    Got it out on the road today and took an acceleration video. Traction isn't a strong suit for this car. Even 1/2 throttle from a dig winds up spinning the tires to about 90MPH. Slow as hell, but it's definitely not bad for a car that made 250HP before net ratings, quicker than my bolt on Super Coupe was.

    And this is what happens when you try to stab the throttle. Only reason it hooked was because I let off the gas.

      My 69 Mustang doesn't like traction either. I've been looking at the Shelby style traction bars, http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/...ars/index.html

        Put some Cal Tracs on there. They work really well on leaf spring cars. Got them on my 69 and they work pretty well.

            Feel free to go fuck yourself since I don't recall asking for your opinion.

                  Well lets see, I've been in the collision repair business for just a tad over 27 years, yeah I think my opinion matters here. Don't be mad at me cause your cheap ass can't weld.

                      Good for you. I am sure you have plenty of life accomplishments, but again they are irrelevant here because I didn't ask for your opinion. I wasn't looking for praise on my welding job. Now, if someone was trying to buy the car and wanted to know if the welding job was good, then your opinion would matter. So until a scenario plays out which requires your expert opinion, I would like for you to shut the fuck up and stay the hell out of my thread.

                        You are seriously calling me the asshole? That's hilarious since you were the one that came in here acting like a dick.

                        • I gave my opinion on a shitty ass weld job, sorry if your feeling got hurt. And if that makes me an asshole, than I am what I am, pussy...

                            I think you have an overinflated sense of your importance. My feelings aren't hurt in the least, but I am not going to sit back and let you shit all over my thread. If I did, then you could call me a pussy and it would be well deserved.

                                There are better ways of criticizing someones work. You came in acting like a dick and now you are trying to play Mr Innocent.

                                Now, I have a question, what exactly is wrong with the welding job? The pans are solid, sure they aren't pretty, but they are hidden by carpet.
