They are not imports. Built in the US with under 30% japanese parts. They were never RHD, they were never sold in japan, A few were EXported to Great Britan, but thats about it.

The most important parts were imported. (The engine and transmission)

Mustang 7.86 - Shep 7.70
I looks alot like he losses but by looking at the times he did not. Either way the mustang had him by a car and he came back on the top and and beat him.

He may have ran a faster time, but he might not've crossed the finish line first, which I believe would be a loss unless it's a time trial run.

The Mustang crossed the finish line first, which matters more than the time in drag racing. Watch the incar view and you can see the Mustang ahead the whole run. http://www.shearerfabrications.com/v...%20@%20191.wmv |

He said he didn't feel safe in the car anymore. And took this season (that's soon to end) off to make safety adjustments.
If you watch any of his recent videos (like the one posted) he's turning the wheel all the way down the track.

And not just small adjustments. In the in car posted by Shane and Matt it's over an 1/8 turn over, at ~170MPH. Crazy! I have seen another that looked closer to 1/4 turn, that's a insane correction to be putting in at those speeds.
And the Mustang won. In real (professional) drag racing your reaction time counts as well at the ET. RT + ET = win or lose.
