What did it run? Is it a race car only or a street/race car? Do you run it 1/8 or 1/4? Just curious

My white Bird pictured, it's a street/sometimes race car. Has working A/C, cruse, power seats, etc.(fat girl), been to Carlisle PA with it for the last five years straight.

I race at a little country 1/8 mi track down in NC(new in '00 so its fairly nice). It ran best of 8.52(approx 13.25 1/4) in time trials. Not really interested in quick times(have gone 12.23 on a 85 shot of the juice), now just looking for consistancy...

What does you FATGIRL  weight? My cougar would be in the same class, she has A/C cruise full interior, just never weighed her.

It weighed 3510, but that was before I reinst the A/C(compressor and condenser were mounted, no lines). Also I've inst a drive shaft loop(+), GT40 upper(-)(had a Cobra) smaller battery(-) and removed the dog bone(-) on the rearend housing since the visit to the scales, so she's gonna be a little less than 3500... It has all the std Turbo Coupe ABS system(working) in place.

No it says that's the weight with max load(passenger/luggage)... You got to go back to the 70s to find a Tbird that weighs that much...
