Wow! What happened to my post? You guys done fightin now? Good! Now shake hands and let's race! Yeah, I ran the 13.4......Car baselined at 13.7 at 104 when stone stock, but ran a much better 60 foot (1.8). Now I am running a 1.9 to 2.1 60 foot with the Kumho's but the launch is tricky......Hop or smoke. Can't get a clean launch. Well, the FD was not designed for drag racing so that is what I get. Now, back to the task at hand......Selling my car! Tell your friends! E-mail the link to your pals........If it goes for 18K I'll give ya a hundred bucks for a finders fee........And by the way, I am firm on the price........this car is clean. Attached is a pic of the car beat me in ASP....Go figure. Oh, and the owner can drive it too!

No fighting, just a missunderstanding. If anything, it keeps your post to the top, LOL



stangkiller, got a link to your car? Must be pretty mean! I will have the only "fast" FD around here when I get mine, since everyone else leaves theres stock :-(



Good luck to the seller again, sweet car!

Hey Slither, sounds like a nice collection of horses! Had a new 95 Cobra and loved it. Wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either. Had planned on TFS heads and a larger cam, long tube headers and free flow exhaust, as well as new diff gears. All of the good parts were there, just needed to make it breath. Oh, and an S trim Vortech to top it all off! What did you do for the 542 RWHP? Wouldn't mind having a clean 92 LX notchback to trick out..........

This mustang has

a LOT of money invested in it. It will toast most street bikes. Its the

most sought after mustang out there. Here is a list of all the stuff done

to the car. It should appraise over $15K or so. ALso, EVERYTHING I mean

That is $10,869 in parts alone. The car has a BRAND NEW paint job less than

its a special color. The color is Silver Frost and I was told it is a

factory Viper color.

That's what I'm talking about! I like the idea of running tens with a car that has 10" wide tires........Quite a challenge. As for picking up you 88, I'll have to pass.......Part of the kick for me is picking out the combination and screwing it together. Also wouldn't mind a 93 Cobra as a starting point. Just have too many cars that I like......So how fast have the third gens been moving on this site? Just found it.....had been on PartsTrader off and on, but there are always a ton of cars out there.

Thanks papasmurf. Your seven sounds pretty cool. Had it long? Would be interested in getting together some weekend and taking a look at it. Also, have you run any autocross in the Chicago area? Have been up in Milwaukee, but not Chi-town. i am up in Fox Lake (west of Gurnee)
