I have never seen where one has entered into a NHRA race. Probably for a good reason.
Same combo as the Mustang but with more frontal area of the car to push wind.
A foot longer in length as well and takes up more space in the trailer.
Seems the 87-93 Mustang would be a better choice. I don't see where the T-Bird would have an advantage.

The big disadvantage to the Fox T-Bird is racing suspension parts are harder to find ( upper and lower rear control arms are different than a Mustang)
I ended up taking Mustang parts and cutting them up and lengthen them to fit.
It's just more economical to build a Fox Mustang especially since the used parts market is flooded with parts
