Stock Eliminator car choices

[mopar jeff]

I am looking at a 1994 Mustang GT with an auto. Any thoughts on that, or possible other suggestions?

Agreed, but I might go over to the dark side.

jeff i have you combo. only a 95 and there are a few around it will run under the index with a little work and parts are easy to find

[mopar jeff]

Do you have one for sale, or just a suggestion?

[larry dowty]

no i just finished my car this year, and it took a little work and some help from some friends but it goes under, and i can bracket race with them, i will not win many heads up races or set the nat. record with this combo but schould be fun anyhow

95's are classified in N, right? Do you run there, or move up or down? Any photos, tips/tricks, or advice you would care to share. Not being a Ford guy, I am not sure what's in store.

all cars fit two classes perfectly... some may fit more
choose a car that will go 12.00, faster is better
slow cars get **** on by NHRA with every rule change, and the one they will never change the redlight rule

or you could just tear up $25,000 and get someone to come by every 2-3 weeks and kick you in the nuts...same feeling less travel expenses.

OUCH...and to think I was thinking about racing again before I get to old. Maybe getting kicked in the nuts would be cheaper.

Yeah you are probably right, but something keeps pulling me toward this. I just want more than the local bracket stuff. When you say 12.00, are you talking about the factor rating, or in seconds? It does seem like the slow cars aren't winning many races. You would think in bracket eliminators, that it would be up to the driver, assuming he doesn't red light. Why do the faster cars seem to win more?
