Can my Foxbody keep up with 500HP Audi's up the Mountain? Definitely not... 

Bro you should be proud of that car! It's home built 40 yr old tech and you made it through the day, BEATING ON IT, and made it home without overheating, losing brakes or breaking down. Nice work! Foxes rule!

One small tip, driving hard on these scenic roads that are heavily used by cyclists, unless you can see all they way through the corner you can't really leverage the shoulder when choosing your line. If you have already entered a corner at a speed that requires the line to leverage the shoulder, and you have to suddenly exit the corner for a cyclist, you will probably crash. As a good rule of thumb, choose an entry speed that would allow the legal 3 foot clearance on a cyclist required. I know people are gonna comment dumb stuff about how cyclists lives don't matter or how they are roadkill or whatever but in all seriousness, regardless of how anyone feels about the cyclists, it's important for bikes and cars to be able to coexist on these roads without accidents so that law enforcement will continue to look away on roads like these and everyone can continue to enjoy them ina spirited manner, sorry for the long comment. Love your videos, I have a 306 5 speed shortbread bumpside as well! Thanks!

Seems like some cobra brakes, maximum motorsports suspension, 3:55 or 3:73 gears, and a little extra horsepower is in your future.

Good job, little Mustang. And the best looking, best sounding car of the bunch!

I don't know how that guy with the blue Ford F-150 got his tailgate trim to shine like that but the easy way I did mine that turned out looking exactly the same. Get a t-shirt and a gallon of lacquer thinner wet the t-shirt and rub it on the trim. You do not have to bear down on it. It will take the paint off and it looks like you had it polished when you get done. I've done this to two different F-100 tailgate panels the last one about 4 years ago and it looks like I did it yesterday. That mountain road you where looks an awful lot like the road to the Mt. Palomar Observatory. A place I have been to once or twice when I was a kid. If you look close at the lic. plate on the blue Nissan. That's a California dealer plate so the guy most likely has money.

Next time your at the junk yard you can grab 94-04 rear brakes and they’ll swap to your foot disc setup, v6 or gt, they’re the same in the rear. For the front you’ll need the 94 up spindles.

“I like this air, she’s definitely got more power” and proceeds to properly tee that wagon in. Just found your channel and dig the content. Nice driving man!

Excellent ride along Craig

Awesome Mr. Craig! I bet that was a lot of fun!

That looked like a blast I'm not surprised that the fox got you home in one piece I've done many trips just like that in my mostly stockish foxbody mustang.

I freaking love these driving videos!!

Can’t wait to see what you do to the fox body next🤙

That looked like such a fun drive, great video craig!

What's up Craig good to see a new vid I love your fox and the bumpside

good video! i miss watching the f100!

You did pretty well stock these aren't bad in the corners surprisingly. You need the bump steer tie rods and an irs swap and you'd be good

Loved the video. OKAY, I'm jealous. It just looked like sooo much fun. 🤙

Cobra wing for the Fox would be super cool too.

One of these days I'm going to bring my 88 Vert down from LA and do Palomar Mt. very cool. Totally reminded me of the handfull of times my buddies and I went up Angeles Crest Hwy!!

The 9ld Foxbody did pretty good. And that's com8ng from someone who drives a modded AWD turbo Audi 6MT and who used to own an 87 Mustang GT 5MT.

I know what you mean about the hot exhaust!! Can feel it through the console and shifter boot... I have the cupholder console in mine, makes your Pepsi nice and hot

Hey man, you might have struggled slightly but your mustang is way cooler than those new euro plastic boxes. Be proud 💪

Sweet video, car did great!

Dude I literally base my day on your uploads. It's been a good day.

Yes! Absolutely make this a track car. Wide body fox body mustang done right are sick and pretty rare. I only see stock fox bodies or raggedy ones.

The Pro 5.0 shifter is a good option for a short shifter. Just put one in my Firebird a couple months ago.

