupe, Auto trans

Engine: 4.6 L 3V

Wheel Size: 17x8 front, 17x9 rear

1/4 Mile: 1.686 60ft, 11.614 ET 121.37 MPH Atco 12/06/08

RWHP: 465

RWTQ: 428

Inspiration/story: The severely understated styling and abundant horsepower and torque of the 69 & 70 Boss 9's was the concept behind the execution of the Raven. Yes it has the GT500 front and the GT500 wing. They are on there for the appearance enhancing qualities only. There are no Shelby stripes, no cobra badges and most importantly no Shelby emblems anywhere on this car. It is not a Shelby, It is not a Shelby poser. Why try to be 1 of 20 or 30 thousand when you can be 1 of 1.

Raven6 is a daily driver first of all with over 28,000 miles on the odo. When not on the highway she spends most of her time at local and regional car shows. Where she has taken awards at the Carlisle All Ford Nationals and the huge Mustang Week show. Lastly she is an infrequent competitor on the drag strip with perhaps 5 or 6 track outings a year. She is not really set up for hard core drag racing but she can hold her own on the 1320.

Other Info: Raven6 will be competing in PINKS ALL OUT on July 26 2008 at Old Bridge Twp Raceway Park Englishtown NJ.

Update: raven6 took 2nd place award in the 2005 and up modified Mustang class at the Carlisle All Ford Nationals on June 7 2008

Update2: raven6 ran in Pinks All Out at E-town on July 26 and turned a 12.12 @114.28 on the first time trial. The second run felt a little better but when you take the arm drop from Rich Christenson only the Pritchett boys in the tower see the times and no time slips are given. The combination of heat/humidty and an hard to find vacuum leak contributed to ETs that were off her normal pace. A nine second class was chosen for the final 16.

I saw some threads talking about ET & horspower claims so I am adding time slips and a dyno sheet just to verify raven6 is on the level

my apologies for the temporary problem with some of my photos. The host site experienced a major electrical problem resulting in an explosion and fire. although none of the servers were damaged the power remains downs until the circuits can be checked. Hopefully pix will be back up by tomorrow ( Monday 6/2)


6/3 edit
I added some thumbnails until the host site where my photos are located can recover. it has been down for three days now and there is no firm ETA for coming back online.

6/4 Edit
Host site is not expected back up until Friday(6/6). At which point I will be in Carlisle, PA for the All Ford Nationals. Probably not able to get regular photos up until Monday.

This car is the most sinister looking car I have ever seen. And it has the muscle to back it up. Good luck raven6
