Why the Fox Body Mustang is the GOAT of Drag Racing

The Fox Body Mustang is one of the greatest platforms of all time for especially drag racing. A lightweight chassis famous for breaking record after record - this was the perfect car to swap just about any engine into. However the Coyote with a MASSIVE Big turbo system might be your best option - you can make 1000HP on just the factory stock Gen 2 Coyote and run 8 and 9 second quarter miles! Jonathan has truly built a masterpiece - so let's talk about it.

What drag car are you building for reliability first?

Thanks for another great time! Glad you liked it!

That has to feel satisfying, sitting at your house and you can hear your car from far away ripping. 😎🤘🔥

Foxes are my favorite cars! Had mine for 32 years and still get excited every timemi get in it. Mines a highy modified Street Car that runs 9.4s at 146MPH with 17lbs of boost on a 306 ! No car sounds as good as a FOX ! 🦊

I'm a service tech at Tesla. I get to play with all the fast shit, Model X and S Plaid, Model 3 performance, engineering cars with horsepower numbers that I'd be violating my NDA even hinting at. 0-60 in 3 seconds has become underwhelming for me. I would still laugh manically and smile ear-to-ear in this foxbody. NOTHING can beat how visceral cars like this really are, the exhaust, the dog box, the heat, the fumes, everything about them is apart of the experience that EV's seriously just don't have.

Definitely one of the best platforms for all kinds of motorsports. Sweet and simple build!

[JonahQuintanilla]

That screaming V8 would put a smile on my face everytime😎 so good!

Something about a fox body is just so petite yet monstrous at the same time😂. Great video as always and an absolute beut of a car.

That’s a badass car! Jonathon just got a new subscriber! 😊

[Dot-Ee]

Bro Foxbody’s are so damn nice 😭 Guy has a Notch near me and won’t budge on selling it. Been sitting for years

This thing is BEAUTIFUL.
One of my dream builds.

[jeremiahhamilton]

I've built no less than 6 of these, to think they are "classics" now! Nice to see they still hold their own out there !

[HarusukiVT]

When I saw "stock motor" in the thumbnail I was thinking push rod 5.0 and was thinking "HOW?!" XD

[kevinberry]

Nice Sunday cruiser. I also love the flinch at each shift.

[DirtySkRatStaney]

Four eyed fox is one of my dream cars….

[thatguy_bern]

"time to spin!!" Lol i love it 😁

[chrismathes]

Back in the day there was nothing like growing up and watching these cars get faster and faster. Racin Jason first in the 7s, Jim Summers first 8s on a small tire, Duwayne Gutridge first 9s on a Drag Radial 2003, look it up the photos are 🤯🤯🤯

I remember opening a Mustang magazine at 13 and thinking "man, the 5.0 is the ultimate Drag Machine" It was 1992

[MemelordJord]

A coyote swapped foxbody is my dream drag car

[connoisseuroftigolbitts]

That engine is just amazing pushing numbers like this with so little done to the longblock. ✅

[MorbidThrasher]

Foxes are the best and tons of fun, ive had 3. The aftermarket and possibilities are endless.
