Dayum, it really lifted, huh?

Killercanary · Oct 10, 2005

DAMN, that thing is up there! What kind of ET's do you pull with launches like that? What rear suspension do you have?

Is it just me or is your pass. side tailpipe about to create some sparks? Awesome picture, that is my long term goal!

Sweet! I'm with Paul, what times are you running launching that beast like that?

illwood · Oct 10, 2005

Looks like it could use an airbag setup in the right rear to help straighten out those launches.

fawcett · Oct 10, 2005

sweet man, never had my wheels up before. just curious, how harsh is the landing? seems like stuff can break easily if it comes down too fast/hard. is there any technique involved for doing a gentile wheelie-and taking off with the maximum speed possible?

I hope the subframes are tied together because that thing is doing some SERIOUS twisting....

Looks really cool though.

why is it that stangs always seem to pull the right rear lower then the left on launches

I think it's because of the rotation of the crank.

That don't help, I have that set up and my driverside still comes up higher than the passenger side. Granted it helps a little, the only real cure is an anti-roll bar.

Damn thats really lifting it!!! Nice job!! Has anyone lifted a wheel with drag radials? Id love to be able to pull mine up an inch or two.

I will try it this sunday with the MT drag radials. I think it will just have to launch a bit harder than last time out. I know I can on the ET Drags.

holy **** thats awsome

Zero Signal · Oct 11, 2005

Yeah it's a sway bar thing. Maybe go with an adjustable one. The car twists like that because the driveshaft is torqing the rearend so hard. If the wheels don't spin, the force gets developed into the chassis and suspension instead.

Anyway, awsome picture! Looks like you live in the sahara desert.

An anti-roll bar is the simple fix for chassis flex like that. An airbag is just a bandaid and not a good one at that in a high traction, high HP car.

I agree with the air bag deal totally, I can put anywhere from 10psi to 20 psi and the cars reaction off the line changes very very slightly. But still the right rear pipe almost drags the ground.

Are you launching that hard on the stock axles?

Wheelie!!
