I do too! But I think the car and the set up is tried and true, lets be real...this is'nt the first of its kind and alot of people have broken things and found out, we are using a combo of parts that are proven.

I hear ya man. Just want to see you guys control that thing when it's done. Have seen quite a few really fast fox body's end up real bad at the track. Safety is my only real concern when you start getting into those numbers. No doubt you can reach 8's.

The project has taken another potential set back, the owner and I are on our way to look at a single 76mm 03 cobra at the dealer I bought my car from...

Here is the link
http://porterford.net/Newark-Wilming...e-Car/8976226/

I will let you know how it goes, they came to $21,500 latnight so lets see how it goes, the broker that is selling the car is meeting us at noon. The broker said the car made 760 on 14lbs.
