Oh my God!!!! Dayum, that really sux! I'm glad Paul was able to walk away from that- thats the most important thing in this type of situation, but dayum, I know he's got to be feeling horrible about the car It was badass for sure! I hope he gets back into the game, I enjoyed seeing him progress thru the years.

This makes me want to keep my car slow.
The car has gone 7.11 at 204 with the lsx power plant, and the 6.98 like stated above was with the bbc in it.

X2 ... Doesnt look bad at all. Besides the suspension, it looks mostly cosmetic. All that stuff snaps on like legos. It would be insteresting to see the full extent of the damage once they get it all ripped apart. Hopefully the wheel absorbed all the impact and didnt tweak the frame.

It might be able to be fixed...but that frame rail is bent pretty good..you can see the crease in it. This is what it should look like

Not for nothin but that guy can drive. Its amazing he was able to keep the car at the wall at that speed instead of shooting across the lane making for a much worse situation. Thank God hes okay too.

Maybe with Tim Lynch selling the stang and moving to a vette, paul might switch to something else.

But good luck in the future.

The car did its job.
