Took out my escort
Took out my escort
I dont have an fbody, I just want one real bad. I signed up for this site looking at all the things you can do to them before I actually get one.
For now, I have a 1999 ford escort. Its got a 2.0 sohc, with probably 80ish horsepower to the wheels. Went to the track on friday, was just gonna watch cars, but the tech line was nonexistant so I was like what the hell. Passed tech, took her in the staging lanes. After high school, I was up (I was in the lane for slicks, but I didnt know any better.). I squared up with some old car, I have no clue what it was. I tried not to drive through the water, but I did a little bit. Got to prestage, and then stage. I held the brake, and gave it a little gas to hold it at about 3000 i guess. When the light turned green, I launched. Now, the crazy thing is, my tires spun a considerable amount. This is pretty surprising since I cant even get them to do that even if I try. This was the first time I had ever run any car on any track. My results were, RT - .602, 60 foot - 2.8, 1/8 - 12.24 mph - 50.2, 1/4 - 19.54 mph 71.2. Yea, I know the car is slow as hell. I ran it again, and didnt lauch nearly as good. My 60 foot was 3.1, and my 1/4 was 19.8, at the same mph as the 19.5.

Re: Took out my escort
man 300 a month is alot. I'll bet a camaro would be even more. I only pay like $70/mon for my camaro with full coverage. Allstate. I have a friend who was selling a '93 formula for like $2000 here in florida.
