Drifting a mustang? Ok....whatever you want to do.

Get a King Cobra, it will work for your application.......I guess[>:]


EDIT: Oh yea.....turn off the CAPS LOCK

The king cobra will work fine...but

If your wanting to build a drift car, i'd start working on your suspesion and brakes first. Also, i'd work on you control of the drifts. I've helped on the biulding of 2 drift purpose 240sx, sr20det swap and all. Seriously, the suspesion is the first thing i would address, if you haven't already. Also i would consider a new oil pan to prevent oil starvation under hard drifts.

True I have new springs, shocks, struts, sway bary, lower control arms, camber kit and bumpsteer kit going in next month hopefully it won't take to long to break in but I hadn't thought about a new oil pan, I have a skid plate welded underneath already would that interfer with the oil pan.
