wellp left the dragstrip in a tow truck today, made 2 motor passes best was a 7.29 with a 1.54 60'... then i decided to turn the bottle on and i heard a loud pow and car started taking a hard left (thank god i was in the right lane or i would have put it in the wall) but any ways got out and the drivers side tire was touching the front of the fender well and the passenger side was touching the rear bumper....drivers side tire was cut all to shit.
so who all makes a realy good rear end brace for these cars what are you using ect.

Did you get wheel hop before it went? Glad i welded my axle tubes. This is the third mustang in the last few months Ive heard of this happening to. Are you lowered? Whats your suspension set up?

I just wanna take note that this is a m6 car running 7.2s on motor in 1/8 with only cai, o/r h, tune, suspension. That sir is impressive. Most people can't do that with full bolt ons.

You get any videos of the runs?
