Great parts list. Cortex and Griggs suspension. Stoptech front brakes. Top notch roll cage. Maier wide body and front end pieces. Custom splitter and G Stream wing. And to top it off a Turnkey Engines LS3. I don't think I would buy a Fox without a GM engine in it.



So Dave, do you know whose cradle or K member is in your car to install the LS motor ?

Thanks

I believe (was told) it's the Griggs K member. No reason to think it's not from what I've seen. I am still getting to know these Mustangs. Hope to add the SLA to it at some point.

From now on if anybody asks about the car, just say it’s black.
Spring rates? Yup, black
Front K? It’s black
Control arms? Black

Or you can answer a question with a question, for instance...
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Or
What’s it to ya?

Another idea borrowed from ol Smokey himself “it’s pretty much stock”

Somebody do this guy a favor and go put a lock and chain on this garage door so he can't modify this thing.

Thank God I didn't buy an orange POS that needed 98% redoing to get it track worthy.

It's a smart call... but one I am unlikely able to adhere to.

(it does need an SLA, and bla bla bla)

Joe if you don’t know by now, these guys that I bust on are really good people, some of the best! I’m a bit slow (in more ways than one) but hope to be tracking with them all soon...I’m actually going to buy a helmet tomorrow.

Good luck on Monday with the surgery!

Good luck Joe. My apologies that you found my thread to pass some of the time.

Clearly you aren't referring to me.

Get your car and safety gear ready and come south.

I got 4 track days on the books in the next 4 months.