Love this vid, like hanging out with the crew Props from Bathurst Australia

Dudes should all come up here for the Woodward dream cruise. Would freak if you saw what people have in their garages up here

Slowly dipping the toes into more road course/autocross. I warn, you it is incredibly addictive, but oh so much fun!

if you plan on doing any more canyon runs this is what I would do, 3:73 rear gear, better shock suspension setup wider tires michellin pilot sport 5's , more bigger brakes will help and a bit more HP would be good, maybe a small blower or small twin turbo setup and bigger injectors and a good tune could help with that. might want to work on the cooling system a bit maybe get a bigger trans cooler and a bit better radiator maybe something just a little bigger cooling capacity. and then see about getting some heatshield procucts for the fox and put those on couldn't hurt.

Great video would love to do that in mine my 93 fox For a 30 + year old mustang it holds its know with new technology. I guess your going to have to make it a road course car 373 gears would wake it up forsure . Need to put a go pro on the sube next time so we can watch your driving skills

That black GT has 99-04 GT brakes with Cobra stickers. But OMG the Premium Plus radio with the EQ!!!!

You did fantastic hanging with all those other cars . I love watching stuff like that, thank you but next time leave the gopro mounted to something. Lol keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family and friends.

Craig, that black car was a Jaguar XK120 turret top coupe.

Yeah, put that Fox through the Paces!

That was awesome 👌

Your exhaust sounds awesome what do you have on?

Maybe not the fastest but without a doubt the best lookin car on the mountain great video man

In the intro I really thought the subi wagon was a Pontiac Vibe 😂

" this thing is hot... I can feel it... 200°" . Dude- that's nothing here in Florida. And- Humidity is the icing on the cake.

Those cars may be faster, but nothing sounds better than 5.0 rowing through the gears.

I think that first black you seen by the stingray vett. was a jaguar xj

You stayed glued to his bumper for the most part.

I love the maximum motor sports pan hard bar and torque arm and coil overs work in my fox and with the right brakes and lil hp your car will rip those mountains

Good afternoon Craig hope you have a great day

I own a Audi B5 S4 stg.3 all work done to it n my brother has a equal devil Audi B8.5 S4 n we have 2 foxbodys aswell , one a ‘88 fox Speed Density n the otha a ‘89 Mass Air Fox body both Black on Gray GT’s n love em to death for the cult classic nastolgia n beauty of em but agree jus diff era cars n will not keep up wit the VAG’s but we still love our Foxbody’s ❤❤❤❤❤

what was bottoming out there ?? Do you have upgraded shocks , lower springs or anything ?? It ran it ok otherwise . l lm guessing tire n brake upgrades for canyon runs next time and short shiftier maybe alloy radiator ?? Just brain storming ideas while watching you drive :)

It's not about being in the front of the pack. It's how much fun you have in the back. The fact that you never really scooted the rear out was impressive too. Or you didn't show it.....hehe.

I would like see upgrade the brake video to install

Explorer heads and intake manifold and some 4:10 gears

Upgrade to a 351 , trans cooler some suspension gymkana upgrades and your brakes.

I'd love to see a handling setup on the fox, unless the f100 is gonna be the canyon carver

The next video we'll watch Craig install brakes and go price tires 😂 Enjoy your videos Craig 👍👍

Hit up lkq and get you an SN95 rear. Throw some 3.55s in it and you'll have no problem keeping up with those guys in the canyons because you make enough torque in the lower power band

What road is that? Im in TN and youre CA but I would love to add it to my list

Sunday drive 👍

Seeing how far you have come in the fox makes me want to go fix my daily 20 year old Elantra (she's in rough shape)

HERE GOES A CAR HACK BRO WHEN MINES USE TO GET HOT A BIT I WOULD TURN THE HEATER ON BLAST AND THE TEMPERATURE WILL GO DOWN ASAP Salutes from The Bay Area 💯💯👊🏽👊🏽

I bet your car sounded the best!

