I made it to this site based on the intent of my next vehicle pruchase. I am currently looking for the perfect 997TT to make into a worthy Texas mile competitor. I have been doing the mile for about 3.5 years now with this car which has made its last voyage to the mile. this car has been 193mph in the mile and look forward to going well into the 220 with the newly acuired 997

 

That's a nice looking Stang. Have you done much aerodynamic work to increase stability at such a high speed? That must have been a gas nearing 200!

cheers

nothing beyond the vinyl that you see above. i was planning on under pinning and such but have since lost interest in the car. i have been concentrating on my lightning for 1/4 mile racing but that has come to a stop as well. here are some pics in street form of the lightning. as you can see i love HRE wheels.... they are on 75% of my vehicles....



and i also like BBS

here is cobra #2 with them

 

Love the Lightning, I have one that just sits in my warehouse, need to get it out more, its a great truck.

 

Your red toy reminds me of mine!!!!

 

yes it is a great truck and mine should speak volumes since it has 180K on it right now and i still drive it everyday.

 

yea the 03 10th ann car is a beast she is making nearly 800hp at the wheels right now and i plane for more. here is a pic of the engine bay with the whipple and crusher inlet....

 

That is some big ***** doing that kind of speed on a fairmont frame. Nice looking car

 

yep but eh car was perfectly stable and gave no wild ride. was pretty much gravy for the mile.

 

193+ is cooking in the stang

 

I read about your car a little bit. Its a 3.4 whipple car isnt it? Still stock displacement or is it a 302 stroker? I hope you dont get rid of the cobras to get the 997 because they are beautiful.

 

no still stock displacement and up until today it was the stock motor. i just now stuck a built aluminum motor in to help shed some weight on the car. and thanks
