Then I'll have to sell the Bronc and put money into forged internals and some really wicked boost. No matter what you do, the first turn we come to you'll be screwed.

 

 

the II handles great!

Just wait and see

 

Mine probably handles better than the II.

 

only cuz its dirt light

I maintain that the II is a great handling car. the only issue is now its more nose heavy (it was amazing with the V6) and with a blower it'll be moreso

 

But you're putting aluminum heads on the II, so it"ll loose some mass.
That will help handling too!

 

mmhmmm

 

you could always throw some rocks in the trunk...

 

but then the thing is even heavier

Arin needs his II to handle

 

Relocating the battery in the trunk also helps.

 

I plan on that as well. I'm gonna do as much as I can to lighten this already light car, and imrpove weight distribution

 

You shaved the fro for a lower center of gravity.

aluminum engine block, aluminum driveshaft, fiberglass hood?

 

the block is staying because I don't want to take it out :P

driveshaft-- we'll see. not on the top of the list and 'glass aprts for the II are insane

I've taken a bit of the weight out though to make room for that carb scool

i also love how we're discussing the II so much in my Bullitt thread I don't mind, just kinda funny

 

go for an aluminum 1 pc driveshaft, less rotating mass, less weight, etc

 

Non-S197 people don't know the meaning of a 2 peice driveshaft.

 

a 2pc is a really stupid idea, I still dont understand why they did it

 

probably because they knew we would screw with the suspension and cause all kinds of heck with the 1 piece.

 

idk, it's still stupid, maybe they'll ditch it for 2010

 

I know it's stupid David. But it's here to stay for the 2010 too. Remember these shots from the Woodward Dream Cruise, this is the underbelly of the 2010. Looks just like mine. I can't find a difference except around the edges.

 

never seen that shot before
