Yeah, like said earlier, I wanted more of a mach 1ish look. I don't want to look like every other stang. The stalker hood will have the scoops painted black as well, so it should all work out in the end. I know what I've done so far is kind of a love it/hate it look.

Well I guess that shows how much I've been paying attention. I need to get the hell out of here so I can get my mind back into the car.

Ok guys...I HAVE to post this one. I laughed a little.... But the main reason I hate car show-off sites is posers like this guy. Read a little. Doesn't sound 'right' does it? Now, look on the left bar, where his Quarter Mile is listed. Tell me what's wrong with that picture.

Erich's Car Pix

Okay guys, here is the start of a few pics of Erich's car with the new wing. I did reduce them a bit, but they are still big.
Enjoy.

In this pic is the kid who stole my idea!!

Hmmm, 13.1 @ 94? Me thinks the exhaust fumes have gone to his head.

dg28182 · Apr 14, 2003

Last one...

Hey Erich, see if you notice anything different in that 2nd pic..
and in the first one, I did as you requested.

dg28182 · Apr 14, 2003

dg28182 · Apr 14, 2003

That's all folks..

Hey Dave paint his side scoops and hood scoop black to how it would look.That burn out pic you hacked was pretty cool.

erichmess_ · Apr 15, 2003

Looks good, Dave. Driverless burnout.

What happened to the black bullitt idea?

dg28182 · Apr 15, 2003

Dude, those pictures were so huge it took me 45 minutes JUST to resize them... I had pictures of my own to resize also...was using PS last night for over 3 hours trying to resize photos. Your and mine and there were only about 12 of them. I'll do the black Bullitt thing this evening if I get the chance.

I agree with you Dan, from my experience a 13.1 would be more like 104MPH. A trap of 94MPH might get you a 14.1 in a light car with excellent traction, but I doubt even that.

on edit:
No, on examining it closer and checking the numbers you would have to run 96MPH pushing only 2800# to get a 14.1 ET, so that guy is full of 5h!t no doubt.

OrLackThereof · Apr 15, 2003

Just as I thought. I wrote to the guy something along the lines of "Looks like you were doing an awesome run, but about 10 feet from the finish, you smashed through a brick wall."

Erich.....badass looking. Thats all I gotta say.

dg...driverless burnout, I love it! Nightrider style!

JUST resizing? I use a program called eyebatch that drops my 100 or so pics from my digital to 640x480 and 800x600 for me in about 2 minutes.

And there's no way that car weighs in at 2800# race weight.

Glenn88lx · Apr 15, 2003

So Dan, how much longer you going to be in Texas? I am really wanting to see how your car works out with the new K-member and a TA.

I picked up a few new toys for the Cobra in the last few weeks and will soon have them on the car and ready for testing at the next AX.

OrLackThereof · Apr 15, 2003

Like I said, bag, he was doing an awesome run but he ran into a brick wall 10 feet from the line, which lowered his trap speed.
