This reminds me of a test mule Ford created right about '90-'92. They took one of these, shortened the wheelbase I wanna say by about 6", then dropped a hot small block in it (can't remember if it was a 302 or 351W), lowered it and set it up to handle. They later let the automotive press have fun with it and apparently that wheelbase change completely changed the nature of the car and I seem to remember them begging Ford to build them that way.
If it was a test mule, it probably had a 351W in it. I am not sure why Ford never put one in a Fox.
'93 Cobra had a 302 with the GT40 heads....that is what they should have put the 351W in. '95 Cobra R got it at least.
But you had to get the rare R. I agree they should done like the lightning and put the 351w in it.
What did the Mustang run?
That's pretty decent even with Texas's killer below sealevel DA numbers they get alot of the year.
Why do you think so many in Texas visit Mexico lol. Im so getting the t shirt version of this shirt.
Never said anything about Mexico,lol. But Texas is notorious for having killer DA in the winter months,and i'm guessing that 10.5 was done when the DA was probably below sea level,lol
Well its hot 75% of the year so it didn't really matter. It starts getting hot in April/May and sometimes doesn't let go until mid October. I look forward to my birthday in mid October because its always cooler.
Never said it wasn't hot during the summer,lol. All i'm saying is you guys get great DA in the winter months,and i'd lay odds you ran that 10.5 in the cooler months when there's a good chance the DA was below sea level.
The cars always run better in the cooler weather. Its been ages since I had that car. My best runs were in the early spring.
That i believe,nobody runs good numbers in the summer,lol.
That looks like the Mopar Madness show in Edmonton,as i think i reconigize the line of LiL Reds in the back ground,and it looks like an Alberta plate on the Charger.
Kitties are heavy. 4400 vs 3200 for a Fox. Thats out of the box. It had a lot of weight reduction. The running joke when talking about racing back in the day was a Foxbody and 3k in mods. Those cars were runners like the cats. I dont know that I have driven something so quick stock or with minimal mods. My Camaro is fast but it feels heavy even only weighing in at 3323.
Back in my AMC days,i had my little 74 Hornet X down to 2800lbs,with a mild 401 it ran 11.1's all day long,and was one of the best bracket cars i owned,plus it never broke being that light,lol
