Everyone's 08' Goals With Their Rides???

[93cobra]

So whats on everyones agenda for this year?

Motivated to acomplish something...(certain e.t.) ?

Go with the flow...?

Same as last year...?

Don't really care...whatever etc..?


Just curious whats going through everyones head. I know a few of my local buddies are a little burnt out on spending $$..., one buddy is selling his car and getting out completely for a year or two. I'm anxious one minute & then tired of thinking about it the next...Sounds like my car will be back in my hands very soon so im sure i'll be pumped then.

By the end of the year...I want to see:
-mid 9 second passes
-mid 1.3's 60's
-learn my clutch setup
-become better driver
-have more fun than 07'
-maybe make a final round in umtr

[cstreu1026]

Well since I already fixed my shifting issue with the trans (cheap ass POS adjustable cable) I hope to see some low 13's on street tires and get into the mid 12's on drag radials. If I get enough over time I hope to add some more power and maybe get in to the 11's. Oh yeah I want to do this without destroying the stock t45.

[k062693w]

Get mine done!!!! which should be soon. Go low 12's all motor, then maybe juice it once to see what the 11's are like!!!!

[wes 89 gt]

where to start.. pull the motor this weekend and replace all the gaskets. Then get a block and start building. i really want to get the 5 lug swap and the car painted before june...

[JonS]

I think I'm gonna take it easy this year. I've been at it pretty hard with the 86 the last couple years and I'm kinda tired of it. I think I'm gonna spend most of my dragstrip time in the 01. I will probably spend most of the funds on the wifes coupe this year, it looks like it should be ready for UMTR if everything stays on pace, but it will be a work in progress for the next couple years. I'm just gonna drive the 86 on the street this season and let the stock block live another year( hopefully). Maybe next year I'll have the fundage to do a Dart block in the 86.

[DeckerEnt]

Get mine running. That's it. If I get that done, I will be happy.
Keith

[Timido]

Run a bunch of .400 lights and 6.50 all the time. WIN Pinks All out in Norwalk !!

[Ranger50]

I'll choose, "Something running running" for $100, Alex......

:)

Brian

[Ryan218]

painted. if i keep it...5 lug swap, 5 speed, gt40p heads, explore intake, tb ect and gears.

[firestang70]

12.50s on motor, 11.70s on nitrous shot, do more fishing and camping with the kids,win American Idol,Survivor and, Dances with the Stars, win the Powerball, ohh be more realistic.

[95turbocharged]

hopefully get into the 10's and stay running long enough to spen money on suspension instead of motors, and meet more people!

[Blackpony]

Lots to do haven't really figured out what to do first. I guess start by installing GT 40 heads then install my new headers then perhaps my BBK lowering springs. Then who knows

[bobtsgt]

get some runs in the 83 when she lets me. Finish up the turbo and smoke big birds ass :D Then mabey swap out for a stout auto set up to handle the upcoming power. Start on the short block rebuild.

[Black Horse]

Back on the track!

[mustangboy]

Well I got mine running now I just need to get it on the street and get the bugs worked out. I just want it to be reliable and get more than 8 miles to the gallon.:rolleyes:

[ibstrokin]

I'm in the process now of building a boos block 331, I got some ported trick flows, I'm having them finished now, getting the epec in and tuned.

My goal is to have a low 9 sec street car on pump gas, we'll see.

[boostforever]

get my 86 capri going again after its 3 year hibernation.run my first 13 sec pass ever,and attemp to get it into the high 12s on motor.then go for the 125 shot..........

[cstreu1026]

Well since I already fixed my shifting issue with the trans (cheap ass POS adjustable cable) I hope to see some low 13's on street tires and get into the mid 12's on drag radials.

[Sparky]

I'd like to finish the three customer cars I have left and actually work on MINE. I should have a new progress thread on "The Blown Ranger" (pro-cha-ja!) by August. I have another project to complete for Goodguys in Columbus By July....a 50 F100, that will bear little or no resemblance to an actual 50 F100, if everything goes as planned.

[12seclx]

If the Cobra isn't back in time for a few early hits...
I'm gonna turn over the reins to Johnny in the coupe for
some tries at 11.90's...... :evilgrin:

(driving doesn't make a difference...) :lol:

:eek:

[Xuzhu]

To sell it. :D

[Maximus]

Hmmm. I have no idea. I would like to have my Stang back before my new baby is born (Mar 7th)...That way I might have a chance to have it ready for some late summer/early fall runs.

[92BlackStang]

Take my stock lx 5.0 build a mild motor gearing etc.. power adder next year, then stroker motor the next

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Um, to not be rusty anymore? :lol: I've got doors to swap and bodywork to do.

[02mingryGT]

I'm replacing the 3.27 gear with a 3.73 with 31 splines. Also going to Cobra brakes and Tokico 5-way shocks and springs. If everything goes well and I don't get laid off again I should be able to get my Kenne Bell on next winter. Along with the other numerous crap to go along with it.

Good luck to everyone on your goals.

[Blowpastyou]

Keep my block together long enouph to build a windsor, and try to get a stock block in the very low 10's or possibly high 9's:bigthumb

[jdubya]

Getting kicked out of the track for 11.49+ is my goal. :)

[Brandon Alsept]

-Go fast:cool1:

[347sc]

To sell it. :D


Im with you :D

[04 Venom]

Learn to do auto-cross well.

