Pretty much. A few people on the show have had sbc foxes too. Most of it is just stuff they throw together in a weekend. Best episode ever was the two brothers with the 9 second stick cars. Newer Camaro and a '68 Firebird.They all race mustangs because bang for your buck they are about the cheapest/easiest to mod for your average guy. Plus they are light in weight.
maybe its just me, but everytime i look it up on direct tv, it will say that on this particular episode, its a 68 firebird vs a 92 mustang.. then you select it and its 2 pickup trucks going at it.. thats always frustrating.
Plus, get all the non nessicary people out of there. you have the driver/owner/and the 2 guys that decide how the races are ran.. everyone else needs to get the hell outta there.
Everytime i see a fox on there, im like WOHOOO!!! then they cut to the part where they show the motor.. and its a sbc.. i usually turn the channel unless the car its racing is ford powered.
LBO the good ol days of having many competitors is long gone.
Back in the 60's you have Hemi/ Max Wedge/Magnum this and that in all body styles--these engines where in all of the cousin cars.
You had Rat powered Chevy's in all sorts of vehicles--look at Irvins big car and how hard it left that line.
Fords with Sohc's with real displacement, Boss 429-302, Windsors and Clevy's going to battle with tunnel ports and valves the size of our fists; once again in all sorts of body styles.
AMC had a piece of the action
Now adays its the same ol crap. Sure they are more technilogically advanced then their predacessors, but even the camaro died.
It's pretty sad when the comp on the street is so low you have v8's going up against boosted 4 cyls. Whats even worse is when the 4 cyls are in the 11's.
