Well, I ran my buddie's fox body last night from a 40 roll with fun results.


Of two runs the first he got a huge jump but as soon as we had hit around 80-85 i was reeling him in but by the time i caugh half way up his car he let off; the second, We both got a great start and we were neck and neck until he let off because of some traffic.


Good clean runs, but I wouldn't mind a re-match because he claims he beat me.


Mods as follows:

1988 mustang LX
650 holley
Edelbrock single plane intake?
F Cam
Completely gutted including everything under the dash
drag suspension
T5
MSD
Empty tank of gas
VS

1998 z28 a4

Magnaflow cat-back
SLP Lid
4.10 gears
160t-stat
3/4 tank of gas


Tell me what you think!

No stall, no other mods. That's all i have.

Obviously he didn't win when he left off when you were reeling him in. He saw what was happening so claimed the win.

Yeah, but you know how it is...

He was ahead.....? So if you are at the 1/4th mile drag strip and you run a 12.3 @ 111mph against another car that runs 12.5 @ 130mph you lose because he was gaining on you?



Oh and I think the bolt on LS1 did poorly. A cammed/stock headed 5.0 is a turd.

bolt on? you consider a CAI, t-stat, and gears bolt on? i mean granted two of those things are considered boolt-on's but by no means is that a bolt-on car, typically isnt a bolt on car one that has ALL of the bolt on's or nearly all?
and i'd say for the stock auto you did well especially considering the fox was pretty much built(maybe not the best build but still has alot of things done)
and gutted, i mean those foxes already have the weight advantage now strip it out!?

definitely not the outcome i expected

now ive heard it all

You'd be a little bitch letting off or hitting the brakes if you see your gonna be passed while racing on the street. Especially if it's that close.

The mustang wasn't making a lot of power but was probably about 800 lbs lighter.

lol I was thinking the same thing

so thats a pro built dragster then huh? the guy doesnt even have exhaust so how can you consider him bolt on? if his car is bolt on, then your car is a funny car, you know the dragsters cause you have some of the stuff they have done too.


i have too. literally thou, obviously we are talking about a car that someone has done 3 things too, 1 of which any a-hole could do (thermostat)

and another guy who has a list of things done, i'd say he didnt buy it that way he . . . lets guess guys . . . built it! ohhh shnaps!

BLUE OVAL TURBO

I was thinking the same thing myself. OP was he running a stock motor with the F-cam ???

To have a motor "built" you need to go inside the motor to the internals.

And yes, my car is a pro built dragster....

...Well its definitely not stock lol. It's a bolt on car. It doesnt have to have every bolt on to be a bolt on car. If you just have a LID its a bolt on car and is NOT stock.

But we're not talking about drag racing at the track.

I agree.

so if i use the same reasoning you used, then he would only have to have one internal component changed for the car to be 'built' and my god he does a camshaft! omfgjhfdskljhs thats inside your motor!

to each his own guys. to each his own


so i guess to each his own right boys?

god i've heard it all

so calling first dude bolt on then classifies the mustang as a "built" car like i said

I guess our opinions are different. If I run someone and my car has exhaust and gears I will say I'm a bolt on car. If someone has a LS1 that is a 383cid or a 408 stroker I will say its a built LS1. If I run someone that has a cam in his LS1 and some small other stuff I will say I ran a cammed LS1, not a built one.

88blackgt

no. the ls1 is a bolt on car and the fox has bolt ons and a cam

I'd say we both cars put up a good fight and it was a fun race.

Would i call my car a bolt on car? hardly. Since when are there bolts on my lid???? The only thing worth mention on my car is probably the gears.


The stang was put on a serious diet and we're guessing that we got it down to about 2600 pounds with the shedding of all sorts of body supports, the interior, and bumpers, a re-wire, the radio, and everything under and behind the dash. The car is light enough so when he pumps on the gas he hops both front wheels nicely.


The stang does have suspension on it but i don't think it matters because we went from such a high roll, so i didn't bother to list it.


It was a good run, we had fun, and i hope to get a good run with him again soom time soon just to settle this.
