yea i noticed it just now. Beautiful car man. makes me wish i still had my fox. just curious(sorry for all the questions) what is your rear end setup? Im debating about going soild from a fox and i need it to handle power.

Not a problem, I don't mind answering questions.

The rear is strange 33 spline axles with a spool, t/a cover, and welded tubes. I also run 5/8th studs.

It seems to be doing ok so far. In reality I launch pretty softly, so the axles don't take as much of an instant hit as if you were launching on slicks.

lol by softly you mean 5k rev and ease into it i assume? how are the torque boxes holding up? im just comparing how much more abuse a 9'' rear end can withstand compared to a 8.8 cause i frequent the track and after i give it a shot with level 2 axles i want to upgrade to something else so im compiling a list and you have one bad ass car that has parts for a great starting point. Thanks for all the info,

Nope, by softly I mean anywhere between idle and 2000 rpm. If you watch this video, you can hear that I barely rev the car off the line. This is from last year when the car was a little slower.

The torque boxes look good. I actually finally just installed lower battle boxes as a precaution last week.

Novi, you have one of the MOST impressive cars i have seen. thats true, looks like 13 sec car but runs 8s

do you ever drive on the streets for the hell of it and surprise those supras, turbo cobras, vipers, etc?

also, do you spray?

Can I see some engine pics of this beast?

thanks. I actually don't own a trailer so if I go anywhere in the car, it is driven on the street.

There is no nitrous on it.

Here is the motor and the interior of the car.

:rockon::bowdown: That is amazing, that's probably the baddest street driven fox I've ever seen.

You are my idol

[Speeds8erM-1]

Car is an aod right? You lock the converter on the runs?

 

[Venomhiss]

LOL, back in the day when my father would tell me of cars as fast as yours and i would ask him "what do you think is under the hood?" he literally used to tell me (no lie, seriously) "Son, that man has God under his hood"....man i still chuckle to myself over that one sometimes.

 

[Venomhiss]

Also, this is a PRIME example of why i ask 03249583240958320 questions before i race ANY fox body for money...cars like this one, you dont need to pop the hood or look inside and see the cage, i bet just looking UNDER your car probally scares the living christ out of people who want to race you and know about a WELL setup fox lol.

 

[DouBLeJ16]

Amazing car, thanks for posting the pics and the timeslip.

One of my good friend's couldn't believe you fit that engine under the stock hood. I see that it barely fits, haha.

 

[Blown02]

That Is Insane!

Not bad for a friday night test and tune at Capitol :beer:

This is by far my favorite car on the site. Gotta love the sleeper.
