That’s awesome 4eyed… Definitely gives me inspiration to start a comeback… The wobbliness through the traps at those speeds makes me so uneasy though, you can even sense it in the video, haha.

Yeah Bill it is a little shaky… People have been telling me around the 160mph mark the foxbodies tend to wander a bit… Most notice a huge difference with a wing. It’s definitely better and more stable on the radials over slicks though… You can see me reach for the chute lever and praying before the stripe lol. I don’t really want to put a wing on it, but once I start going mid 160’s I might need to bite the bullet and put one on.

I hear ya. I never did much research on better aerodynamics, but when I was going over 150, the tires were really bouncing and the car was going where it wanted, and that was on radials. One of the reasons I was/am very hesitant to run slicks. It was enough to make me think twice about going that fast…

Off topic completely but I remember pulling up kiddy corner to your blue Camaro at a stoplight in OP years ago. That car was so well sorted out.

Foureyed… incredible :tup:
