I was just lettin ya know I was jokin in case you took me too seriously. Relax a little and have some fun. Most of us dont have the time, money, or resources to build and operate Road Race Vehicles. We can drag race on the street at a risk or at LVD. I love a car that handles and may consider some AutoX this season, but the majority of us are drag racers. There are a few of us that have experienced the consequences of drifting on the street. I dont know if your Login name is supposed to suggest you’re a drifter but I hope you are responsible enough to keep it off the street if so. Just ask Bennyfluffle ---

yeah, lots of fords motors are typically bigger in the general size, (not in terms of cubic inches) The heads usually are massive ---

These cars are hit and miss from the factory. From what I gather the stock shocks just blow. My 99 Formula didn’t handle very impressively. The initial turn in felt good but was unsteady past that. My 98 Trans Am with the same suspension but aftermarket Bilstein shocks is a completely different car. The Vette runflats that I had on the Formula I was told are garbage… They were cheap as they came with the wheels. I’m pretty confident that the car itself wont be half bad in auto X. The driver is a different story. LoL ---
