LOL, That thing could probably run the 1/4 in o.0000000001 seconds, granted it's only a hair shorter than a quarter miler so that helps.


I use mequairs car wash soap to wash her, then hand dry, and then I use Ice detailing spray to get any of the spots I missed, or just don't think look good eough. And I also Use the Ice spray to ploish my rims. I forget what I'm using on my tires right now, but I like it. Then from time to time I use the actual Ice Wax last time I used it though was about a month ago. Glad you like it.

If you're going to drop this engine in your ride, you're gonna need a t-lok, for sure. um... and a slightly bigger car...

Check out the Falken Drift mustang built by XMP. It has a huge ford crate motor in it and still ahs tons of room with super charger and nitro and everything
