Default I got this lightweight thing figured out....new build!

What do you guys think?



I plan to do an LQ4, big turbo, and a power glide!

I like the notchbacks. Should move out pretty good when you're done.

IF I were gonna build an all out drag car This is the way I would go too. you can buy these cheap, they are light and they make everything in the world you could want for the mustangs. I watched Gary Rhowe put his almost on the taillights about 7 years ago in Tennessee , all 4 tires off the ground..

I have no idea. I would be happy with less than 2800. And will pick a crazy goal of 2500.

Nice! U bringing this to the Shootout? I'm having trouble right now - may or may not make it this year. Got a 4-inch crack down cylinder 6 in the block. It's trashed. Both jobs are really hurting me with the funds so she's just sitting there with no motor. Was going to do an LSX set-up but it's too costly. Going back with same motor to try to run low 10's. Good luck with the Fox Body!
