Needs 13-14.5 psi in those tires if those Hoosiers are the Bias-ply versions (which they better be if it's not a track queen) looks like probably 20psi in them which is way too much for getting a bias ply to hook, also needs a much better burnout, use the transbrake and get the guys to hold it on the sides so you don't slide out of the groove while doing it, and use some freaking PJ1 instead of water. Everyone saying to soften it up in the back doesn't know what they're talking about and never set up a car for drag racing. You want the stiff suspension so the launch weight transfer goes to the tires, a soft suspension will dampen that weight thru the springs/shocks which means less of that weight makes it to the tires. Let the tires dampen that force, not the suspension. Try this out with a pencil eraser, drag it across your desk with just a little weight on it, then drag it across the desk with your arm's weight on it. It's just physics.

I've never seen a 700hp fox this slow, much less a stripped down one. This looks comparable to 302 fox with GT40 heads and a cam, so probably in the 400hp range. Most likely the timing is way too low because the octane you're trying to run isn't optimal for the boost, which would also explain why it can't really get the burnout going.

Love this show. Just seems to be the most down to earth car show out there and feels like watching some guys I’d know run a shop and build cars. I’d love to see a season two, I think there’s more being done on this show that most car guys could relate to than most other shows out there.

It was spinning it didn't grip at all the car is too hard in the back it needs a squat and it needs more travel in the front

that dudes entire demeanor changed after he did the 1-2... trans brake button move on the 2nd pass. He was all chirpy and confident until he realized he was a 1 trip pony drift Boi

DUDES. I just finished the second episode and I love it. Just hacking together some random stuff and having fun. I like the comradery but I wish you showed more of the "engineering" and making things work. Some more tech would make this show perfect.

When the toy RC car is driving on bathroom tile

[mcdonaldm]

So these are car guys? I guess I'll have to take your word for it MotorTrend.

[MachRC]

Just watched the first ep. Great show.

[mr.know_it_all]

Nice! Get a dragy so you can see your improvements!

[RDEnduro]

If your late on the scarf drop it will affect your e.t.s

[guitarman]

Why are the reverse lights on even though the car is not in reverse?

[Cougarmagic]

What did I just No give in the suspension, its evident they don't know what a hooking car looks like. Mmm

[hpjunke]

I dunno i make way less power then that and my foxbody hangs the front tires

[forterierocks]

That was sad... My 305 Z28 launches harder then that

[lsxse]

How to make a mustang fast... Put a turbo LS in it!🤷

[Tommy-B.]

Can’t do a burnout until it launches. And what’s with the dude dropping his scarf?

[MrRandy]

That is far from a no prep car. Horsepower means nothing if it dont hook. Get some double adj struts in the front and d.a
Shocks in the back and a anti roll bar put a spool in the rearend and actually do a burn out then have some fun

[nothanks]

😂 all.that and don't even run it at the track or get it run half decent, seems to be the common theme of motor trend shows. Should have gave sloppy guys a show before the cancelled everything😂

[ponypwr]

Lol slowest 700hp fox to date.... way from a win..

[TheKeithterry]

I watched the shop truck episode. I liked some of what they did to the truck, but I found these guys irritating.
