Bill,
If you would change the hood and wing to something smaller, your car would look like the average 12 second Mustang, you could break some hearts...lol

Did some swapping around and put the car back the way it used to be.Looks a little more streetable and clean imo...I also went to jegs and picked up a set of hoosier275/60's for the 10"rears:D

[flyin2jz]

Made some test passes yesterday.I was at tristate. There was about 8 cars running.I guess everyone was scared of rain??I put a new set of hoosier drag radials on it the track wasnt working with them at all!!I did manage a 10.85 na @127 1.67 60' It went a na 1.44 60' last time to e20 on slicks.I think its going to get down once I get my 60' back!!!!:bigthumb

I'm sure times will come down once that 60' gets back in check

[2Fast4You]

You just need to break them drag radials in then you will start to see some better times. I'm sure the weather also had some effects on the 60'.
I still have these slicks if you want to entertain that thought Bill, LOL.
Also, let me know if you still want them GT moldings.

[mustang8998]

Good to see it out, Bill!

(I won't say anything about "the hood", LOL!)

Great 60' for the first time out on the drag radials! Especially at tristate! Car is looking good, I always liked headlight covers on a 4-eye. Makes me think of Bob Hanlons ride!

[Kwik92GT]

Give those radials a chance, you'll get 'em figured out. Takes a bit of trial and error with the setup but I think you'll like 'em when you get it right. :bigthumb
