The Baxter video on the Hideout is an old one, of the 9.04-sec pass. This is a newer one.....

Ignore the lack of quality.... it was the first pass the car made with a new engine, and I was supposed to be focusing on the rear suspension. We didn't expect it to run quite that fast.

Here's another one from the PRO/Edelbrock Xtreme Street event at Atco:

Injuneer, I sent you a p/m about George's car, well did he run a Under the rear Anti-roll bar, if so from who(Wolfe's) , i'm looking to get one. thanks John Newman (84 White t/a). JR1.

[Injuneer]

George used a Wolfe bar.

Fred, don't mean to bother you, why on Georges car, does the panhard bar in a lower postion on the drivers side, i was thinking about that, and maybe to clear for the wheelie bars. or was it for the set-up of the car. Plus i see that he removed the trackbar above the panhard bar, i thought about doing that too.Thanks. JR1.

The panhard bar is always lower on the drivers side? thats the design of that type of rear suspension.

All of my aftermarket suspension stuff is spohn. My LCAs, and panhard are both chromoly. the relocation brackets are nice, ive got them too.

I dont know if they were mentioned, but SFCs are key if you want to hook, i think at least. My car would slide the ass end somethin fierce, now that I have them...it will stay straight. My next piece will be a torque arm, just waiting for everyhting else to stop f-ing up so i can buy one.

tires will be key. a sticky tire may kill your rear a tad fast if that turns out to be the weak link. on street tires with moderate throttle ive cut a 2.1 60, which blows...but im interested to see what it can be with a sticky tire. ive heard all sorts of good things about M/T et streets...i like their design as well.

I'm curious about the panhard bar myself. I feel it should be level with the vehicle sitting at ride height. The farther you get away from level the more the rear will move to the side when the suspension moves. Not a real big deal on a drag car but important on somehting built to corner.

Remember JR you can't remove that bar! Everything will bend under the car.

[jrsfast84]

I think i'm going to make a lowering bracket for the panhard bar and try it, i already removed the track bar, sway bar and put on my Strange Double Adj. rear shocks, now i'm going to be ordering a Wolfes Under the rear sway bar, and then the car itself is done, just need to get the motor refreshed and a little more head work and i'm going testing. My stuff won't bend, Hell, i only do 300ft. wheelies, ****s not bent yet!!!!!!! Thanks. JR1.

Your average 11-13 second f-body doesn't need anything special to hook just some tires

I agree, i had some ET streets on my 3rd gen, and all it did was HOOK, and this was on the street!!!
