Looks like your chassis is working pretty well. Both of the rear tires in the wheelie picture look like they are planted firmly on the track.Ah such fun, I've got to get one of my cars into wheelie mode. John

That wheels-up shot is simply WAAYYYYY COOOL! You've definitely got it hooking up!She sure does look focused in that first picture! You've got a great team! I hope my daughter (now one year old) likes cars when she gets older.

Thanks guys,The car has been a work in progress for the last 3-4 years. It started out as a 17 second 289 2bll 3speed. The upgrades have been sparse and the money was spent only on things that would be worth the performance/expense ratio. Notice stock suspension, copper radiator, stock water pump, drum brakes, leaf springs, slapper bars, no K&N filter, etc. It really is about as cheap as you can build a naturally aspirated 10 second stang. And my driver is the best! SteveW

I owe the good people here at M&M for most of the technical help on this project and especially Alex for his personal help with tuning the suspension. SteveW

What I like the most about that car is the way it looks like a stock 66 for the most part! A very nice one at that! But it looks like she drives it on the street and that has to be fun with all the rice on the road these days~! Can you just imagine the look on a thug's face in his HONDO! at a light when she leaves!!
