Default Mustang after 100k miles?



u will prolly want to get at least sub-frames for the car, since its a drop top...it will flex more than the hard-top and be a little slower from weight, every 100 pounds is worth about a 10th in the quarter <IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></P>

Thats a good general rule, but as the car gets lighter and you cut more and more weight, the amount of time you shave will get higher and higher.</P>


Imagine a 3200 lb mustang running a 13.5 sec 1/4... shaving 100 lbs will be worth a tenth or so probably.</P>


Now take off 1000 lbs and see what a 2200 mustang would run (not really logical to get that low though)... It would be way lower than 12.5 for sure, probably more like 10.5...</P>

Umm, yea back on topic, who cares if its 166k or 66k if everything is in great shape?(unless your a collectorlol)</P><edited><editID>mdvaldosta</editID><editDate>37867.68125</editDate></edited>
