I voted for the Fox since I’m a Mustang guy through and through…
I must say, this is a very cool idea.
fox all the way
Miata with a Turbo LS1 would look gay as fawk, but be fast as hell
240 with a domestic motor would be bad ass
If youre doing a 240 why would you even waste the time doing an ls1? You can get over 320 rwhp from a sr20det with a stock t-28 and cams. Thats like sticking a 350 ci. into a grand national.
Plus its easier to sandbag with a turbo car. Ecspecially if it comes down to the last race. We could just run 13 psi all night and take the car lengths, then crank it to 21psi via electronic boost controller as you pull up to the line.
well i would say fox body because thats what i have and was going to race on the show.first i had the balls to be on the show but now im man enough to say im scared to lose my car.so we are thinkin of building a car just for the show and it will be a fox body car with ford power.now i look back when they didnt have acar for me to race at atco so i didnt go maybe that was a good thing that they didnt.because like i said i dont want to lose my car.its all a negotation game not really whos faster!
Not to slow down progress, but can I recomend one more option?
FC RX7. I have a buddy w/ a full-weight LS1 FC. Bone stock '00 (including LS1 style intake mani) LS1, 4L60E w/ 4k stall, and a 50HP Dry-Shot went 11.2. Throw a Cam, Long-Tubes, and a 150 Wet Shot at it and that’s a deap 10, if not 9 (assuming traction and maybe some weight reduction). He has maybe $5k into the car, including buying the roller and the LS1/4L60E.
But if you can get a roller cheap (they go for $1k all the time out here) and p00perSS has a LS1 to donate you could come in way below that. Somebody was offering a TH350, use that instead of the 4L60E (even though the 4L will hold up pretty damn decent in that light-ass car, a built, full-manual reverse valve body w/ t-brake 350 would be the shit), have Domination weld up the engine cradle instead of paying Hinson through the ass for his modified stock RX subframe etc.

I vote the major players in this collaborate and decide which vehicle will be used. The cart is getting in front of the horse a little.

I agree. For a project like this, you need some strong leadership.
u buying the motor?
ok who has a shell to donate? notch is already here. there you go finding a shell that will cost more money. when you already have a shell here
and for using the SR motor why not just dump 6k into a car to just give away? fox/ls1 can be done cheap and fast. if we lose it no biggie. why put big dollar shit into a thing that may not end up being kept?
different, its about wining. if you want to be different get a chevette and drop a Gen III in it
or do a SR in a fox?
How about this for thought too. I contact the show and see how long you will have to wait to be on the show. I am sure there is a long waiting list. Then when you are told if you are aloud to be on the show then start spending some cash.
They’ve already been contacted.
I didnt know you were donating one. Sorry for speaking out of turn, master.
im just going with whats around,if u have a sr20 laying around,we can use it!
What was said…I am curious?
I hope you guys go with the Mustang and use my springs.
see even more parts available
