What were your times? Your car came out strong but the mustang just pulled on you like you weren't moving.

Question What was that track size

Did my eyes deceive me? Did that blue stang run in the 5's, the picture was real blurry. That was one hella wheelie, you might want to get some bars on that monster.

I wasnt expecting that for sure. Next time out it will leave less in the air and more on the ground.

There are better ways to adjust the suspension to keep the car closer to the ground rather than just putting wheelie bars on the car...mine drug the bumper and the very next pass it was about 3 inches from the ground...all done by adjusting the suspension

I need some big nasty wheelie bars on it!!!! On my daily...Drive through the drive thrus with them on and brake check people on the highway...Especially the slammed Civics that are soo loud and obnoxious.

On a serious note, yes, im gonna work with what i have right now. Limiters are cheap and easy to install, and pretty easy to setup as well. I didnt think this car would stand up like that, but then again, I wasnt aware the the same pills would hit this much harder then the normal setup i had before.

With some tuning its gonna live less violent and should see some mid 1.3 60s or better im hoping.
