I guess your right...but Best Appearing dont win races.

Lloyd's B/M is pretty dang fast though..

I guess what I meant was how deep do the pockets have to be now to run S/S...

First year I've missed Indy in a long time.. Wished I was there.

Hey Tim congrats on getting your car in the show. I would imagine you and Drew are two of the youngest owner/drivers there in stock this weekend. Jim Whalen

Well, if you want to run 8's, it's going to cost money. I made my 9" tire Stocker into a Super Stock GT with just an engine change (well, that was the plan... ended up doing a lot more than I thought) and running mid 10's.

I am not a fan of the Camaro body style at all, but I've gotta say, the colors and lettering and detail on this car are phenomenal.

Have you ever heard the term You can't take a Donkey to the Kentucky Derby??
The car looks good but trying to run it in modified classes no way 112 Wheelbase, heavy, wide, heavy and worse Aero to start, and you are going to run this car against a Colbalt or Sunfire? No way. I would bet there is at least .15 difference with the same drive train.

Sharp paint, but I'm with Ralph on everything else like trying to shove a buss down the track.

The whole too heavy, too wide thing - is that why you don't see more of the new Mustangs built for the modified classes?

That is my dream car to take a '05 - '08 mustang and build for one of the mod classes.
