JT55 from MHP went 11.46@122 with just airboxes, Longtubes/X-pipe & tune at 3900#.

C63's (virtually the same car, same powertrain, weight etc.) have been deep in the 10's with bolt-ons at around 3800#.

There are some heads/cams cars out there too but very rare.
Wasn't implying you should be scared at all, my bad if it came off that way. That was more of a compliment to Mike's car than a shot at yours. I know those Mercs can run hard. Damn nice cars to boot.

Think I actually just asked a question...then made fun of my car...then asked you to make me a sticker as well. You're awfully sensitive for someone with so many nice things, goodness, lighten up sugartits.

Holy ****, man. That car is clean and the paint looks great. I like the stripe too.
As was already stated by MAC...some nice wheels would really set the car off.
Sweet car, man.

Skrilla's logic: another car has run a certain time, therefore mine will.

Happens to everybody hoss, which I'm sure you know. I've done mods that had zero chance of slowing me down...yet they did just that.

If they ever owned a shop then they should be smart enough to know that a MD can be easily manipulated and that your 10-12% guess does not always work

Agreed, not a bad looking wheel. A chrome or black 17" Saleen would look badass on Snake's ride though. ......IMO

I appreciate it, bud. Maybe tonight I'll have the old lady stand on the road and take a drive-by vid or something.


Thanks for the tip. It's bone stock rear suspension now and just 4cyl front springs/new stock struts up front.

Lol, it's not that bad, it's just that I've been out of a fox body for a while so it took a couple miles for me to realize how unrefined these cars are

Side windows back,rear bumper,dash tails etc.. You were sneaky and also added the 87 and up side mirrors.

Is that an original 5.0 car? LX 5.0 in 86 especially a coupe if pretty rare

Thanks a lot MachXLR8!!! The paint looks good from 10 feet away or more, when closer you can see a couple blemishes. As far as the stripe, you're not the first to say you like it! I've toyed with the idea of 2 racing stripes down the center but I'm not sold on it yet.

For wheels, I'd probably go SVE Series 1 or FR500s that are black with a chrome lip.

Mike, yep original 5.0 LX car from 86. This is also why I wanna get it back to four eye, to keep it era-correct. That and I love how 4 eyed stangs look.
