Saying hi. Always good to check out the other racing sites on the net. I saw that one of my videos got linked here so figured I would take a look around.

 

I have an 89 notchback. Just your average every day 8 second street car.

Would this be a black notch?..

Yes, it would be.

shut up

welcome and this has got to be one of my favorite cars of all time!

 

Ha, thanks. I don't blame him for doubting it.

 

Was your car in MM&FF? Nice notch!

 

It has been all over the place, but MM&FF did a feature story on it back in August 2007. It was in last month's issue of MM&FF and also this month's Race Pages from the coverage of the NMRA Atco race for the True Street class.

Fuck you, just cuz he owns a magazine car doesn't make him special.

 

I'm glad to see a real 8 sec car want to be part of our community, but I don't read Ford mags and would like more info.

I'll tell you whatever you want to know about it.

 

I would classify it more as a car that has been in magazines than a "magazine car". It definitely wasn't built for that purpose and it is not a show car by any means.

 

The basics of the combination are:

 

427 cid, procharger F2 with an a/w intercooler, Accel Gen VII, EFI Spyder intake, TFS-R heads, 2 inch primary long tubes, 3 inch exhaust out of 3 inch tailpipes. The car is a full drag suspension although most people look at the car and think it is a road race suspension because of the way it sits.

 

I drive it all over the place as it has a transmission with o/d in it. Cruises at 60 mph at about 2200 rpm. Most of the time I race the car on 17 inch drag radials just because it is more fun and surprises people. The car has a stock hood and you can barely see the cage in it.

 

My current best is 8.87 at 160.77. An average pass for the car is in the 9.15 or so range in the high 150's.

Sounds pretty cool. I'd love to see a few more pics, but sounds like a steller combo.

Fucking baller as shit. Lame as it sounds, that has got to be one of my dream cars. :p

 

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you here. :cool:

 

BTW, is it blue or black? Magazine photo looks like a pearl blue...

 

Thanks.

 

It is black. Originally it was the midnight blue metallic that ford had in 89, but it is definitely completely black now.

 

+1 on that!Welcome, and once my 3 kids are out of college I'll have one like that.jk!

 

Believe me, at this point, I've probably dumped enough money into the thing that it could cover a college education! Well, probably not, but it seems like a lot!
