Track Day Thursdays, presented by Sal.
Hey guys, it's good to be back again. Today I'm going to talk about a car I would very much like to turn into a nice track day car somewhere down the road in my future. The Ford Mustang of the 80s and early 90s known simply as the "Foxbody" is kinda what saved Ford's image after the horrifying Mustang II. Sure they still made a Foxbody Ghia but it's like the Godfather 3. Wait, what movie? Anyways, this car re-imagined what the Mustang did perfectly. Throw a big ol' 5.0L V8 engine in the front of a relatively small car, and have it send power to the rear wheels. Except they took it a step further by making this Mustang even smaller. It measured at a crazy 179.6 inches, while the 1st gens were 181.6 inches, and even compared to the new Mustangs, which measure at a whopping 188.1 inches. Also because it's easier to modify than a newer car (at least in my very limited experience with working on cars), it makes a perfect candidate for building something to haul ass around a track with your buddies, and then go home in. It had a basic shape and overall minimal exterior which makes it astonishingly perfect for exterior modifications to suit your exact needs, something you can express your full creativity with. A blank canvas, if you will. Just don't rice it too hard, or at all for that matter. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is the "Wet noodle suspension" I've been hearing about these Mustangs. But hey, if you're going to build a track car you're going to end up investing time and money into it, so why not upgrade the suspension to something a lot stiffer? I love how little and quick they are, and I love how it still has that symbolism of classic American muscle cars. But dare I say that it also bridges the gap between American Muscle and Euro Hot Hatches? You decide. For now, I can only dream of a dark purple one of these with a supercharged Windsor V8, powder white BBS wheels, and maybe a whale tail spoiler to piss everyone off. Thanks for reading.
