So i have this friend a fox body mustang guy and he swears no honda will ever beat him in the quarter, so i am taking him up on the challenge. this car will be a quarter car and eventually i want it to dip in the 10's in a couple years. it will not happen overnight i know but i think i can get it there as i have been consumed with shedding weight on the car and doing alot of research as to what exactly it will take to get there. i am going against all my morals and it will be turblowed with a fully built motor as soon as i get it going down the track straight and am comfortable with the set up. gateway is not even open so really i have nothing but time.

awesome, thanks for clearing it up!

doesnt the rear disc setup weigh more than the rear drum setup?

if so, doesnt that contradict your shedding weight idea?

idk if it does or not more along the lines of a joke, i just prefer the ease of discs. understandably the more contact surface area of the drum in theory will stop better the disc ease of just slapping pads and rotors and not have to deal with spring tensions and all that jive is actually why i am switching over.