One your mustang sounds amazing what is your watch

We need a GoPro on the outside of the car too. I'm tryna hear the beautiful exhaust make mustang noises

Big brake upgrade coming?

Try that on wild cat canyon road

That car at the start was a Jaguar. I didn’t see enough of it to know the model, but it was either an XK140 or and XK150.

Looks like you were trying to remake Bullitt!

cattle crossings: like speedbumps to low slung cars.

Get a square wheel setup with a good set of 200TW tires and a MM panhard bar and it’ll feel way better!

Some great brakes for your car ,check out Porterield Enterprises in Costa Mesa. I'm not a big fan of that type of racing. They did not write the song Dead man curve for nothing.

Ctsv brembo brake swap the front it’s cheap only problem is the clearance on the front wheels

How your spin.

Michellin pilot aport 4S or cup 2's is qhat i track with. Stick as fxck. Also you really need some beastly cfm fans to stay running hard like that , but you already know this. More cooling is the name of the game for tracking othern then the obvious ( suspension )

3:55 gear swap!

what road was that on?

She did very well....

That e30 is fuckin siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. Soon... soon

Maybe time to get beating the Quattro's with the fox?

What size steering wheel is in the foxbody?

Big brakes better tires as in not a drag race set up.. better seats a 3.55 or 3.73 rear gear with a locker would take your car far.. if it where mine id add in a good set of coil overs and a vortex super charger..

Why wouldnt it that 302 was used in pickups for yesrs that towed

• Maaan, You Cool W/ Me . Aha , 🤞🏾😂.

Was this a sanctioned event?

👍

What highway/road is this, cant make out the signs

Fuck your car sounds good 👍 👌

Yo, that subi sounds like it can get fucking down.

You guys are going to an early grave with all that fake, chemical-laced food you’re eatin’

5:33 Sheepey Race R8?

Yea this is a good way to heat soak your motor and find the weak points in your car... Looks like you could use a lower thermostat, when your hill climbing you really don't want to see over 200F. I would suggest focuz on cooling... Buy a trans cooler.... A better all aluminum radiator and a lower temp thermo stat should get you a long way.... Most the time trans coolers are passively cooled. But if you hook a fan up it's really good when your not getting the spped to cool it

Yes- definitely get a short throw shifter. You'll kick yourself for not having done that sooner.

I love your content, and your channel. I have owned 3 foxbodys and I still laugh at the video awhile back when you said that you think you could keep up with the coyotes. No chance in hell, trust me I know ,... Guarantee that you are barely pulling 250hp, probably well under that at the tire. I often got delusional in mine just because of the sound and 2nd gear torque. You should have definitely installed the twin turbo setup on your car, the thunderbird will never do it justice. Keep up the great videos brother!

Why to go dude do all the break check your shocks maybe u need airbags to help with the bottom out of your car 🚗

Trow 500hp or more in that 5.0 yull easy keep up with them 4 cylinders

Racing on the street is seriously dangerous. You realize one mishap and over the edge you go and we dont want you to get injured.

Drama queen,you have the power just not the talent.🤯🤯

You came out of every turn late. You should probably drive more. I beat the shit out of mine and it never breaks. You were scared. You should try drifting and learn the car. I can tell you dont trust the car or yourself.

First

Time for the ls swap lol. Cheap more reliable and makes great power. You’d barely be able to hold it in the road in that little fox. 6.0 or 5.3 cams and springs your prob knocking all over 400hp to the wheel if not more. Then if you wanted to add a turbo or supercharger you way over that if you wanted to!! JMHO

craig you make at least 400hp a stock 5.0 ho efi make 220-232hp theres absolutely zero chance youi make 300 with all the engine work that has anyway time for a cobra rear end and brake package and maybe a svt supercharger

What a waste of gas

You show those audi Ford has some grit.😎🔧⏱🏎🍔🐢
