That's good stuff with that foxbody SM105. Kind of reminds me of racin Jason car back in the day (god rest his soul). I also had a mtx sho as a kid. That friggin car cost me so much money. It was my winter car so I didn't have to drive my 5.0. I went through head gasket, heater core, clutch, axles and injector seals all in under a year. Loved that car hated the repair bills lol. I should dig up some of my old photos. I know I have the douchiest photo ever with me and like 6 bodies and our foxbodies from the mid 90's.

I miss both of those cars.  I bought the 93 in 05 and it was great for about 3 months.  I lost the radiator, driver axle, clutch, fuel pump, and then the dreaded diff pin.  Finally I was done after it chewed through my deployment savings. 

The 5.0 was my baby.  It was a riot and a handful to drive.  My buddy built it.  It had a 408 with a PT 76 and a powerglide.  He hurt the 408 and yanked the drivetrain and the car sat in the side yard for a year.  I was just joking one day and said...sell me the Mustang roller.  He said okay, and then proceed to tell me to bring him 1500 bucks because I was young and he liked me.   I did and bought a donor car, and we did a drivetrain swap in his driveway. For less then 5k and at age 21, I had a 10 second ride that I would drive anywhere.

I like cars and beer.  I am a proud member of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Kilo Company 3/5 (2002-2006). Thank you.  I was telling Andrew some stories about being young and learning the rules of street racing. I have been fortunate and have been able to pilot numerous platforms.  Everything from Nitrous, to blown, to turbo...across all the manufacturers so...cars are my life.

I agree, where could we put the topic of say "Got racing stories and old race cars?  Enter here!) Technically it wouldn't be "kill" stories....more like a fire side chat? What do you say Z?

Hahaha oh yea I used to own and rockingham strip as we called it. I had an 87 notchback with a DSS 306ci small block. Also had a sneaky pete basically 50 shot on it. I ran stock ported heads so you couldn't tell. Also hid the nitrous lines up from the bottom of the intake. I swapped in a c4 for the speed. Car ran 12.2-12.0 on motor and ran the best of a 11.68 on the spray. It only weighed 2900lbs with me in it. It used to own the local street races. God I miss those days lol

Maybe a section under the Racing Department, kinda sorta like a Lounge, so we know it pertains particularly to stories and experiences with racing?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
