Yes! bring everyone from GTP, but you are missing one...
 
@Tornado

Do you happen to know when its open track? Can't seem to find a schedule on their site that specify track days. Ill have to ask around.
 
Another question for Slash:

Is it fast enough to beat a 2.2L automatic Camry?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say I can smoke it. Yeah. I went there.

Are you sure bringing @ND4SPD is a good idea? You know, with his cammed C6 and all? :lol:

Yes! Getting smoked will make me want a Mustang that much more and actually do something about getting one! :lol:


Haha. I know it's not a Ford but I've owned a Mustang and a Police Interceptor, so I think I'm cool enough!!!!

If I join in on the race, I'll leave the Vette in 6th!!
I don't think even that will be enough :lol:
 
If I buy him a few cases of beer it's problem solved.

Might go down to Barber or do some WERA races, so maybe then.
Would be pretty sweet for sure. We'd just have to figure a date really.

A strut tower cap? Looks like you're getting serious about that race. :sly:
 
I'm guessing you're fixing it?

Whenever my dad feels like it, since I'm not that great with a welder (yet). The passengers side looks mint so I'm not worried about it. We may or may not replace the struts, but they need it.

It's to fix that rust so my strut doesn't launch through it :lol:

Doge Voyaging Caravan Country Town Hemi Mopar Plymouth Edition.

Fixed.

Also, in case you guy are wondering, this is the part. You install it with pop rivets and welding.

It should look something like this when installed.

And just so you can see I'm not the only person with this problem...

And if it fails and the spring gets shot out, I bet you're going to take one look at it and say "well 🤬" and watch as falls back to Earth and probably put a small hole in the ground.
