Title: New wheels on my Cat
Post by: 5.8fastcat on September 07, 2009, 11:19:43 PM

I'm trying a new wheel and tire combo for the "heavy cat" to
try to get more stablity on the top end of the 1/4 mile.

Pretty happy so far.

Watchdevil; I liked the old badges over the new squared style, the older style goes
with the "elminator" theme

Its just a Cougar...

Greg looks great. Your car is ridiculous. People dont believe me about your E.T.s now, once you hit 9s Im going to have to carry a copy of your time slip.

I hope to get into the 9's on Sat @ Beech Bend.

I kept the cobra wheels with the tires on them so if I desire to drive it with more
than 2 people in I can.
The BFG's rub a little on the qtrs with more than 2 people.

Wait to you see the hood I'm makeing for it. I think it will be a nice addtion.

I was going to ask about the hood.... Figured it was off for other reasons though.

If you ever make a trip this way we can roll those lips for you.

The lips are rolled just the 10in wheel pulls the tire out alot. Might shorten the rear
this winter.

One of the coolest parts about your Cougar is the old school script badging on the decklid. It really works!
