Last dragrace this summer, a little Chevy kill..

[-86GTStang]

Feels great, when you beat a Chevy, or
A nice raceweekend, and my Fox runs fine. After racing sunday, I changed my tires, and drove back home, 366Miles, seven houers.
" Driven to race " I think that is why we have cars, or ?

The Nova guy, redlighted, so did I, but he more than me.

Mine to the left, T.Amundsen

Wow. 480 to the ground and you drive 366 miles back and forth to the track! That's very impressive. Very nice car too! Anymore pics?

Thanks, but Its "only" 407 hp at the wheels...
Enough for some serious highway driving.
There is some more pictures and info at "my garage"

sweet car! looks really clean and i like the look! btw how tall are those rear tires and and you running stock suspension, or at least replacment suspension parts ( not back halved)

i am running aftermarket arms and the cars suspension geometry is the same a stock and i am wondering how tall of a tire i can fit under the, my current street tires are 27s and they fit, my track tires are 26 and i need a taller tire due to almost hitting the rev limiter at the traps, i am wondering if i can fit a 28 easily on my car

Thanks.

Foxfan88, Thanks. Well, Its STEEDA lower alu weightjackers, and STEEDA alu tubular upper Control arms. I use airbags inside my rear springs, and this combo works fine.
I just lift the car 1.5",using the jacker adj. for running my 28inch Racemaster DOT musclecar tires (275/60-15).,I use approx 13psi left side, and 23 psi right side in my springairbags. Strange 10way adj struts and shocks. I rolled my fenders a little, and just some small hammering at the inside chassi.
I have 245/50-16 as street tires, and just lowered the car again for normal street driving. Also have a set of 275/50-15 Racemasters for street and strip.

Good luck, hope you find the right combo for your setup

ps, whats your eight mile numbers ?

Thanks, yes, Its a car without any rust, and Its nearly stock looking. Like the feeling of having a kind of sleeper
I have used hundreds of hours, taking care of my little Fox.
Really like this car, has been mine since 1999.

so i am assuming your suspension keeps the samer dimensions as stock? my wheels i drag with has less BS so i am clear width wise, i am clear height wise, i am just worried about the front to back clearence.

i also have aftermarket upper and lower arms, drag springs and shocks and i run flipped quads

my 1/8 mile times are

1.64 60'
7.7@ 87 mph

Yes, Its the same dimensions as stock, same length, upper and lower. I have checkd my chassi if there is any marks from the tires, but no marks so far.
You got a cool car by the way,

Nice runs, a little faster than what I ran the other day, but our 86 looks similar only Blue and non TTop.

(not it's best pass, into a headwind)
1.625
7.710 @ 87.93
