As far as the Mustang goes, something like this would be really cool.

Or this?Sorry about the caption to the easily offended

thats a sweet pic, and true as it gets. also i have read that it takes anywhere from 15hp for a regular bar, up to around 80-90hp to move a full cage down the track. BUT the side benefits are lowering your 60's 1 or 2 tenths and easily making up for the difference. At any rate, i dont see it being too hard to get an 8.50 et out of this car once its set up.

The car is down on it's wheels! w00t w00t! The front end is sitting up high because there isn't much weight up there yet. It needs to come down about 3" or so.

[DaveH]

XJhead: That car in the pic will prob look like your car launching in the spring!

Gary: Interesting HP stats. I sure hope 8.50's will be in the ballpark this year.

Dave, are those tubeless with the screws???

[Sweet-WRX-Lovin]

Good F-bombs with a heavy outpouring of S type words, that just brings a tear to my eye. Man I've had a lot of time off lately so if you need someone to comeover and hold some brackets while you weld them in place or just to watch you work give me a call. Seriously.

[karter_2_22]

whos garage is that in? i noticed to mod and rack of tires so just curious

[3_Series]

That is one dusty car!

[DaveH]

Bill: Yes, tubeless with screws.... lots and lots of screws.

Schultzy: I just bring over boxes of parts and take pictures, Laske is doing all the work. Once I get the car home I could use some help plumbing, wiring, etc.

Karter: Laske's garage.

Yes, it's very dusty.

Sounds like a little slingblade action right there.

Awesome stuff with the car and whatnot. Like was said before, I think autox is in its future.

I don't understand all of it, but I reckon I understand a good deal of it... hmmm hmmm

thanx Gary for the HP numbers.
i thought so is why i mentioned it, that the rigidness would easily outweigh the added weight.

can't wait to get some pics of this bad boy in action.
hopefully you and Matt run side by side so i can get some pics of that too.
