    4? Stock Dual Master Cylinder and 3-pt seat belts. Both have been replaced fairly recently. I have larger brake rotors up front and 10" vented rotors out back. They're GM made if that counts as aftermarket?
    Escaped on a technicality.

      I will have #5 for next year.......My wife was not happy this year. She's been around racing in the past too.

          My real daily driver is my 2003 F150 Harley pick up which will just touch the 14's empty with a tail wind. The Mustang which gets driven every week has everything it has to have in order pass a strict NHRA tech down to 8.50. I hate driving a car with a cage on the street but NHRA gives me no choice below 11.50 ET. It needs a real racing seat, the kind you'd use for open road or standing mile LSR. It has more safety stuff than required but I like it that way.

              Mine runs 10.40 @132 and all that is required is an 8 point bar and harness for mine. I will be upgrading to either more cage or a new roller for my drivetrain.
              Coming at you live from the birthplace of GM,Flint,Mi. Where your car is worth more than the property it's parked on.

                  135 MPH is the other threashold for increased safety equipment per NHRA rules. Whether any individual track enforces those rules is another question. Three of our Cali tracks, Fontana, Irwindale and Infineon are really fussy. They were on my case a couple years ago when I was flirting with 135's, now runing 140's they check everything. Bakersfield not so much.
