Ditto on the 79- 92 mustangs. We run at Cordova and Earlville and there seem to be a ton of those things running, especially when they have a high school night or a street car shoot out. Nice to see kids getting into them instead of Hondas. (No direct intention to offend our Ricer brethren on this board).
Now to the safety issue. Just two Sundays ago a young guy totaled his late 80's mustang at Cordova. The car runs deep in the 9's and it obviously passed tech, but that didn't help him much as he is now paralyzed from the waist down. He was torn up quite badly and the car was pretty much destroyed.
These mustangs can be wicked fast but they can get wicked squirley if the chassis is not built to perfection.
After 40 years of racing I've found out you either
DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!
