@@mcmotorsportsdesign6197 and I'm looking forward to having more power when we do! Ugh, we were too slow this last weekend. Totally a C class car, haha. An alternator that's mounted to the engine block might help, too. Doh! The main mounting brackets broke which allowed the alternator to flop around and break the main positive terminal. Didn't find that until the alternator itself was damaged though.
Such a lovely car and awesome that you got to see it. Do you by chance have the name for the song you used in the begining of the video? I'd love to know.
That is the best looking front chin spoiler and splitter, loving the front fender flares too! Is that all molded together? Who made it? I would love that front end on my 96 cobra
I watched the Roger Penske Sunoco Camaros with Mark Donohue and Ronnie BUCKMAN. Beat the mustangs in the 1968 and 1969 TRANS AM series ! Nice mustang though..! I grew up on this track …! 🏁🇺🇸🏆
I'd never so much as loaded the track on the sim. All of a sudden, I'm heading out on track with no idea which way turn 1 goes. I did two amateurish laps in a Renault Clio. If I do get to go back, I'll definitely do the homework beforehand and will plan on driving it a bit more competently. ;)
You too. I was trying to keep up but those extra ponies you're putting down were just a bit too much for the little 3 valve Mustang. It was a spectacular event. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it again in the future.
I had heating issues with my 289 also dont know what your running for radiator but what solved my problem was going to a single pass all aluminum cross flow the biggest i could get fit in a 67 mustang with dual fans and shroud, hard pipe in-between with silicon hose joints running a 180 deg thermostat. No oil cooler and in 100 deg weather it will stay around 200 to 210deg running hard. Just my 2 cents
This one was stored for quite a while. This was it's maiden trip to the track after that long hiatus. It was shedding all of the scale that had built up in the block and was clogging the radiator. We just kept pulling it and flushing it out. Its better now.
The sound, the color, the driving… Sweet!! I’m reassembling a 66 that I’m doing a 350 tribute with.. hope to be off the rotisserie this summer, now my mouth is really watering…(and I live in idaho so spokane is close enough to drive)
I dunno… I’m working on a 66 GT clone that will definitely compete with this one. I expect to be in under $40k. Not sure I’m comfortable in the air in anything I can find for that price. Hell, you can barely buy a truck for that money these days. (I don’t need a pedigree to have this kind of fun, lol)
@@mcmotorsportsdesign6197 First thanks for the reply. I raced bikes there years ago in late 80's early 90's, that transition from the last turn to the straight away was always hairy, especially when wet. Saw some friends bite it hard there with tank slappers. They finally put some chicanes in to try and slow down the speeds in the transition, it just caused more problems. The real issue was the cement burnout patch being slick as greased owl sh**. Great video and car. Don't live there anymore but I sure have some fond memories of the place.
My Dad had a hot car that had a brutal engine note like the Shelby - a 1976 Ferrari 512 BB - and he had it piped so it sounded like it was in the paddock at Le Mans when he'd crank it up, and it would scare the SHIT out of me! hahahahahaha! If he did it at night, even more so. Later, I acquired a standard 65 fastback that I Shelbyized according to spec - other than the side-pipes - and he drove it and said, "WTF was I wasting all that money on Ferraris for??? You paid what for this? It's like a 275 or 330, for crissakes!" Yup. American Ferrari. Suck it, Enzo.
