no its a 2 door english Capri, 357 Clevo, transbraked glide, 35 spline rear, 15x12?s 31? Tyres, i will see what i can dig up.
Ranchos? Like the shocks you see on lifted trucks?

i just used resize image online to make these smaller. I have 3 vids of when we last raced it, the owner is a paraplegic, we crew and race the car for him, he sold the roller and put the engine in his hardtop. Best time was 10.30 at 132 over quarter using the transbrake. He never spent all that much money on the car, but we had fun.
it was nicknamed handfull, she was a lane changer some times, we changed the front coilovers and the mountings for the shocks, played with the rear end and the tyre pressure, when we used the trans braker on it last it went dead straight, no wheels up launch but was losing fuel pressure in the top, sixty foot bets was 1.29, weighed 2700 pounds with driver, all glass front, lexan windows, glass boot, alloy int. 5500 stalled 351, solid F260 cam, 2v heads, all iron combo

I built it. Simple 30 over small block flat tops double hump 202s decent cam forget duration but it was a thumper this was my first build by myself at 17. Close to 11 to 1 compression mild stall converter 3.73s out back. Like i said it was a budget ride
Is that 1350kg the way it sits now with out a block, tranny, ds and ect?
That is heavy for a drag car all of our foxes weight 2500 lbs with the driver in it with a full tank of c16. Idk if its me and i was going to put money into a drag car I would be looking for the cheapest and lightest car there is.. Mustang Fox body. My buddy buys them for 900$ drops an LS1 600$ TH400 Transmission (300) you can find these things used all over the place. Rebuilt 750 total, by the time hes done your looking at 8k for a 10 second car or 13k for a 9 second car with a turbo.
I've recently fallen in love with the LS line from the general.
Nothing wrong with that, dude. I'm sure it was a lot of fun in a little S-10.
My car is NOT a drag car, its is a street car that i want to race in the street series, if i was to build a drag car, it would be something much smaller. I would rather a tuff streeter that does some numbers
i hate the cars well not hate but im a mustang guy period
but the LS1 sure runs good though i will admit that. My buddys stock LS1 made 650 rwhp and ran a 10.2 my stock 4.6 alum block ran for 20 mins at 550rwhp then blew up, but now I have a 5.0 cast iron stroker block that built for 1200..
still street car wouldnt you want the most bang for your buck period? I mean my fully dressed 05 mustang with suspension weight reductions only is lighter. If i am going to run my car one its for cash most the time and i want to make sure i have the biggest advantage. I remember my first time racing a gxr1000, i was a lil scared so we pulled out all the interior lol that day and went to were we use to race with one seat and my buddy sitting on a plastic crate. Those were the days, im older now and dont really look for street races but we use to drive around town in full slicks looking for bikes to run. They dont realize from a dig high hp cars have a huge advantage unless they are stretched and lowered then its a different ball game. But every time they would lift on the launch and we were half way down the track cause they would have to let off to get that front end down.
man i have some stories, one of the major tuners put on a big race once out in the country I am talking about guys trailoring 9 seconds cars to street race running for big money. Every one from LA to Sac that was on the forums showed up ready to race for cash. Shit was crazy 100+ cars easy.
I prefer the LS2 or 3 for obvious reasons, but still, the LS line is an example of great engineering.i hate the cars well not hate but im a mustang guy period
you have missed the point Jay, with mod laws in legislation where i live, we have to be careful and mindful of what we do. New law is about noise, your car can be impounded for being to loud. When i picked my car, i picked a car that was pre 1968, because of ADR?s which are Australian Design Regulations, my car does not have to meet some of these. A car that came from factory with V8, disc brakes etc, and a six seater so the whole family can cruise, yes most things are a compromise, i am not setting out to big note and run this or that. I want a car that fits me, allows for some competitive numbers in its class, can cruise the 2 hour drives, go to shows and have a good social time. We cant get hung up on numbers, its almost like bb?ers, i weigh this i weigh that, i lift this i lift that, my car makes this my car does that, end of day its cock stroking.
the main reason most people go with the LS1 is because they are dirt cheap... For a budget race car they can generate more then enough power and hold up nice...
i live in CA lol i know all about regulations for cars. my street car is by far not street legal. I have a 3.4l whipple on it thats barely smaller then my short block lol. Long tube headers, methenal injection, trunk mounted water intercooler cell, 3 fuel pumps, drive on drag radials, no cat's, car is STUPID loud at WOT and can not even hold a conversation with the windows down on at 3k. Cruising i can keep the noise down and i dont drive like an idiot any more. Also tail lights are completely blacked out, front wind shield is tinted and so are side windows, so i know all about not being legal. I have to pay 700 to have an fake smog cert lol. but thats the choice i made to have a bad ass car.

It was a handful that's for sure. No weight in the ass end even with 265/60s couldn't hookup to save my life
i had a 700hp silverado once and couldnt hook so we went to my storage container in SD.. I was living on the ship so all my shit was in storage and loaded EVERY thing i we under the tires and used tie downs to lock it inplace. That helped allot. After that I bought a waterbed blatter and just kept it filled up. Truck ran an 11.9. It was pretty quick for an ext. truck with a full stereo with 3 W7's. This was back in 04... Truck was sick, i was into lowered trucks back then and it was bagged on 18 inch billet specialities with MT cheater slicks. completely shaved, all billet specialities interior (huge mistake) billet shit gets HOT when its over 100 degrees and having a billet steering wheel SUCKED i should have got it wrapped.
What's a budget?
no surprises there lol
