True Bracket Car vs True Street Car....

318's assessment is not far off. I have had both, they are each fun in their own way. I had a 1989 fox body in the early 90's, with a 5.0 and 5 speed. It would run 12.90's with slicks bolted on, and drive it there and back. The real hassle of the car was it was a pain to drive in our Oregon winters. With no traction control, it would spin tires at the wrong time on the wet pavement, certainly not the safest thing to drive year round. I transitioned into a full bracket, back halfed fox with a 351 Windsor, with solid roller cam, and TFS heads. The thing ran 10.20's at 132. I had the delay box, but insisted on not running an air shifter like many in the Super Pro class. While I enjoyed the speed, and won more rounds in that car, there was a point where it was about consistency more then going fast. At that point I made the choice to hang it up. Now that I am building my Challenger, it may see the strip a couple of times just to see what it will do, but that's is about it. It should be faster then my old street Mustang, but I really don't care too much if it is. It will be my summer time fun car, and I'll be happy with that.
