    Just wondering what kind of time can I expect on the 1/4 mile?

    I have nothing done to the car to add any horsepower. bone stock.

    Actually, your 17x8 Bullitt wheels should hurt your launch and 60' times while the Mach I chin spoiler should help in the long run. Stock?

    ^ You really think the Mach1 chin spoiler is going to make a difference? :shrug:

    As far as the 1/4mi time, my guess is somewhere in the 16's

    yes, but i think thats just silly, the mach 1 chin spoiler sits very close to where the uglay air skirt things are (theres like, 2 of them a foot long, and there... ugly) i like my chin spoiler on my 95'... =D

    Why does that look like a one-piece design?

    Anytime you get air to move around the front of a vehicle, you are reducing drag. Granted, the car above can stand some lowering, but even by doing that alone, you reduce the air flow under the car, thereby reducing drag, and helping your 1/4 mile times marginally.

    well, if we are talking about tiny marginal wind resistance and such, doesnt that hood at as a big parachute, or? our 94-98 hoods are fine =P
    one would imagine for baby-steps, the v6 hood would do you one better, and the cobra hood a little more?

    Actually, if that hood above was fuinctional in that either it was a ram air design or heat extracting hood, it would be beneficial. As it is, it is just a mini parachute.
