1970 Mustang / Ron Sutton / SpeedTech Track Warrior
 

Today started a new track car build --- rather than messing with the superb '65 Yellow Mustang -- I'd post a picture but it takes too much effort just for illustration -- it's the car in my signature.

So we're going to cut up the recently purchased 2007 Mustang Track car.

See here: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=54720


The motor in that car is "lame" -- well to be honest -- to most it would be fantastic - but NOT after you've driven my yellow '65..... and it has the usual blower belt "issues" (A known fact of using blowers and stick shifts and hitting the rev limiter)..... I enlisted the help of my friend Gary Patterson (President of Carroll Shelby) to see if there is a suitable fix - but there really isn't one that I want to be bothered with...... I drive a car off the rev limiter every shift if I can.... so that whole thing is just not for the way I drive. I'm not going on track to short shift ANYTHING.... LOL


So a plan has been hatched!


The '07 will go to SpeedTech in St George Utah for a complete gutting. A complete Ron Sutton chassis will be installed -- it will also get a Ron Sutton LS7 dry sumped Track Warrior of around 700 to 750hp -- an EMCO sequential transmission - new cage - all new suspension (Rons) and whatever else we deem to be in order.


See some of the details of the Ron Sutton Race Technologies Track Warrior cars here:

November should be about the start date -- and hopefully we'll be on track 6 or 7 months later. Money was wired to cover ordering all the major components and some of the other stuff as well -- clutch - brakes (All new StopTech) etc. So when SpeedTech is ready to drop the floors out of this pig -- they'll have everything they need in house all ready to go.

First! Just kidding--I'm way older than 12. That sounds awesome, Greg. I wish I could afford to drive it; maybe you can have a passenger seat in this car . . . Hopefully, I'll have the stupid Falcon on the track before you can drive this newer 'Stang without the mechanical aptitude of Ron Schwarz. He was pretty darn good at swapping that belt, though . . .

Show off.

Will it be faster than Rob's Mustang?

Funny -- the belt only flipped off for him -- LOL


He must have hands of steel because he swapped out about 6 belts on that POS!!

Frankly --- I was going to just start a completely fresh Track Warrior build --- and then went to bed and thought ---- WTF ---- I already have a complete car that could be the donor.... it will be faster and less expensive to not have to buy all the incidentals it takes ..... things like Lexan and door handles and lights and dash and on and on..... The 2007 already has a composite hood - doors - roof skin - lexan front and rear - gutted composite doors that function..... fuel tank -- mirrors etc and all these little things that not only must be purchased - but they take TIME and LABOR to be installed etc.

Probably not..... Cars need TALENT to be fast.... most people forget about that. LOL

BRILLIANT!!


And then there were 3

Is that a fancy way for spelling Dumas Stupidity?

awesome!

Oooooohhh -- this is going to be fun!

Heck yeah!! Sounds like this will be fun.

Best part will be all the Ferd guys panties getting wadded up with the install of the LS7...

No limits!!! FTW!

How many sets of wheels for this one?
ps, dibs!

Oh I'm sure!

It's been done many times -- but yeah -- the Ford purists get all crazy.

The sequential tranny will be a big help
Viper boy and I have been running with Gt-3
Porsches and hanging with them but the new ones
with the sequential boxes now pull away down the front
straight. Very impressed with their box. Have not heard
how the emco box works

Would have loved to see the ring Brothers carbon fiber
Track Warrier built but the 17 sounds like it will more than do
the job.

It will be fun to see this one run

EMCO, Baller!

I f'n love the plan :D

I'll be following along.

There's no real reason for it (the sequential) except I wanted one. Was going to put one in the Lotus - but just never drove the Lotus enough (or wanted to) to pull the trigger on it. Always figured I'd do it if I had to replace the trans or rebuild the motor etc.








HA!! You probably have two spares....







I won't be posting pics! LOL

And then I get to buy it back cheap when he gets bored in a few months.

Now THAT's funny! :ohsnap:

This guy gets it! :D

Apparently he's not the only one....:popcorn2:

Greg,

Reading the comments on here is just as entertaining. :lol:

Please don't encourage him..........

Cool!:gitrdun:

:lmao:

and realizes it's an 07 Mustang. :peepwall:

I attached a photo rendering of what it will look like when finished ...


:) :thumbsup: :ohsnap: :D :lmao: :cheers:


.

Just his size.

I was waiting for you to post that.
Nice Greg.

I do still own photos of a certain "thread contributor" in HIS little blue speck of a car.... :goggles:

CRAZY 3 pages in and I am just finding out about this PLAN!!!

Oh I meant to call you --- parts should be arriving any day now! Prepare to get ready!

LOL

ANY DAY NOW LOL should i hold my breath

along for the ride, mostly for the humor :gitrdun:

Sure ---- but I'm not paying you any extra....

This should be fun. :)

AHAHAHAHA! So much for scheduling................

Once you finish this one, maybe you should take over Dave's build and polish that one off too. :poke:

I am thinking many guys around here could "fix" their projects with a 6 figure wire transfer too. :lol:

So what's the record number of replies to a single post?
I think this one might have a shot.... before the car gets started. :lmao: This is going to be a riot to drive when it's done.

I like your way better, send six figures+ in total to many different shops.

You are the 'Lat G Proletarian of the decade! (2010-2020)

:thankyou:
