Seems like the best road race combo for a fox is just the stock 302 with some nice h/c/i.

Anyone remember that company that makes body parts, and has that dark blue car, road racing car, guy drives it to the course, changes the tires and races it, its like a 347 s/c fox. Its badass.

I understand. With the proper supporting modifications, there really is no such thing as "too much power" with a good driver. That's why most nitro drag cars have 3000+ horsepower, and Le Mans endurance race cars push 600+, but the cars are set up for it and and the drivers are capable. You also see 200-ish horsepower 911's and 914-6's whooping up on road courses.

Slap a 331 pushing 350+ wheel horsepower in a bone stock LX with a bunch of gauges, and that's what you get.

Actually, you are all wrong, this guy is a really good driver, he wins dam near every autocross event here. Its not just a lx with guages, it has full blown road race suspension. Ive been in that car before and it is sick, he actually teaches auto-x course and lets people drive his car. All it is is a race car so he doesnt mind going all out. If you race as much as him your bound to go off the track.

Obviously, I have no idea what is done to that car besides what the video says and i can see in the video.

If he's so great, why does he drive off in stupid little corners like that, multiple times?

he isnt a "bad" driver, this is just what happens when someone says hey, i want to auto x. and instead of thikning out a suspension very well they start thinking like a drag racer and building worthless strokers for it.

you guys really think that that car was pushin 350 hp? thats fast as **** looking when he was going in a straight line. is that about what you get from a h/c/i 331?

i dont think that guy really cared for his car, he was just rough with it, trying to back it out of that bush and all. looks like to me thats just his beater car with the stock 5.0 punched out witha summit kit, off road h and flows.

That's sort of asinine. If you race that much then your rate of error should fall from all the experence gained. Either that or 1) he races a lot but doesn't learn or improve, and/or 2) the people autox'ing around there can't drive for crap either since he's always winning. All that race suspension isn't doing him any good by the looks of it.

no really is that what 350 hp feels like? when he was going in a straight line, is that the kinda performance you can expect from 350 hp?

how much hp does a 302 with h/c/i put out?

I have three questions about this video:

1)In what state does he have a licence, because I will NEVER move there knowing he is on the road?
2)How many times did the guys at the track have to set up the cones after he hit them?
3)Who the heck put those trees there?!?
