lets break this down to all motor or naturally aspirated cars ok. Since i know good and well that someone you crazy turbo cars will wipe the floor with my windsor.


also if you post your ET times please specify if it is 1/8 mile or 1/4 and what engine combo you have.

if i'm doing the 1/4 mile i generally need a sleeping bag and lanterns, if i do the 1/8, i just bring a small bbq pit, but it stops great. is there a competition and prize for good brakes & and an ugly paint job?

My boxtop pulls 1.09 lateral. I've had it to 141, and it developed a vibration and stopped pulling. It's pretty disappointing at the strip.

Never pet a burning dog.

Later,
Mike.

It's more of an autocross car right now. With the stock brakes, I don't think it would do too well on a road course.

On the bright side, I did win an autocross championship (c-prepared class) with it in 2006. Just a regional one, but I did put the smokes to a pretty bitchin' '71 Camaro and a 347 cube Mustang. Then it broke the subframe between the strut tower and the core support. Tore out all of the spot welds, and tore the frame around the passenger side swaybar mount. Not good.

LOve the paint...the suede looks cool on the bodylines.

But I digress...I am always amazed when I read about Fairmonts kicking butt on road courses and I think I will slowly move to a setup like this. There's a road course near where I live and I like the idea of doing that kind of racing as opposed to 1/4 mile.

Thanks for the pics and I love the vids as well.

Don
