    With a good tire and suspension tuning it’s a 10 second ride!

    I completely love being faster than you look. Great taste. Perfect sneaky Ford. The ability to smoke most any new car is whats happenin!.

    I imagine the sleeper angle gets a little tougher to sell when someone has their window rolled down. I like the tail pipe though! :bigsmile: Very nice car.

    Wow!!! I like it. Only thing I would do is get a set of widened steel wheels and add a set of drag radials.

    What a cool project, you nailed it! Easy mid 10 with that mph.

    Reminds me of a FAST (factory appearing stock tire) class car.

    Love it!

    How does it do without subframe connectors? Is it doing the Vega twist?

    It does just fine. I think my rear springs are too stiff to let it twist any. Front just comes up then down quickly. No signs of stress anywheres but I don't drag it much either...