[cobraman302]

Well my goal is less exciting than some of yours, but im new o the racing scene.

My goal is to be at a very consistant 12.4x with 1.6x 60 foot times.

And I am going to be trying some bracket racing for the first time, my goal is to not make mself look like an idiot and learn a lot ths year.

[mustangoutlaw]

I'm going to have some chassis work done and up the power adder a little, we will see what the car can handle when its done. I want to get all the HP I can make to the ground and make a good pass without detuning it to go down the track, well tri-state at least. I would love to go to a wild street event this year, so I have to make it all work on DOT tires to do that!:eek: If the funds $$ hold up maybe have Plated put some color on it! we will see!

On a personal note: To help My Friends accomplish there goals and to help finish There Projects!!!!!!

By the end of the year...I want to see:
-Everybody safe and having Fun!!!
-Making a pass on DOT in the 8s :eek: don't know if this will happen, But would love to see it!
-To see what my car can run Balls out!
-to have the car painted???????
-and did I mention Everybody having fun!!!!

[Black92LX]

Just to drive and enjoy it.
it was torn down most of last summer so I didn't get ot drive it much. But last summer was quite productive.
I put in new carpet and redid the interior. Put on a new manifold after the old one cracked and got new wheels.
I am getting married and buying a house this year so that will probably take my money.
But the Mustang is drivable so I am just going to enjoy it.
My buddy is picking up an 04 Mach 1 today so we should have plenty to work on.

[kennebellcobra]

I would just like to run a 9 in the cobra and maybe shoot for 12's in the flamer and try not to burn a piston this year:lol:

[Gearhead]

My goal is just to get my 93 back together and running decently...

[Mr.Moontang]

I want to put enough miles on it to justify an oil change!!!

[plated]

big block and primer ,glasspacks,sidepipes,and a big'ol tars:pump:

[boosted 98]

i am racing my bike in ama dragbike and want to run at least a 7.20 around 200mph, i will get my motor back in a couple of weeks, it should be around 550 rwhp! in a bike that weighs 470 lbs.

doug...ever want to get back into moto x heavy again & run down some old guys that we are becoming??

[boosted 98]

no way, my knee fill fall off if i set on a dirtbike, plus my sholder keeps poping out of socket. i will stick with stuff that wont get me hurt.

[PonymanfiveO]

Johnny, I dont think you'll have a problem with your goals this year. From what I hear your car is trick as hell, and You will be totally motivated to get it down the track once you get it back! I cant wait to check it out myself. ;)


My goal is to just have my shit Orange so I can start bolting parts back on this year. lol

And maybe make a pass in NMRA Real Street and UMTR. :)

[replicobra]

i would like to get this tank into the mid 11's and still completely be completely driveable and towable. i don't know what it runs now, but i do know what it weighs....4880lbs! with me in it and a 1/4 tank of 93. however it definately has the potential. i think it will look good pullin a 9 sec friend to the track, reguardless of it's own times.

[Steves LX]

My goal is to get my 31 spline axles put in, subframes and torque boxes installed and hopefully with slicks run some 12.1X and 12.20's on motor and some mid 11's on 125 shot.

[glassman]

:dunno: Have to wait & see.
May have a new project, should know in a week or two.
If not I guess tear my coupe down and redo some stuff......... like paint, power adder, maybe power plant??????????

[93hulk]

Get my car in the 10's on 17inch drs.:cool2:

[white01]

Make a solid 10 second pass in my 5000 # farm truck. With slick of course!

Rich:bigthumb

[5.0calypso93lx]

1) Decide on a frickin' combo and quit selling stuff
2) Have a good running, RELIABLE car for the entire year
3) Learn how to tune a TwEECer
4) Finish up all the little details to make the car perfect

[craigels]

I look to go rounds in the 05 with the UMTR group... maybe get to spray it before the end of the season.

The 88 will hopefully be getting some mild suspension stuff, DRs, and few other little things. It will also see some UMTR action with mom driving.


Craig

[WHYTRY]

Get my car in the 10's on 17inch drs.:cool2:

hmm sounds like my old set up. have ron build ya a 306 with a set of twisted wedge heads and novi 2000 and spyder intake. hell a novi 1000 would do the trick (ryan) green lx went 11.06 with a 1000 and he had to much gear. i had the right gear so their ya go.

[Carl]

I want to get my subframe connectors welded up, put a bigger turbo on the 2.3 and see how fast i can get the coupe! WOOHOO!!

[OrangeStang04]

Wow.. Guess I haven't posted on here in so long its telling me I should post....


My plans for 08:
(1) Stop being a ghost to all my friends that I haven't seen or talked to in months
(2) Get this side business up and running.... should turn one hell of a profit when it gets rolling
(3) If profits from business take off... 03-04 Cobra motor with a Whipple and a Viper Spec T-56

[Stangman]

To see if the '94 will go 250,000 miles :D

[Silver Bullet]

Just want to get mine together and on the street and make a couple of decents passes!:D

[Black Hole]

[Blk88GT]

[RIXXX93GT]
