VIDEO: 540I vs bolt on Mustang GTs

So I came across some old footage of my car from last summer or 2 summers ago, can't remember which. Anyways I thought I would share it with you all.
Sorry for the crappy video quality, this was taken with a friend's Iphone.
This isn't indicative of how the car runs right now. I just thought I some of you might get some enjoyment out of seeing some E39s in the 1/8th mile.
1st run was a H/C/other bolt-ons Mustang GT on street tires.
2nd run was a bolt-ons+ 4.10s Mustang GT on street tires.
3rd run was a 68 or 69 Fastback Mustang GT on DRs, H/C+bolt ons.
My 540 was on 255-40-18 street tires, 2.81 open differential.

Enjoy.

I'd really like a CTS-V with headers, full exhaust, a cam and tuned for a 150 shot.

RT, do you know when the next C&C is? I don't ever go to them or follow them, but I might make it out for the next one. If you know, let me know man
